Official Journal L 065 , 12/03/1999 P. 0050 - 0099
DECISION No 1/99 OF THE EC/EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON TRANSIT of 12 February 1999 amending Appendices I, II and III to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1999/182/EC) THE JOINT COMMITTEE, Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and in particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof, Whereas difficulties during the recent years throughout the transit procedure have caused, and continue to cause, significant losses for the budgets of the Contracting Parties and represent a permanent threat to the European trade and economic operators; Whereas modernisation of transit procedures is therefore considered to be necessary and their computerisation represents a significant element in this modernisation; Whereas the introduction of new computerised procedures based on the use of modern information technology and electronic data interchange (EDI) requires the adaptation of legal provisions to answer the procedural, technical, security-linked and legal certainty needs; Whereas the exchange of information between the competent authorities will be more secure and the information more reliable in so far as it will no longer be carried by the economic operators; Whereas authorised economic operators will enjoy the possibility presenting the transit declarations using a data-processing technique; Whereas the implementation and monitoring of security measures is of vital importance to achieve and maintain a reliable and secure operation of transit; Whereas the implementation of a new computerised transit system in different functional phases requires a legal framework to be established according to the development, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Article 1 Appendix I to the Convention is amended as follows: 1. The following points (k) and (l) are inserted in Article 2 first subparagraph: '(k) "release of goods" means the act whereby the competent authorities make goods available for a common transit operation; (l) "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural or legal person`. 2. Article 10(4) is replaced by the following: '4. The T1 declaration shall be signed by the principal and produced at the office of departure in the number of copies required by the competent authorities`. 3. The following Article 10a is inserted: 'Article 10a 1. Under the conditions and in the manner which they shall determine, and with due regard to the principles laid down by customs rules, the competent authorities may provide that formalities shall be carried out by a data-processing technique. For this purpose: - "data-processing technique" means: (a) the exchange of EDI standard messages with the competent authorities; (b) the introduction of information required for completion of the formalities concerned into the data-processing systems of the competent authorities, - "EDI" (electronic data interchange) means, the transmission of data structured according to agreed message standards, between one computer system and another, by electronic means, - "standard message" means a predefined structure recognised for the electronic transmission of data. 2. Under the conditions and in the manner which they shall determine, and with due regard to the principles laid down by customs rules, the competent authorities may allow the declaration or some of the particulars thereof to be lodged using discs or magnetic tapes, or by the exchanging of information by similar means, where appropriate in coded form`. 4. Article 15(1) is replaced by the following: '1. The goods shall be transported together with the T1 document issued by the office of departure. Where authorised the document may be printed from the principal's computer system`. 5. The following Articles 15a to 15d are inserted: 'Article 15a 1.

ANNEX A 'ANNEX VIIa EXPLANATORY NOTE CONCERNING THE MESSAGES PRESENTED IN ANNEX VII AND RULES AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE MESSAGE DATA TITLE I Introduction This Title describes the structure of the IE (information exchange), i.e. the model used to describe the content of the information to be exchanged between the competent authorities and between economic operators and the competent authorities using information technology and computer networks. In this model, IEs are organised into data groups which contain data (attributes). The data (attributes) are grouped together in such a way that they build up coherent logical blocks within the scope of each IE. The model allows to identify: - the characteristics of the data groups belonging to the IE: sequence, number of repetitions, a status value to indicate if the data group is mandatory, optional or conditional, - the characteristics of the data belonging to a data group: sequence, number of repetitions, type, length and a value to indicate if the data is mandatory, optional or conditional, - data group indentation indicates that the data group may contain not only data but also other groups of data, - the conditions applicable to data or groups of data towards other data or groups of data in the same IE, - the structure rules applicable to data or groups of data, explaining how the data or data group in question is used in the IE. >TABLE> >START OF GRAPHIC> E>END OF GRAPHIC> RULES FOR IE r11: When there is only 1 consignee declared, the data group "TRADER consignee (box 8)" on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group "TRADER consignee (ex box 8)" on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used Explanation The IE model is divided into five parts: >START OF GRAPHIC> A>END OF GRAPHIC> The identification part, each IE is identified by: - a unique number that consists of the two characters "IE" followed by a maximum of 3 digits>START OF GRAPHIC> a>END OF GRAPHIC> , - a name>START OF GRAPHIC> b>END OF GRAPHIC> , - a unique reference>START OF GRAPHIC> c>END OF GRAPHIC> in a one-to-one relationship with the unique number of the IE; each IE is prefixed with "E_" (external domain), "C_" (common domain) or "N_" (internal). >START OF GRAPHIC> B>END OF GRAPHIC> The structure part provides the following: - the sequence of the data groups in the IE, - a data group name>START OF GRAPHIC> a>END OF GRAPHIC> , - a number followed by the character "x">START OF GRAPHIC> b>END OF GRAPHIC> indicating how many times the data group may be repeated in the IE, - a value>START OF GRAPHIC> c>END OF GRAPHIC> indicating whether the data group is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, - when relevant, a "box number">START OF GRAPHIC> d>END OF GRAPHIC> representing the number of the box on the SAD, - reference to the condition and/or rule>START OF GRAPHIC> e>END OF GRAPHIC> applicable to the data, - data group indentation >START OF GRAPHIC> f>END OF GRAPHIC> indicates that the data group depends on lower indent data group. >START OF GRAPHIC> C>END OF GRAPHIC> The "data group" detail part provides for each data (attribute) the following: - the sequence of the data within the data group, - a data group name>START OF GRAPHIC> a>END OF GRAPHIC> , the same as in the structure part, - the attribute name>START OF GRAPHIC> b>END OF GRAPHIC> within the data group, - a value>START OF GRAPHIC> c>END OF GRAPHIC> indicating whether the data is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, - the data type>START OF GRAPHIC> d>END OF GRAPHIC> : (a)lphabetic and/or (n)umeric, - the data length>START OF GRAPHIC> e>END OF GRAPHIC> (the optional two dots before the length indicator mean that the data has no fixed length, but it can have up to a number of digits, as specified by the length indicator); it must be noted that the data type/data length of fields representing a date is always "n8" in order to be year 2000 compliant (e.g. 19980220); also, a comma in the data length (e.g. 8,6) means that the attribute can hold decimals, the digit before the comma indicates the total length of the attribute, the digit after the comma indicates the maximum number of digits after the decimal point, - when relevant, a "box number">START OF GRAPHIC> f>END OF GRAPHIC> representing the number of the box on the SAD, - a reference>START OF GRAPHIC> g>END OF GRAPHIC> to the condition "Cond" and/or to the "Rule" applicable to the data. >START OF GRAPHIC> D>END OF GRAPHIC> The "Condition" part: lists all conditions applicable to the data or data group towards other data or data group included in the IE. A condition expresses the dependency of an attribute or data group on the content of another attribute or data group within the same IE. The attribute or data group in question can, due to the condition, be rendered (R)equired, (O)ptional or even "not be used" within the IE. >START OF GRAPHIC> E>END OF GRAPHIC> The "Rule" part: lists all rules applicable to the data or data group, explaining how the data or how the data group in question is used in the IE.
