(2) Under Regulation (EU) No 389/2012, Member States are required to maintain electronic registers of authorisations held by economic operators, and tax warehouses, that are engaged in the movement of excise goods. The information contained in those national registers is automatically exchanged via a central register operated by the European Commission which is also part of the computerised system. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 612/2013(4) lays down the technical details and the rules and procedures of the central register and of the national registers. (3) Directive (EU) 2020/262 extended the computerised system to include the movement of excise goods that are exported outside the Union and the movement of excise goods which have been released for consumption in the territory of one Member State and that are moved to the territory of another Member State in order to be delivered there for commercial purposes (‘duty paid movements’), and the central register of authorisations was duly modified to include economic operators performing duty paid movements. As a result, certain data elements of the computerised system have become obsolete or required a modification. It is therefore necessary to revise the computerised system to correct any inconsistencies that have been detected. (4) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 612/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly. (5) In order to allow the Member States adequate time to prepare for the amendments to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 612/2013 and to align the application date of this Regulation with the date on which the version of the computerised system provided for in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/50(5)becomes operational, this Regulation should apply from 12 February 2026.

The data elements of the electronic messages used for the purpose of the computerised system are structured in data groups and, where applicable, data subgroups. Details regarding the data elements and their use are presented in the tables of this Annex, in which: (a) column A provides the numeric code (number) attributed to each data group and data subgroup; each subgroup follows the sequence number of the data (sub)group of which it forms part (for example: where the data group number is 1, one data subgroup of this group is 1.1 and one data subgroup of this subgroup is 1.1.1); (b) column B provides the alphabetic code (letter) attributed to each data element in a data (sub)group; (c) column C identifies the data (sub)group or data element; (d) column D provides each data (sub)group or data element with a value indicating whether the insertion of the corresponding data is: (i) R’ (Required), meaning that the data must be provided. When a data (sub)group is ‘O’ (Optional) or ‘C’ (Conditional), data elements within that group can still be ‘R’ (Required) when the competent authorities of the Member State have decided that the data in this (sub)group must be completed or when the condition applies; (ii) ‘O’ (Optional), meaning that the insertion of the data is optional for the person submitting the message (the consignor or consignee) except where a Member State has stipulated that the data are required in accordance with the option provided for in column E for some of the optional data (sub)groups or data elements; (iii) ‘C’ (Conditional), meaning that the use of the data (sub)group or data element depends on other data (sub)groups or data elements in the same message; (iv) ‘D’ (Dependent), meaning that the use of the data (sub)group or data element depends on a condition which cannot be checked by the computerised system, as provided for in columns E and F; (e) column E provides the condition(s) for data whose insertion is conditional, specifies the use of the optional and dependent data where applicable and indicates which data must be provided by the competent authorities; (f) column F provides explanations, where necessary, concerning the completion of the message; (g) column G provides: (i) for some data (sub)groups a number followed by the character ‘x’ indicating how many times the data (sub)group can be repeated in the message (default = 1); (ii) for each data element, except for data elements indicating the time or the date or both, the characteristics identifying the data type and the data length. The codes for the data types are as follows: — a alphabetic; — n numeric; — an alphanumeric. The number following the code provides the admissible data length for the data element concerned. The optional two dots before the length indicator mean that the data have no fixed length, but can have up to a number of digits, as specified by the length indicator. A comma in the data length means that the data can hold decimals, the digit before the comma provides the total length of the attribute, and the digit after the comma provides the maximum number of digits after the decimal point; ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj 3/28EN OJ L, 15.1.2026 (iii) for data elements indicating the time or the date or both, the mention ‘date’, ‘time’ or ‘dateTime’, meaning that the date, the time or the date and time must be given using the ISO 8601 standard for representation of dates and time. 2. The following abbreviations are used in the tables of this Annex: (a) e-AD: electronic administrative document; (b) e-SAD: electronic simplified administrative document; (c) ARC: administrative reference code; (d) SEED: System for Exchange of Excise Data (the electronic database referred to in Article 19(1) of Regulation (EU) No 389/2012; (e) CN Code: Combined Nomenclature Code. 3. The following definitions are used in the tables of this Annex: (a) ‘Authorisation Begin Date’ means the date from which an economic operator is authorised by the responsible Member State to produce, store, send or receive excise goods within the meaning of Chapter IV and Section 2 of Chapter V, of Directive (EU) 2020/262; (b) ‘Authorisation End Date’ means the date from which an economic operator is no longer authorised by the responsible Member State; (c) ‘Validity Begin Date’ means the date from which the premises of an economic operator have been declared by the responsible Member State to be valid as a location to produce, send or receive excise goods within the meaning of Chapter IV and Section 2 of Chapter V, of Directive (EU) 2020/262; (d) ‘Validity End Date’ means the date from which the premises of an economic operator cease to be valid. 4/28 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/ojTable 1 Common request (referred to in Article 4(5), Article 7(2) and Article 8(2)) A B C D E F G 1 ATTRIBUTES R a Request Type R The possible values are: n1 1 = (reserved) 2 = Request for reference data 3 = (reserved) 4 = (reserved) 5 = Request for re-synchronisation of the register of economic operators 6 = Request for retrieval of a list of e-ADs/e-SADs 7 = Request for SEED statistics 8 = Request for retrieval of a list of e-ADs 9 = Request for retrieval of a list of e-SADs b Request Message C — ‘R’ if <Request Type> is ‘2’ The possible values are: a..9 Name — Does not apply otherwise (see Request Type in box 1a) ‘C_COD_DAT’ = Common list of codes ‘C_PAR_DAT’ = Common system parameters ‘ALL’ = For complete structure c Requesting Office R (see Code list 4 in Annex II to Delegated Regulation an8 (EU) 2022/1636) 2 E-AD/E-SAD LIST C — ‘R’ if <Request Type> is ‘6’, ‘8’ or ‘9’ REQUEST — Does not apply otherwise (see Request Type in box 1a) a Member State Code R (see Code list 3 in Annex II to Delegated Regulation a2 (EU) 2022/1636) ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj 5/28 OJ L, 15.1.2026 ENA B C D E F G 2.1 RA_PRIMARY R 99x CRITERION a Primary Criterion R The possible values are: n..2 Type Code 1 = ARC 2 = Brand name of product 3 = Categories of excise products of the movement 4 = (reserved) 5 = (reserved) 6 = (reserved) 7 = (reserved) 8 = City of consignee 9 = City of consignor 10 = City of guarantor 11 = (reserved) 12 = City of place of delivery 13 = City of tax warehouse of dispatch 14 = City of transporter 15 = CN code of product 16 = Date of invoice 17 = Excise number of consignee 18 = Excise number of consignor 19 = Excise number of guarantor 20 = (reserved) 21 = (reserved) 22 = Excise number of the tax warehouse of destination 23 = Excise number of the tax warehouse of dispatch 24 = (reserved) 25 = Excise product code 26 = Journey time 6/28 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj EN OJ L, 15.1.2026A B C D E F G 27 = Member State of destination 28 = Member State of dispatch 29 = Name of consignee 30 = Name of consignor 31 = Name of guarantor 32 = (reserved) 33 = Name of place of delivery 34 = Name of tax warehouse of dispatch 35 = Name of transporter 36 = Number of invoice 37 = Postal code of consignee 38 = Postal code of consignor 39 = Postal code of guarantor 40 = (reserved) 41 = Postal code of place of delivery 42 = Postal code of tax warehouse of dispatch 43 = Postal code of transporter 44 = Quantity of goods (in an e-AD/e-SAD body) 45 = Local Reference Number, being a serial number, assigned by the consignor 46 = Type of transport 47 = (reserved) 48 = (reserved) 49 = VAT number of the consignee 50 = (reserved) 51 = VAT number of the transporter 52 = Change of destination (sequence number ≥ 2) ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj 7/28 OJ L, 15.1.2026 ENA B C D E F G 2.1.1 RA_PRIMARY R 99x VALUE a Value R If <Primary Criterion Type Code> is ‘46’ (Type of an..255 transport), then an existing <Transport Mode Code> in the list of <TRANSPORT MODES> shall be used. 3 STATISTICS C — ‘R’ if <Request Type> is ‘7’ REQUEST — Does not apply otherwise (see Request Type in box 1a) a Statistic Type R The possible values are: n1 1 = Active/Inactive and Deleted economic operators 2 = Pending expirations 3 = Economic operators by type and tax warehouses 4 = Excise activity 5 = Changes to excise authorisations 3.1 LIST OF MEMBER R 99x STATES Code a Member State Code R (see Code list 3 in Annex II to Delegated Regulation a2 (EU) 2022/1636) 4 STATISTICS PERIOD C — ‘R’ if <Request Type> is ‘7’ — Does not apply otherwise (see Request Type in box 1a) a Year R n4 8/28 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj EN OJ L, 15.1.2026A B C D E F G b Semester C For 4 b, c, and d: The possible values are: n1 The three following data fields are optional and exclusive: — <Semester> — <Quarter> 1 = First semester — <Month> 2 = Second semester i.e. If one of these data fields is given then the two other data fields do not apply c Quarter C The possible values are: n1 1 = First quarter 2 = Second quarter 3 = Third quarter 4 = Fourth quarter d Month C The possible values are: n..2 1 = January 2 = February 3 = March 4 = April 5 = May 6 = June 7 = July 8 = August 9 = September 10 = October 11 = November 12 = December ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2026/51/oj 9/28 OJ L, 15.1.2026 ENA B C D E F G 5 REFERENCE — ‘R’ if <Request Type> is ‘2’ or ‘5’ SYNCHRONISA­ — Does not apply otherwise.
