Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed)
10:00 am
Mr. Niall Cody:
Right now, our systems have common features because both of us are members of the European Union and implementing the EU customs code. With the new Union customs code, there is a whole process of IT developments that are common across all countries. The United Kingdom, for example, is in the midst of a redevelopment of its main customs computer system, which is due to be launched in 2019. It was in planning for a considerable period before the United Kingdom knew there would be a Brexit challenge. It is now considering the scalability of its plans to ensure its system can cope.
