The institution of the authorised economic operator – facilitating economic activity and minimizing the risk of compromising the security of the trade flow in goods in the international trade

Summary/Abstract: The scale of the international trade, as well as the existing economic and technological conditions, cause economic operators to expect solutions aimed at facilitating as well as increasing security of the flow of goods in the international trade. Reaching a compromise between the number of solutions aimed at reducing barriers and administrative workload and the necessity of having effective customs control, which directly affects the security of trade, is a task of great difficulty but also, as evidenced by the business practice, a task possible to complete. The aim of the paper is to characterise the institution of the Authorized Economic Operator and assess its influence on the facilitation, as well as security and safety of economic activity in the international trade. With this regard, the methods of descriptive and comparative analysis have been employed. The performed analysis allowed for drawing a conclusion that the Authorised Economic Operator Programme is a proof that reduction of barriers and implementation of innovative solutions improving economic activity allow for increased security of the flow of goods in the international trade.
