COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2026/47
of 10 December 2025
amending Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amending Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704 as regards the statistical information to be provided by tax and customs authorities
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on European business statistics, repealing 10 legal acts in the field of business statistics (1), and in particular Article 5(2) and (3) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 specify the statistical information on exports and imports of goods that the tax and customs authorities in each Member State are to provide to the competent national statistical authorities (NSAs). These are further specified in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704 (2). |
|
(2) |
To ensure that the obligation on tax authorities to provide information to NSAs for statistical purposes contains information on extra-Union distance sales of imported goods and intra-Union transfers of own goods, it is necessary to amend Annex V to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152. |
|
(3) |
Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 (3) lays down the general arrangements for excise duty. These include the procedures to be followed for movements of excise goods under suspension of excise duty or movements of excise goods which have been released for consumption. It is necessary to amend Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 to ensure that NSAs can receive information from their tax authorities and customs authorities on movements of excise goods, when those authorities are the competent authority referred to in Article 3(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 (4) on administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties. |
|
(4) |
The common data requirements for customs declarations are set out in Annex B to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 (5). For the production of European statistics on international trade in goods, a subset of data elements from customs declarations must be provided by customs authorities in each Member State to the competent NSAs. To specify this subset of data elements, it is necessary to amend Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704. |
|
(5) |
Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Amendment to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152
Annexes V and VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 are replaced by the text in Annex I to this Regulation.
Article 2
Amendment to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/1704 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
Article 4 is replaced by the following: ‘Article 4 Information relating to customs declarations The information referred to in point (c) of Annex VI to Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 shall include any information required by the NSA for the production of European statistics on international trade in goods and shall include at least the data elements, including their sub-elements, set out in Annex I to this Regulation.’ |
|
(2) |
Annex I is replaced by the text in Annex II to this Regulation. |
Article 3
