(23a) Data gathered by relevant customs authorities and the Commission through the national single window environments for customs and EUCSW-CERTEX represents an extraordinary source of information that can contribute to improving efficiency and collaboration between the different authorities, the internal market and to the development of new applications and equipment utilised by legal entities. Intelligent and safe usage of such data by trusted partners, including its processing through artificial intelligence, can have a positive cascading effect on all connected sectors of the economy.

(23b) Taking into account the amount and importance of data processed in the single window infrastructure, increased digitisation and connectivity of the customs systems increase cybersecurity vulnerability, thus exposing the entire system to the risk of being paralysed after a successful cyberattack. In order to mitigate those risks, all necessary actions need to be taken to establish a cyber- secure environment for EU CSW- CERTEX, so that the network and information systems, communications networks, services and devices used by the custom authorities are better protected from cyber threats and cyberattacks, which could disrupt the provision of essential services by custom authorities across the Union.

(26) The Commission should regularly monitor the functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs to evaluate the performance of EU CSW- CERTEX and to ensure the efficient enforcement of Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. The Commission should submit regular assessment reports on the functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs to the European Parliament and to the Council. Those reports should take stock of progress, identify areas for improvement and propose recommendations for the future in light of progress made towards an improved digital collaboration between customs and partner competent authorities involved in goods clearance to ensure simplified processes for economic operators and the efficient enforcement of Union non-customs formalities. The Commission should also regularly monitor the need to update the list of Union non-customs formalities and Union non-customs systems to ensure a comprehensive coverage of all areas linked to the fields covered by this Regulation. The Commission should submit regular reports on the results of this monitoring, including the review of the legislative developments, to the European Parliament and to the Council.
