(12) Simplifications of customs clearance schemes have led to the non-availability, at customs level, of statistical information about goods under customs processing procedures. To assure coverage of the data, movements of those goods should be included in the Intrastat system. Information should follow the principle of "single flow reporting", thus in so far as the quality of the data can be guaranteed the data should only be collected by the exporting companies.

(14) The definition of statistical value should be clarified and aligned with the definition of this data element under the extra-EU trade statistics. Uniform definitions are essential for well- functioning and frictionless cross-border trade and they are especially important as a prerequisite for different national authorities to be able to make concordant interpretations of rules having an impact on cross-border activities of businesses.
