Overregulation: how do we cope with it?
06-03-2025

The recent cover of the weekly The Economist issue had a picture of red tape and the title “The revolt against regulation”. Some statistics from the articles on the topic: in the US, federal regulations now exceed 180,000 pages, up from 20,000 in the early 1960s; in the past five years the European Parliament has enacted more than twice as many laws as America; red tape costs the French economy close to 4% of GDP every year. In this interview with Vincent van Dijk, Senior Advisor on Norm engineering and rule-based solutions, we invite consideration of ‘norm engineering’ as one of potential solutions of the growing problem, which we, customs practitioners, are also witnessing in our specific field.

Something fishy here: which is the competent jurisdiction concerning damaged imported goods?
04-03-2025

A food consignment arrived in Israel and was found to be damaged due to a lack of refrigeration. The importer uses the foreign forwarder who transported from abroad to Israel. Will the court uphold the claim or will it decide that the claim should be adjudicated outside Israel? This will be discussed in this review in light of the court's recent decision.
