One of the great challenges for European governments is solvingthe paradox of increasing security in relation to international trade,while at the same time reducing the administrative overhead carriedby commercial as well as public administration organisationsinvolved in the business of trade.
Quoted in the proposal of ITAIDE, 2005
There is insufficient synchronisation between legislation, businessprocess redesign and IT developments.The lack of a single European identification mechanism andharmonisation of concepts uniform and structured informationexchange about and/or for traders between Member States hinders
Member States to make progress in redefining and/or redesigningtheir business and IT processes.
Quoted in the study Benchmarking Customs IT Architecture, 2005

Rapidly evolving border security requirements, changing needs foradvance information and an increasing number of business partnersinvolved in demanding flexible supply chains, the collection andtransfer of information related to processes, data and messages is acritical success factor.

Research for eCustom s The Ecosystem
Bear ing in mind t he example o f the ecosys tem o f t heFinnish Paper Indust ry ,
The key parameters to define an Ecosystem are the following:
Business and Governmental Partners interact
They provide different views on processes and information models
They have their individual industry specific approach
They still contribute to the core business of a Multi National Company (MNC)like UPM (United Paper Mill Finland) for example
focusing on a business-oriented interaction
still having different views on successful business relationshipsstill aiming for achievable results such as revenue, usability,profitability and efficiency
All required Business and Governmental Partners such as suppliers,
logistics service providers and shipping companies, customs and taxoffices and further enterprises such as SMEs are participating in theproject.
