Future (as of 2007)
With the introduction of the Pan Euro Med Free Trade Area, which is partially in place, the EUR.1 certificate will be replaced by the EUR-MED certificate for countries that are part of this Free Trade Area. This process is however as of May 2007 not complete.
Furthermore, the European Commission has presented a draft in which certificates will be replaced by declarations of origin instead. These declarations will not have to be stamped by the competent authority and can also be submitted electronically to the importer.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
