Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, what steps she has taken to coordinate the introduction of the New Export Systems with comparable measures in the EU countries.
Answer

Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps she has taken to co-ordinate the introduction of the New Export System with comparable measures in the EU countries. [89134] John Healey: I have been asked to reply. Although regular liaison and exchange of information takes place with other member states on all international trade matters, there is no joint initiative to implement New Export System (NES) across the EU. However, several other member states have or will be implementing electronic export declarations and others have taken an active interest in the UK implementation of NES. NES is also fully compliant with EU regulations.
