The business environment companies operate in has become more and more integrated over the years. With a 27-state strong European Union, and increased trade with emerging markets such as India, Brazil, China or the CIS, as well as coordination with US import-export standards, there have been many developments in recent years pushing for regulation that appropriately reflects and responds to the demands of this integrated business environment. In the last two years especially, there have been a myriad of developments from the WTO and the European Commission meant to create a simplified and more effective trade and customs environment. With different regulations and provisions in place, however, changes can sometimes be too complex and intricate. Some of the new regulatory provisions now being discussed, while meant to better facilitate trade and simplify procedures, are perceived to have the opposite effect, with disturbing cost consequences on companies doing trade.
