CLECAT Position Paper on Proposal for EU Single Window Environment for Customs
CLECAT welcomes the European Commission’s
proposal for EU Single Window Environment for Customs as a significant step
forward for the EU Customs Union and Internal Market.
CLECAT is convinced that, if
effectively implemented, an EU-wide Single Window solution has the potential to
address the existing fragmented model of regulatory compliance and lack of
coordination between border authorities. An EU Single Window environment should
allow for the streamlining of exchanges of information and customs controls and
ultimately facilitate trade with simplified processes, time saving, faster
clearance and reduced administrative burden. CLECAT further outlines several
important observations and recommendations for proper and meaningful
implementation.
