USA udskyder container scanninger

Den amerikanske regering har besluttet at udskyde det meget omdiskuterede krav om, at samtlige containere der ankommer til USA, skal være scannede på forhånd. Den planlagte start - juli 2012 - udskydes nu med to år.

Den officielle begrundelse er, at ikke alle udenlandske havne kan nå at være klar til den oprindeligt planlagte start. Men uofficielt tales der om, at udsættelsen måske er et første skridt i retning af, alligevel ikke at indføre den omfattende og meget ressourcekrævende kontrol.

Ordningen har været stærkt kritiseret fra mange sider, bl.a. for at være forklædt protektionisme.

Mens andre, bl.a. EU, har slået på, at ordningen pålægger de amerikanske handelspartnere store ekstraomkostninger.

EU har gennemført et forsøgsprojekt i Southamptons containerterminaler, for at undersøge de reelle omkostninger ved at opfylde de amerikanske krav. Over 90.000 containere blev kontrolleret i løbet af en periode på seks måneder. Udgifterne blev på over 500 dollar per container, eksklusive indirekte omkostninger, som f.eks. ventetider.
