"We are living in the 21st century, and have no option but to adjust to new and fast-changing circumstances.
That is why I warmly welcome the report by Mr Heaton Harris on the introduction of a paperless environment for customs and trade.
The provisions of this document are very relevant to modern Europe and should be introduced as a matter of urgency. They refer to the tools with which to create a new generation of working environment in customs and trade. I refer to the establishment of a paperless environment, which is so necessary mainly to relieve our officials, who are reeling from the demands of unnecessary administrative paper documentation. We should also keep in mind issues pertaining to environmental protection and the quantities of trees that have to be sacrificed to meet the demand for paper required for this purpose.
I consider the introduction of electronic customs systems to be particularly important and urgent. I also advocate the creation of ‘Single Window’ and ‘One-Stop Shop’ facilities. I am convinced Europe should invest more in this type of solution, to ensure that the statements in the Lisbon Strategy become more than empty words."@en1
