Mr. Niall Cody:
On customs and how it operates, it is an ICT-driven supply chain management process, in which we have a range of options under the Union Customs Code, UCC. I spoke here and in other committees about the UCC as adopted in 2015, which is to be implemented between 2015 and 2025 by EU member states. There is a range of options contained in it and, in that context, we are accelerating the implementation of the provisions that can allow greater simplifications for trade. I am satisfied that Revenue will be in a position to support trade in April next year.
