Academic Scientific JournalsTFA’s assistance in international trade, its economic consequences and their impact on the customs services in the European Union
Keywords:
customs services, international trade rules, customs clearance, Trade Facilitation AgreementAbstract
The revised protocol to the agreement on trade facilitation signed on November 27, 2014, amended the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization and introduced significant facilitation of international trade which, generally speaking, does not constitute revolutionary changes for the customs environment of the EU, as most of the proposed facilitators have already been operating in the EU for a long time. The article aims to analyse the proposed facilitation of international trade in the context of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) and its impact on customs service of companies within the provided customs services. The changes are ultimately to contribute to increasing the competitiveness of international customs services, strengthening the competitive position of the EU, creating development opportunities for international trade and improving the quality of customs services companies.
