(9) In order to enable the functioning of the EMSWe, it is necessary to establish a comprehensive EMSWe data set which should cover all information elements that might be requested by national authorities or port operators for administrative or operational purposes, when a ship makes a port call. Since the scope of reporting obligations varies from one Member State to another, a National Single Window in a given Member State should be designed to accept the EMSWe data set without any modification, and disregard any information not relevant for that Member State. As the aim of this Regulation is the harmonization of data requirements, the Commission should define the data set in details and participate in the IMO independent data reference model.

(2 a) "The EU Level Access Point Interface (EU-API)" is a voluntary reporting interface for declarants, for routing system-to-system data to National Single Windows. It facilitates, through the EU deployed reporting interface, two-way information exchanges between the data providers and the national level data recipients who access it via their National Single Windows. The Commission and Member States shall be responsible for ensuring the connection between the EU- API and the National Single Windows and re-evaluate the establishment of an EU-API after 6 years in case the adopted Regulation does not include the EU-API.
