We are already looking forward to the next meeting in Rotterdam and Antwerp. A lot of events and actions have taken place during this period. But as in life there were highlights on one side, but also bad news on the other. The highlife of this year was the official opening of the renovated Dutch customs and finance mu- seum. I had the pleasure and the honor to assist at this well organized event and I can only congratulate our dutch friends for the work, they did and the event itself. I will not go further in details, because you will be able to see by yourself a wonderful museum. I’m also looking forward to see the Belgian museum, moved to another place and reopened 2 years ago. So our next conference and general assembly will be very interesting for us customs people and I hope we will have a lot of fruitful discussions. In Austria, our friend Ferdinand Hampl has definitely pass over his museum to a colleague and the museum has moved to another place. I want to profit from the occasion and thank Ferdinand for his work and also his presence during all these years at the IACM activities.
