U.S. and E.C. Joint Roadmap on Security

This press release from Customs and Border Protection states that CBP and the European Commission's Tax and Customs Union Directorate have adopted a joint "roadmap" to mutual recognition of trade partnership programs. The ultimate goal is to establish mutual recognition of the U.S. Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and the European Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs. Once mutual recognition is established, C-TPAT and AEO members will be able to participate in the corresponding other program and, one assumes, reap the benefits thereof. According to the plan, upcoming steps include:

  • Establishing guidelines on information exchanges
  • Joint verifications
  • C-TPAT for exporters
  • Exchanging best practices
