AMERICA
The

a
series
of
short
courses
on
new
customs
procedures,
which
were
held
at
the
border
posts
of
the
Central
American
countries.
Their
aim
was
to
ensure
that
the
procedures
and
agreements
made
within
the
context
of
Central
American
integration
and
the
common
market
program-
me
adopted

toms

been
received
and
understood
by
the
officials
responsible
for
applying
them.
More
than
a
hundred
customs
officials
took
part
in
this
imaginative
and
apparently
suc-

was
largely
due

Manuel
Guevara
