Authorised Economic Operator – AEO
After the terrorist attacks in New York and Madrid, major countries in the world started to debate on how to enhance the safety and security in international trade without disrupting the trade flows themselves. The European system of AEO certificates allows the identification of “safe” operators that apply strict safety and security control measures and, in exchange, will be granted favorable treatment at the borders. There will be three different sorts of AEO certificates. Some of the benefits will apply to all of them, some only to one or two.

ECG Operations Quality Manual
Preface
This Quality Manual has been developed to provide ECG members with guidelines to guarantee customers services of the highest quality throughout Europe, resulting in higher efficiency, the avoidance of damage and safer working practices for our staff.
Changing views on quality issues leading to quality improvements will require this manual to be updated. We would welcome initiatives from both our customers and members to share with us any changing views and innovative ideas which could lead to the improvement of this manual.
As legal regulations, liabilities and customer requirements in European countries are not always the same, some of our instructions will have to be adapted to meet these national laws. Therefore our instructions may not be used if they contradict existing customer requirements, legal regulations and liabilities.
