PURPOSE: to establish the customs programme for\ncooperation in the field of customs for the period\n2021-2027.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament\nand of the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European\nParliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative\nprocedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: the customs\n2020 programme and its predecessors have significantly\ncontributed to facilitating and enhancing customs cooperation. Many\nof the activities in the customs area are of a cross-border nature,\ninvolving and affecting all Member States, and therefore they\ncannot be effectively and efficiently delivered by individual\nMember States.
\nSince 2016, the Union\nCustoms Code is the new legal customs framework. The Code\ntriggered a massive digitalisation project with 17 different\nelectronic systems to be fully in place by 2020. Some systems will\nbe deployed gradually up to 2025. These electronic systems touch\nupon all customs procedures.
\nThe upcoming withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the\nEU implies disentangling the United Kingdom as a Member State from\nall existing customs electronic systems financed by customs 2020.\nThese implications and costs however cannot be precisely estimated\nat this stage.
\nThe implementation of all these aspects can only be\nachieved through intense operational cooperation between customs\nadministrations of the Member States, between them and other\nauthorities, with trade and other third parties. It is therefore\nnecessary to ensure the continuity of the Unions\nfinancing of customs cooperation activities by establishing a\nnew cooperation programme in this area.
\nCONTENT: the proposal for a Regulation - presented for\na Union of 27 Member States - seeks to establish the customs\nprogramme for cooperation in the field of customs for the period\n2021-2027, which will succeed the customs 2020\nprogramme.
\nObjective: the general\nobjective of the proposed new programme is to support the customs\nunion and customs authorities to protect the financial and economic\ninterests of the Union and its Member States, to ensure security\nand safety within the Union and to protect the Union from unfair\nand illegal trade, while facilitating legitimate business\nactivity.
\nCustoms cooperation and capacity building shall focus,\non the one hand, on human networking and competency building\nactions and, on the other hand, IT capacity building\nactions.
\nLike the current Customs 2020 programme, the new\nprogramme shall be open to participation by Member States,\nacceding, candidate and potential candidate countries. It may\nprovide funding in any form provided for in the Financial\nRegulation, in particular grants, procurements and reimbursement of\nexpenses.
\nEligible actions: the\nprogramme shall cover expenses for preparation, monitoring,\ncontrol, audit, evaluation and other activities for managing the\nprogramme and evaluating the achievement of its\nobjectives.
\nIt shall also cover expenses relating to studies,\nmeetings of experts, information and communication actions, in so\nfar as they are related to the objectives of the programme, as well\nas expenses linked to information technology networks focusing on\ninformation processing and exchange, including corporate\ninformation technology tools and other technical and administrative\nassistance needed in connection with the management of the\nprogramme.
\nIT capacity: the\nproposal provides an improved framework and governance for the IT\ncapacity building actions carried out under the programme. An\nimproved definition of the European electronic systems common\ncomponents and national components reflecting\nbetter the reality of electronic systems and their features has\nbeen integrated. The tasks incumbent on the Commission on the one\nhand and the Member States on the other hand have been\nlisted.
\nLastly, a multi-annual strategic plan for\ncustoms, to be drawn up by the Commission, in partnership with\nthe Member States, shall allow for a better planning of budgetary\nand human resources both at national and EU level.
\nProposed budget: under\nthe proposed\nnew multiannual financial framework, the programme shall have an\noverall budget of EUR 950 million (in current prices) for the\nperiod 2021-2027. The vast majority\nof the proposed budget will be spent on IT capacity building\nactivities.
