Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs
English term or phrase: to open the floor to trade
Contexte: compte rendu d'une réunion du groupe de politique douanière (UE). Consultation with traders (opérateurs économiques). The Commission underlined the importance of an open communication with trade and encouraged Member States to develop transparent communication channels. Some Member States, however, drew attention to the fact that some issues should be discussed firstly between the Commission and Customs Administrations before opening the floor to trade. (trade dans le sens de "traders"...). J'ai trouvé "to take the floor": prendre la parole...peut-être entamer des discussions avec les opérateurs économiques?
