It is Time to stop Environmental Crime at the Border
28-02-2009

Some people may ask why Customs has anything to do with environmental crime. They may also argue that it is all too late when a tiger skin is carried through the Customs. However, if Customs does nothing, more wildlife will fall victim to illegal poaching or be taken away from their natural habitats.

The European Customs Union: 40 years of success
30-06-2008

On 1 July 2008, the European Union (EU) will celebrate the 40th anniversary of its Customs Union. This is a very considerable achievement of which we can be proud. We have gone very far during these 40 years in building a unified Customs entity. Now, what does the future hold? How will the role of Customs change? Can Customs continue to evolve to meet new challenges, as well as the expectations of our nearly 500 million citizens? I suggest that we should not be passive spectators to the events around us, but that we should actively respond to change.
