Hamdan bin Mohammed launches the authorized economic operator

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, officially launched the authorized economic operator (AEO) during day one of GITEX Technology 2016. AEO is a UAE-wide federal program which will connect the country both commercial and customs wise with the world's countries. The companies inside the country will be able to get privileges and facilities in the countries with which dual recognition agreements will be signed, and hence have a competitive edge in penetration to external markets without obstacles.
