AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoCustoms Crackdown in French Guiana: France’s Minister for Public Accounts David Amiel says the first phase of “Customs Plan 2030” rolls out in 2027, with 15 extra posts at the Grand Port Maritime de la Guyane, a leased Beechcraft for high-seas monitoring, and a high-capacity mobile scanner to boost container checks beyond the current 93% screening. Drug Trafficking Pressure: Amiel links the plan to rising threats from cocaine and synthetic opioids, citing last year’s seizures in French Guiana (466 kg cocaine, 70 kg cannabis, 1,212 kg tobacco) and earlier promises of €419 million plus 25 more scanners by 2030. Regional Route Claims: Venezuelan authorities allege Suriname is a transit point in a cocaine corridor to Europe, with shipments reportedly moving via Guyana and Suriname after arrests in Anzoátegui and the destruction of an illegal airstrip. Health Advisory for Travelers: UK-linked malaria risk maps now include French Guiana, warning travellers to take precautions as imported malaria cases in the UK remain a concern. Aviation Connectivity: Air France announces a new Pointe-à-Pitre–Panama City nonstop route starting 11 Dec 2026, timed to connect with Fort-de-France and Cayenne via Pointe-à-Pitre.
