11th EUROPEAN CUSTOMS CONFERENCE

« DOES "FRONTIER" MEAN THE SAME

TO ALL OF US? »

NOVEMBER, 17-18TH 2011 LYON – CONVENTION CENTER – PASTEUR ROOM

RONTIER?

What comes to your mind first?

Your geographic lessons, maybe? If one studies the History of the European Union one will learn that the

geographic borders may be internal or external. Being a geographer is not enough, now we must be a historian,

an economist, a tax or a customs specialist to answer this question. We need to make a distinction between

several borders: those based only on the tax system and those based on the customs system! This geographic,

economic, fiscal and customs observation alone proves that the subject about “frontier” is neither innocent nor

simple.

But then what is a “frontier”?

- A limit? An obstacle? A line? A border? A step? An enclave? A space? A surrounding wall? A barrier? A wall?

An edge? A land mark?

- Is it political, legal, financial, sovereign, conflicting, dividing, source of power?

Whatever term we link to the word “frontier”, we touch a nerve.

Giving a definition to the word “frontier” would take too much time and energy to finally conclude that it

means too many things. So let us ask another question:

What is it made for?

The first word that comes to mind is "control"! At least, there is a consensus here...

- Now let us deal out the cards named "controls" for a sequence of battle frontier: health, plant health, public

health, morals, standards, compliance, product name or classification and origin labeling, values,

counterfeiting... Without mentioning the newborn in the family: safety and security.

- Do we all know how to take the lead in this game? We could say that some of the players successfully draw

from the stock; others hand over the lead, and some play dead, call, raise, drop or pay.

- As usual, those who know the rules of the game can develop a strategy and avoid to be guided by chance.

Those who have all the trump cards or cheat will cross the border, but the others will get bogged down as

losers or victims of their own innocence.

- Winning this game is not a guarantee of honesty, consequently crossing the border is not a guarantee of

accuracy. Only the quality of the players counts.

What are the chief assets of a good player?

A good player needs pedigree, knowledge, method to analyze the rules, good luck, and also good command of

the game and of the other players in order to secure the bet.

Winning a trick implies as much control of the rules as the cards and the players. Everything lies on the balance

of power. The rules come in many combinations of cards. As for the game itself, it depends on the quality of

the players.

Are you puzzled by these observations?

Then, take another few moments to think about this question we want to address in our next European Customs Conference on November 17th and 18th, 2011 in Lyon:

« Does "Frontier" Mean the Same to All of Us? »
