Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1253

of 29 July 2016

amending Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 as regards the data exchange between customs authorities and national statistical authorities and the compilation of statistics

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 of the European Parliament and the Council of 6 May 2009 on Community statistics relating to the external trade with non-member countries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95(1), and in particular Articles 6(1) and 7(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 establishes a common framework for the systematic production of European statistics relating to the trading of goods with non-member countries. The main data source for those statistics is data obtained from customs declarations. That Regulation was set up to take account of specific and new customs clearance simplifications to become implemented under Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) (‘the Modernised Customs Code’). This concerned especially ‘self-assessment’ which was to include a waiver to provide a declaration to customs and the scheme of Centralised Clearance where customs import or export formalities could be fulfilled in more than one Member State.

(2) Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) (‘the Union Customs Code’) repealed the Modernised Customs Code and replaced from 1 May 2016 the customs provisions provided by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92(4)

(3) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578(5) lays down the work programme referred to in Article 280 of the Union Customs Code and relates to the electronic customs systems which are to be developed under it.

(4) Until those electronic systems become available, Commission Delegated Regulation (EC) No 2016/341(6) (‘the Transitional Delegated Act’) provides for transitional measures for the exchange and storage of information between the customs authorities themselves and between the customs authorities and the economic operators

(5) Regulation (EC) No 471/2009 was implemented by Commission Regulation (EU) No 92/2010(7).

(6) It is necessary to adapt Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 to provisions of the Union Customs Code with regard to the specific procedures for data exchange between customs authorities and national statistical authorities, especially with the respect to the customs simplification referred to as centralised clearance provided for in Article 179 of the Union Customs Code.

(7) The agreement of customs authorities on a simplification for drawing up the customs declarations for goods falling under different tariff subheadings, should be reflected in the compiled statistics.

(8) To obtain information on economically relevant movements between Member States following the customs clearance, on imports or preceding it, on exports, measures should be taken aiming at identifying the concerned Member States for trade statistics purposes.

(9) Amendments requiring an adjustment of the data transmission from Member States to the Commission (Eurostat) should only become applicable to the monthly reference periods, starting with reference month January 2017.

(10) Regulation (EU) No 92/2010 should be amended accordingly.

(11) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on statistics relating to the trading of goods with non-member countries,
