(4) Trade facilitation, and safety and security, concern all authorities involved in the goods clearance process across Union borders. The rapid rise in international trade and e-commerce has increased the need for better cooperation and coordination among those authorities. The ongoing process of digitalisation allows this situation to be addressed more efficiently by connecting the systems of customs and partner competent authorities and enabling a systematic automated exchange of information between them. As such, the current framework of regulatory compliance is insufficient to support an effective interaction between customs and partner competent authorities, whose systems and procedures are characterised by fragmentation and redundancy. In order to adapt to these new challenges, customs offices across the Union need the means to review their territorial network, especially in view of storage places of goods traded by e-commerce. A fully coordinated and efficient goods clearance process requires a streamlined Union regulatory environment for international trade that delivers long-term benefits to the Union and its residents in all policy areas.

Recital 7
(7) The exchanges of digital information through EU CSW-CERTEX should cover Union non-customs formalities laid down in Union legislation that customs authorities are entrusted to enforce. Those formalities impose different obligations for the import, export or transit of certain goods, and their verification through customs controls is fundamentally important to the effective functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs. EU CSW-CERTEX should cover digitalised regulatory formalities laid down in Union legislation and managed by partner competent authorities in electronic Union non-customs systems, storing the relevant information from all Member States required for goods clearance. It is therefore appropriate to identify the Union non-customs formalities which should be subject to digital cooperation through EU CSW-CERTEX, while in the long term all non-customs systems should be included. In particular, EU CSW- CERTEX should initially cover sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, rules regulating the import of organic products, environmental requirements in relation to fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances, and formalities related to the import of cultural goods, rules related to product safety, rules related to Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade and rules related to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.

Amendment 59 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
(10) Any processing of personal data in EU CSW-CERTEX should facilitate information sharing between the national environments for customs and Union non- customs systems without any storing of data fully respecting Regulation (EU) 2016/679. It should also transform data, where necessary, to enable information exchange between both digital domains. The information technology facilities used for data transformation should be located in the Union.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
(13) The increased digitalisation of customs and Union non-customs regulatory formalities applicable to international trade has opened up new opportunities for Member States to improve the digital cooperation between customs and partner competent authorities. In pursuit of those priorities, several Member States have started to develop frameworks for national single window environments for customs. Those initiatives differ substantially depending on the level of existing customs information technology architecture, priorities and cost structures. It is therefore necessary to require Member States to establish and operate national single window environments for customs for Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. Those environments should constitute the national components of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs, enabling electronic information sharing and collaboration between customs, partner competent authorities and economic operators to ensure compliance with and efficient enforcement of customs legislation and Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. In line with this objective, the national single window environments for customs should enable the automated verification by customs authorities of formalities in respect of which data is transmitted from the respective Union non-customs system through EU CSW-CERTEX. The national single window environments for customs should also allow partner competent authorities to monitor and control the quantities of authorised goods (‘quantity management’) that have been released by customs through the Union. Therefore, the relevant IT systems should be designed in a cyber-resilient way, allowing interoperability in real time. This should be ensured by providing the necessary clearance information to the Union non- customs systems through EU CSW- CERTEX. In practical terms, quantity management at Union level is necessary to enable a better enforcement of non- customs regulatory formalities by automatically and consistently monitoring the consumption of authorised quantities for the release of goods, avoiding their overuse or mishandling.

Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) The lack of sufficient staff on the spot and in customs offices in general endangers the proper functioning of EU customs systems. While digital solutions can reduce the workflow, they require at the same time properly trained staff, thus, without the necessary investments into staff, digital solutions cannot achieve the benefits in view of efficiency and harmonisation. Therefore, Member States' investments into digital systems should guarantee sufficient funding for the staff required in order to guarantee that customs controls are conducted uniformly across the EU. New digital solutions and related restructuring should not be used as a pretext to lay off staff in the fragile environment of customs’ control and clearances across the EU.
