The following is excerpted from a 25 March 2013 news release by the World Customs Organization.
The WCO's Permanent Technical Committee (PTC), in its 60th year of existence, held its 199th/200th Sessions in Brussels from 18 to 22 March 2013. More than 100 high level delegates, representing WCO Members and observers from international organizations and the private sector, gathered to discuss strategic and technical Customs matters.
To commemorate the occasion, this longest standing WCO Committee held a panel discussion about its work and accomplishments over the past 60 years, and more importantly, about its future role in a rapidly changing world, including an increasingly complex trade and passenger environment.
