The EU Trade Commissioner visits WCO

Yesterday the EU Customs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici participated in the EU Trade Seminar at the World Customs Organization (WCO) on Rue de Marche 30 in Brussels. 

Today the EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström visited WCO to participate in a ‘Women in Trade’ meeting.

It was Ana Hinojosa, the Director for Compliance and Facilitation – and a good friend of mine – that had invited Commissioner Malmström to the World Customs Organization for the network meeting. A great initiative. 

It is naturally extremely important for the Customs community to have regular contacts with key people in the global trade environment. I was very pleased and proud to see that our Commissioner visited the WCO.

Commissioner Malmström earlier today on Twitter expressed her gratitude and happiness about having participated in the network meeting at the WCO.

Also Secretary General Kunio Mikuriya has over the years done a lot to raise the profile of the WCO by inviting different decision makers to visit the home of Customs, the World Customs Organization.
