DECISION No 1/2022 OF THE EU-CTC JOINT COMMITTEE
of 25 August 2022
as regards amending the data element requirements for transit declarations and rules on administrative assistance in Appendices I, IIIa and IV to the Convention on a common transit procedure [2022/1669]
THE EU-CTC JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure, and in particular Article 15(3), point (a), thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Pursuant to Article 15(3), point (a), of the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (the ‘Convention’) (1), the Joint Committee established by that Convention is to adopt, by decision, amendments to the Appendices to the Convention. |
|
(2) |
Annex B to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 (2) has been amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/234 (3). That Annex lays down the data element requirements for the transit declaration to better harmonise the common data elements for the exchange and storage of information between customs authorities as well as between customs authorities and economic operators. Such horizontal harmonisation was necessary to ensure inter-operability between the customs electronic systems used for the different types of declarations and notifications. Annex B6a to Appendix IIIa to the Convention mirrors Annex B to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 and should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(3) |
Annex B to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (4) has been amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/235 (5). That Annex lays down the formats and codes of the common data elements for the transit declaration, in order to better harmonise the formats and codes of the common data elements for the storage of information and for its exchange between customs authorities, as well as between customs authorities and economic operators. The formats and codes of the common data elements needed to be harmonised to ensure that the electronic customs systems used for the various types of declarations and notifications are inter-operable once the common data requirements have been harmonised. Annex A1a to Appendix IIIa to the Convention mirrors Annex B to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 and should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(4) |
In order to improve the readability of the data elements requirements for transit declarations, the respective formats and codes, Annex A1a and Annex B6a to Appendix IIIa to the Convention should be merged into one single Annex A1a. |
|
(5) |
In Appendix I to the Convention, the references to Appendix III should be corrected and replaced by Appendix IIIa in the case of provisions applicable as of the deployment of the upgrading of the New Computerised Transit System referred to in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578 (6). |
|
(6) |
The rules on mutual assistance for the recovery of claims as set out in Appendix IV to the Convention have been in place for a relatively long time and not been changed. Those rules are important as they safeguard the financial interests of the common transit countries, the Union and the Member States . Those rules should be revised in order to align them with the respective Union rules. |
|
(7) |
The Convention should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION

(2) Appendix IIIa to the Convention is amended as set out in Annex B to this Decision.

Done at Brussels on 25 August 2022,
