Customs union Application of the customs rules Right of action Suspension of implementation Authorities competent to suspend implementation

(Council Regulation No 2913/92, Arts 243 and 244)

Summary

$$Article 244 of Regulation No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code is to be interpreted as meaning that it confers the power to suspend implementation of a contested decision exclusively on the customs authorities. However, that provision does not limit the power of the judicial authorities seised of a dispute pursuant to Article 243 of that Code to order such suspension in order to comply with their obligation to ensure the full effectiveness of Community law.
