The Regional Policy Committee of the European Parliament is considering a report on the effect of abolishing internal borders in the EC from 1 January 1993. The report says that one of the sectors most at risk is customs officers with an estimated 62,000 jobs likely to disappear; 15,200 in France 3,300 in the UK and 1,100 in Ireland. The European Commission has put forward a budget of 30 million ECU (£1 - 75 ECUs approx.) to retrain customs workers.
