The World Customs Organization, established in 1952 as the Customs Co-operation Council, is an independent intergovernmental body with world-wide membership whose mission is to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Customs administrations ... In 1994, the Council adopted the informal working name "World Customs Organization" (WCO) for the Customs Co-operation Council, in order to give a clearer indication of the nature and world-wide status of the Organization. The WCO has two official languages, English and French. However, Spanish is also used for Customs Valuation matters arising from the GATT/WTO Valuation Code. Spanish and Russian are used for the Customs Convention on Containers, 1972. Recently, Spanish was introduced as official language of the technical Committee of Rules of Origin.
