Guidelines, Reports, Research and Analysis
It has long been recognised in Ireland that excessive red-tape places a large burden on our enterprise sector, particularly small and medium sized enterprises. However we have not yet taken full advantage of e-commerce to provide concrete solutions for these problems.
Companies engaged in international trade still have to prepare and submit large volumes of paper based documentation to comply with import, export and transit-related requirements. This information and documentation often has to be submitted through several different agencies and companies, each with their own specific systems and paper forms. In this document Forfás, in conjunction with Trade Facilitation Ireland, outline the potential for a Single Window solution to remove away much of this administrative burden in the area of trade, and set out the next steps that are needed to make this vision a reality.
