On the second day opening of the ’IX AEO International Seminar – Coordinated Border Management, the Integrated AEO Program, and e-Commerce Operations’ in São Paulo, I did a Key Note Lecture about ’Global Trade 2.0 – AEO, Digitalization and new Trusted Trade Lanes for (e)Commerce’.

On stage

I had great feedback & response from the audience.

Thank you for inviting me, Iwill be back for the 10th year celebrating this event and AEO Brazil next year.

1.3 tons of cocaine have been seized in the port of Helsingborg in Southern Sweden since September last year.

This is stated by the Swedish Customs Service at a press conference today.

The seizures that are “completely unprecedented in Swedish criminal history”, according to Magnus Pettersson, prosecutor at the National Unit against International and Organized Crime.

In recent years, the port of Helsingborg has consolidated its position as the major gateway to narcotics in Sweden.

In April, a record-breaking seizure of 460 kilos was made, and in May customs confiscated another 450 kilos of cocaine.

These are seizures that strengthen the image that the port has become a gateway for cocaine, not only to Sweden but also the rest of Europe.

This is amazing work done by my former colleagues, based on advanced working methods. Congrats. It is also a deeply worrying trend.

The ’IX AEO International Seminar – Coordinated Border Management, the Integrated AEO Program, and e-Commerce Operations’, has started in São Paulo Brazil with a crowded full house with 450 participants from more than 20 countries.

I participated in the opening ceremony of the event & in the first panel on ’Regional Mutual Recognition Agreements for AEO’.

We have at our Maersk stand had a lot of contacts & positive discussions with both Private Sector & Government agency customers.

This is a great event organized by John Mein, Instituto Procomex & Receita Federal.

This is the best AEO event in the world.

It is always a pleasure to be back in Brazil, people remember me from 2014-2018 when I was supporting Brazil designing, building and implementkng the AEO Brazil programme.
