EU Customs Union

 Commercial ǀ 1.30 min ǀ 2008 ǀ European Customs Union ǀ Production Cine Plus ǀ Director Oliver Päßler | Camera Rainer Hoffmann | Editing Thomas Wedekind | Concept Thorsten Schwarz

The 40th anniversary of the European Customs Union is the origin of a little story about a boy whose greatest wish was to become a customs officer. Customs control is presented in an entertaining way, without resorting to dialogue or a speaker.

Besides a documentary presents in a comprehensive way some striking examples of the central areas of EU customs control: the fight against product piracy, designer drugs or food control. I work with a panel of protagonists at the customs in Hamburg, Helsinki, Stettin and Valetta on Malta.
