Implications of Information and Communication Technologies on Trade Facilitation in European Countries
Dragutinović Mitrović, Radmila
Abstract Digital trade facilitation (TF) is related to the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to automate and simplify international trade procedures. The analysis of Digital TF measures, particularly Paperless trade and Cross-border paperless trade measures is in the focus of this paper. The former refers to the implementation level of ICTs in trade formalities (e.g. customs automation or availability of internet connection at border-crossings), while the later is related to regulations for electronic transactions, implementation of systems for exchange of documents across borders and electronic trade-related data. To analyze them, data on digital TF measures as a part of broader set of TF indicators, contained in the latest edition of UN Global Survey on Digital and Sustainable Trade Facilitation, are used. The implementation of digital TF measures, accelerated by COVID19 pandemic, helped contactless trade processes in new conditions. Accordingly, the paper aims to investigate the progress of Digital TF measures implementation in European countries in period 2017-2023 along with ICTs progress and as a response to the crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic.
