摘要

Everything seemed to be running so smoothly. There was political and economic integration. There was trade. No customs duties or tariffs. Lorries weren't stuck at customs. Travel was effortless - no passport required. In many places, you didn't even need to change currency. It was bliss, says Russell Patten, UEIL secretary general and chief execu- tive of Grayling Brussels, the organization that runs the secretariat of the Union of the European Lubricants Industry or UEIL since August 2017.
