Education in the context of the new and expanded role of Customs

Customs is facing unprecedented challenges in dealing with growing complexity: international sanctions, Brexit, to name but a few. It currently enforces 348 regulations and counting. This new reality raises many education-related questions. In this episode 4 of the CKI podcast, we look at one of them: how can knowledge be disseminated to businesses efficiently and with high quality?

Renowned experts in customs education, the architects of the EU Customs Competency Framework, take part in this discussion: 

• Frank Heijmann, Counsellor Customs, Permanent Representation of The Netherlands to the EU and
• Prof Dr Hans-Michael Wolffgang, Director of the Institute of Customs and International Trade Law (ICTL), University of Münster, Germany.

The discussion is moderated by Anthony Buckley, Chairman of the CKI and former Head of Irish Customs.

The key to managing complexity is knowledge.
