In the latest edition of WCO News, Gerassimos Thomas, Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union, explains the European Union’s (EU) landmark Customs Reform adopted in March 2026 that reinvents EU Customs for the 21st century. It introduces a data-driven, digital, centralised system to simplify procedures, enhance risk management, and launches concrete measures that tackle the challenges created by the growth of e-commerce.

While the reform is tailored to EU specific challenges, the underlying principles have global relevance. For the WCO’s 187 members, the EU’s experience offers valuable lessons about how to modernise Customs in the digital age.

Dans le dernier numéro d'OMD Actu, Gerassimos Thomas, directeur général de la fiscalité et de l’union douanière, présente la réforme douanière historique que l’Union européenne a adoptée en mars 2026 et qui réinvente les douanes de l’UE pour le XXIe siècle. Elle introduit un système centralisé, numérique et axé sur les données afin de simplifier les procédures et d’améliorer la gestion des risques, et lance des mesures concrètes pour relever les défis posés par la croissance du commerce électronique.

Si la réforme est adaptée aux défis spécifiques de l’Union, les principes sous-jacents ont une portée mondiale. Pour les 187 membres de l’OMD, l’expérience européenne offre des enseignements précieux sur la manière de moderniser les douanes à l’ère numérique.

Congratulations Constable McNab we look forward to working with you and your team.

Constable MacNab has successfully completed the NPCC Police Dog Instructors Course (Narcotics, Cash and Fi****ms Detection) at the West Midlands Police Dog Training Centre in the United Kingdom.

This specialist instructor course provided advanced training in the development, deployment and management of police detection dogs, focusing on instructor level competencies such as canine behaviour, scent detection principles, training methodologies, operational standards and assessment procedures.

Having successfully completed the programme, Constable MacNab is now qualified to train, assess and develop police detection dog teams to nationally recognised standards, further enhancing the operational capabilities of the Bermuda Police Service.

This achievement is especially significant as Constable MacNab becomes the first female Police Dog Instructor within the Bermuda Police Service. Her dedication, professionalism and commitment to excellence continue to break barriers and set an inspiring example for others.

Please join us in congratulating Constable MacNab on this outstanding accomplishment and wishing her continued success as she applies her newly acquired skills in support of public safety across Bermuda.

The Customs Department is proud to join our partner, the Bermuda Financial Intelligence Agency (FIA), in celebrating the inaugural International FIU Day June 9, 2026.
Together, we reaffirm our shared commitment to safeguarding Bermuda’s financial system and strengthening the global fight against financial crime.
