In this recording of the "EU law news overview" webinar held on the 3rd of April 2025, Anthony Buckley examines the major regulatory changes and developments affecting customs and trade in the EU and beyond.

  • He mainly focuses on the ICS2 implementation, the EU’s enhanced Import Control System, which introduces stricter pre-arrival data requirements for goods entering the EU and its implications for traders and carriers.
  • The presentation also covers France’s introduction of the Obligatory Electronic Envelope (ELO), a digital requirement put in place by France to deal with Brexit, and the transition period before it becomes fully mandatory.
  • Anthony also addresses the new UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system, now extended to EU travellers, and outlines who is affected and how it operates.
  • In addition, he discusses the implications of newly announced US tariffs, including potential complexities for manufacturers operating in the US.

Discussions around US tariffs have made many people think again about the reasons and motivations behind countries imposing tariffs. Throughout history, there have been many examples of strict protectionism and free trade between countries. Why do countries impose tariffs, who benefits from them, and who loses out? What are the consequences and risks of unjustified tariff policies? These and other questions were discussed at the 27th Authors' Meeting, which brought together customs and trade experts from Belgium, Bulgaria, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Brazil, the US and China. Read an overview of the discussion in the article below.
