BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)
(1) Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) provides an operational framework of single window services that provide for a seamless flow of data between economic operators and customs authorities, between customs authorities and the Commission, between customs authorities and other administrations or agencies, and between one customs system and another throughout the Union. That framework contains an automatic quantity management functionality via an exchange of information between the national single window environments for customs and the information management system for official controls set up and managed by the Commission in accordance with Article 131(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 (IMSOC). This exchange is carried out through the electronic European Union Customs Single Window Certificates Exchange System (EU CSW-CERTEX), established in Regulation (EU) 2022/2399.
(2) Article 56 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 establishes a Common Health Entry Document (CHED) to be completed by operators in accordance with that Regulation regarding the performance of official controls by the competent authorities of the Member States on animals and goods entering the Union in order to verify compliance with Union agri-food chain legislation.
(3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602 (3) establishes the cases where and the conditions under which the CHED is required to accompany to the place of destination each consignment of the categories of animals and goods subject to official controls at border control posts in accordance with Article 47(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 which is intended to be placed on the market.
(4) For the purposes of preventing the fraudulent reuse of the CHED, Articles 4(c), 5(1)(f) and 6(c) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602 require customs authorities to communicate to the IMSOC through EU CSW-CERTEX, the information on the quantity of the consignment stated in the customs declaration, so as to ensure that the quantities stated in such customs declaration are deducted from the total allowed quantity declared in the CHED. That obligation for quantity management applies in case the consignment is to be placed under the customs procedure of release for free circulation referred to in Article 201 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) or under the customs procedures of specific use or processing (comprising inward and outward processing) referred to in points (c) and (d) of Article 210 of that Regulation, respectively. It does not apply in case the consignment is to be placed under the customs procedures of transit or storage referred in points (a) and (b) of Article 210 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013, respectively.
(5) The application of quantity management at the stage of inward processing complexifies the handling of consignments by customs authorities. In particular, the placement of the consignment under subsequent customs procedures before the release for free circulation requires a manual quantity management to be carried out at the stage of each such procedure, as well as at the final stage of release for free circulation. To simplify the handling of consignments by customs authorities it is appropriate to remove the obligation for customs authorities to carry out quantity management at the stage of inward processing while this verification will continue to apply at the stage of release for free circulation to allow the automatic deduction of the quantities stated in the customs declaration from the total allowed quantity declared in the CHED. Furthermore, the customs procedure of outward processing does not apply to consignments intended to be placed on the Union market subject to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602. Therefore, the obligation to carry out quantity management at the stage of that procedure should be removed. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602 should be amended accordingly.
(6) The date of application of the obligation to carry out quantity management via IMSOC should be aligned with the date of application of the connection of the TRACES system, in respect of the CHED, with the EU CSW-CERTEX. Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 establishes that the said connection is to take place by 3 March 2025. Therefore, the obligation to communicate relevant information to the IMSOC established in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602 should be aligned to apply in each Member State from the date on which the connection of the TRACES with the EU CSW-CERTEX becomes operational in that Member State or at the latest from 3 March 2025.
(7) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1602 should be amended accordingly,
