Community customs code: treatments, controls and risk-related informations (amend. Regulation (EC) No 2913/92)

2003/0167(COD)

PURPOSE: to amend the Community Customs Code in order to simplify administration and strengthen security at its external borders.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation 648/2005/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

CONTENT: This Regulation amends the Community Customs Code in order to establish an equivalent level of controls for goods entering and leaving the Community by introducing a system of pre-arrival and pre-departure declarations and by using an improved system of data communication and information sharing between Member States.

The Regulation, which modifies Regulation 2913/92, endeavours to establish a balance between the aim of strengthening security by better-targeted border controls and limiting the additional administrative burden for economic operators created by the obligation to deliver advance information to enable such controls.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 11/05/2005.
