The question remains whether it is possible to boost security in global supply chains without distorting trade. In the area of customs compliance there are important upcoming changes. Companies must now prepare for the new Union Customs Code.  Will the signing of the Mutual Recognition Agreement between the European Union and United States carry substantial benefits for companies operating under the Authorised Economic Operator Scheme? The Forum will discuss these questions and give first hand insights from the European Commission and industry experts. Capitalise on this unique opportunity to learn about these changes and the impact they will have on your sector. More information including the draft programme will soon be available on the CLECAT website.
