4. In this context we use the term 'export' to refer to commercial shipments to another country, and not necessarily to shipments to a country outside the EU.
5. In the text we will refer to the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration as Dutch Customs in short, however we take both Customs and Taxation issues in account during the analysis

11. It is important to point out that although the technology can act as enabler, specifying the rules for the routing of the data requests and access rights to data has to be decided by the experts from the companies.
12. In the BeerLL the public key cryptography was replaced by a simpler solution; namely, a virtual private network based on a proprietary data network from IBM.

16. For example, for cross-border VAT reporting quarterly listings have to be prepared, based on the individual shipment data. Because individual shipments often have their actual shipment date in one quarter, whereas the payment is done in the next quarter, there are often mismatches in the quarterly listings. It requires a lot of manual labor to resolve these mismatches.
17. The BeerLL was the first of the living labs and the cost-benefit issues were identified, namely, using qualitative methods such as interviews. A detailed description of perceived benefits, issues and areas for improvement can be found in the Beer Living Lab Final Report, available on-line at: http://www.itaide.org/Projects/434/ITAIDE%20deliverables/D515BLLFinalReport.pdf, last visited: 26 February, 2010.

19. In the BeerLL, TREC was used to demonstrate the potential functionalities of very sophisticated smart container seals and the possibilities that it can bring in the context of cross-border trade. TREC is not further developed as a commercial product by IBM; therefore, this figure needs to be seen only as an estimate, and it is not expected that a wide scale usage of TREC as a product will take place in order to validate this estimate.

21. In the context of the BeerLL, we treat the concept of a Single Window in a narrow sense, where we demonstrate how a trader can make information available to the government of one Member State (i.e., the Netherlands) and we do not further investigate how the governments of the different member states collaborate and share that information. Further, in the BeerLL the information is not actively submitted, but it is made available and the authorities are granted authorized access to that information.
