(2) Annex B to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446(2) has been amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/234(3). That Annex lays down the data element requirements for the transit declaration to better harmonise the common data elements for the exchange and storage of information between customs authorities as well as between customs authorities and economic operators. Such horizontal harmonisation was necessary to ensure inter-operability between the customs electronic systems used for the different types of declarations and notifications. Annex B6a to Appendix IIIa to the Convention mirrors Annex B to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 and should therefore be amended accordingly. (3) Annex B to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447(4) has been amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/235(5). That Annex lays down the formats and codes of the common data elements for the transit declaration, in order to better harmonise the formats and codes of the common data elements for the storage of information and for its exchange between customs authorities, as well as between customs authorities and economic operators. The formats and codes of the common data elements needed to be harmonised to ensure that the electronic customs systems used for the various types of declarations and notifications are inter-operable once the common data requirements have been harmonised. Annex A1a to Appendix IIIa to the Convention mirrors Annex B to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 and should therefore be amended accordingly. (1) OJ L 226, 13.8.1987, p. 2.

Implementing provisions are set out in Annex I to this Appendix. Definitions Article 2 In this Appendix: — “applicant authority” means the competent authority of a country that makes a request for assistance concerning a claim referred to in Article 3; — “requested authority" means the competent authority of a country to which a request for assistance is made. Scope Article 3 This Appendix shall apply to: (a) all claims relating to debts covered by Article 3, point l of Appendix I due in connection with a common transit operation that began after the entry into force of this Appendix; (b) interest and costs incidental to the recovery of the claims referred to above. Request for information Article 4 1. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall provide any information that would be useful to the applicant authority in the recovery of its claim. In order to obtain this information, the requested authority shall make use of the powers provided under the laws, regulations or administrative provisions applying to the recovery of similar claims arising in the country where that authority is situated. 2. The request for information shall contain at least the following information: (a) name, address and other data relevant to the identification of the person to whom the information to be provided relates; (b) information relating to the claim(s) such as nature and amount of the claim; (c) any other information, if needed. 3. The requested authority shall not be obliged to supply information: (a) which it would not be able to obtain for the purpose of recovering similar claims arising in the country in which it is situated; (b) which would disclose any commercial, industrial or professional secrets; or (c) the disclosure of which would be liable to prejudice the security of or be contrary to the public policy of the country in which it is situated.L 253/64 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.9.2022 4. The requested authority shall inform the applicant authority of the grounds for refusing a request for information. 5. Information obtained in accordance with this Article shall be used solely for the purposes of this Convention and shall be accorded the same protection by a receiving country as is afforded to information of like nature under the national law of that country. Such information may be used for other purposes only with the written consent of the competent authority that furnished it and subject to any restrictions laid down by that authority. 6. The request for information shall be provided using the form set out in Annex II to this Appendix. Request for notification Article 5 1. The requested authority shall, at the request of the applicant authority, and in accordance with the rules of law in force for the notification of similar instruments or decisions in the country in which the requested authority is situated, notify to the addressee all instruments and decisions, including those of a judicial nature, which emanate from the country in which the applicant authority is situated and which relate to a claim and/or to its recovery. 2. The request for notification shall contain at least the following information: (a) name, address and other data relevant to the identification of the addressee; (b) nature and subject of the instrument or decision to be notified; (c) information relating to the claim(s); such as nature and amount of the claim (d) any other information, if needed. 2a. The applicant authority shall make a request for notification only when it is unable to notify in the country where the applicant authority is situated, in accordance with the rules governing the notification of the document concerned or when such notification would give rise to disproportionate difficulties. 3. The requested authority shall promptly inform the applicant authority of the action taken on its request for notification and, more especially, of the date on which the instrument or decision was forwarded to the addressee. 4. The request for notification shall be provided using the form set out in Annex III to this Appendix. Request for recovery Article 6 1. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall recover claims, which are the subject of an instrument permitting their enforcement in accordance with the laws, regulations or administrative provisions applying to the recovery of similar claims arising in the country in which the requested authority is situated. 2. For this purpose, any claim in respect of which a request for recovery has been made shall be treated as a claim of the country in which the requested authority is situated, except where Article 12 applies. Article 7 1. The request for recovery of a claim which the applicant authority addresses to the requested authority must be accompanied by an official or certified copy of the instrument permitting its enforcement, issued in the country in which the applicant authority is situated and, if appropriate, by the original or a certified copy of other documents necessary for recovery.30.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 253/65 2. The applicant authority may not make a request for recovery unless: (a) the claim and/or the instrument permitting its enforcement are not contested in the country in which it is situated; (b) it has, in the country in which it is situated, applied the recovery procedure available to it on the basis of the instrument referred to in paragraph 1, and the measures taken have not resulted in the payment in full of the claim; (c) the claim exceeds EUR 1 500. The equivalent in national currencies of the amount expressed in EUR shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 22 of Appendix II. 3. The request for recovery shall contain at least the following information: (a) name, address and other data relevant to the identification of the person concerned; (b) exact nature of the claim(s); (c) amount of the claim(s); (d) other information, if needed (e) a statement by the applicant authority indicating the date from which enforcement is possible under the laws in force in the country where the applicant authority is situated and confirming that the conditions set out in paragraph 2 are fulfilled. 4. As soon as any relevant information relating to the matter, which gave rise to the request for recovery, comes to the knowledge of the applicant authority it shall forward it to the requested authority. Article 8 The instrument permitting enforcement of the claim shall, where appropriate, and in accordance with the provisions in force in the country in which the requested authority is situated, be accepted, recognized, supplemented or replaced by an instrument authorizing enforcement in the territory of that country. Such acceptance, recognition, supplementing or replacement must take place as soon as possible following the date of receipt of the request for recovery. They may not be refused if the instrument permitting enforcement in the country in which the applicant authority is situated is properly drawn up. If any of these formalities should give rise to an examination or contestation in connection with the claim and/or the instrument permitting enforcement issued by the applicant authority, Article 12 shall apply. Article 9 1. Claims shall be recovered in the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated. 2. The requested authority may, where the laws, regulations or administrative provisions in force in the country in which it is situated so permit, allow the debtor time to pay or authorize payment by instalment. Any interest charged by the requested authority in respect of such extra time to pay shall be remitted to the applicant authority. Any other interest charged for late payment under the laws, regulations and administrative provisions in force in the country in which the requested authority is situated shall also be remitted to the applicant authority. Article 10 The claims to be recovered shall not be given preferential treatment in the country in which the requested authority is situated. Article 11 The requested authority shall inform the applicant authority immediately of the action it has taken on the request for recovery.L 253/66 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.9.2022 Disputes Article 12 1. If, in the course of the recovery procedure, the claim and/or the instrument permitting its enforcement issued in the country in which the applicant authority is situated are contested by an interested party, the action shall be brought by the latter before the competent body of the country in which the applicant authority is situated, in accordance with the laws in force there. This action must be notified by the applicant authority to the requested authority. The party concerned may also notify the requested authority of the action. 2. As soon as the requested authority has received the notification referred to in paragraph 1 either from the applicant authority or from the interested party, it shall suspend the enforcement procedure pending the decision of the body competent in the matter. 2a Should the requested authority deem it necessary, and without prejudice to Article 13, that authority may take precautionary measures to guarantee recovery in so far as the laws or regulations in force in the country in which it is situated allow such action for similar claims. 3. Where the enforcement measures taken in the country in which the requested authority is situated are contested, the action shall be brought before the competent body of that country in accordance with its laws and regulations. 4. Where the competent body before which the action has been brought in accordance with paragraph 1 is a judicial or administrative tribunal, the decision of that tribunal, in so far as it is favourable to the applicant authority and permits recovery of the claim in the country in which the applicant authority is situated shall constitute the ’instrument permitting enforcement’ within the meaning of Articles 6, 7 and 8 and the recovery of the claim shall proceed on the basis of that decision. Request for precautionary measures Article 13 1. At the request of the applicant authority, the requested authority shall take precautionary measures, if allowed by its national law and in accordance with its administrative practices, to ensure recovery where a claim or the instrument permitting enforcement in the country where the applicant authority is situated is contested at the time when the request is made, or where the claim is not yet the subject of an instrument permitting enforcement in the country where the applicant authority is situated, in so far as precautionary measures are also possible, in a similar situation, under the national law and administrative practices in this country. 1a. The request for precautionary measures may be accompanied by other documents relating to the claims, issued in the country where the applicant authority is situated. 2. In order to give effect to the provisions of the paragraph 1, Articles 6, 7(3) and (4), 8, 11, 12 and 14 shall apply mutatis mutandis. 3. The request for precautionary measures shall be provided using the form set out in Annex IV to this Appendix. Exceptions Article 14 The requested authority shall not be obliged: (a) to grant the assistance provided for in Articles 6 to 13 if recovery of the claim would, because of the situation of the debtor, create serious economic or social difficulties in the country in which that authority is situated, in so far as the laws, regulations and administrative practices in force in this country allow such exception for national claims;30.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 253/67 (b) to accept a recovery of a claim if it maintains that it could infringe the public policy or other essential interests of the country in which that authority is situated. (c) to undertake recovery of a claim if the applicant authority has not exhausted the means of recovery in the territory of the country in which it is situated, (d) to grant assistance if the total amount of the claims for which assistance is requested is less than EUR 1 500. The requested authority shall inform the applicant authority of the grounds for refusing a request for assistance. Article 15 1. Questions concerning periods of limitation shall be governed solely by the laws in force in the country in which the applicant authority is situated. 2. Steps taken in the recovery of claims by the requested authority in pursuance of a request for assistance which, if they had been carried out by the applicant authority, would have had the effect of suspending, interrupting or prolonging the period of limitation according to the laws in force in the country in which the applicant authority is situated, shall be deemed to have been taken in the latter country, in so far as that effect is concerned. 3. The applicant authority and the requested authority shall inform each other of any action which interrupts, suspends or prolongs the limitation period of the claim for which the recovery or precautionary measures were requested, or which may have this effect. Confidentiality Article 16 Documents and information sent to the requested authority pursuant to this Appendix may only be communicated by the latter to: (a) the person mentioned in the request for assistance; (b) those persons and authorities responsible for the recovery of the claims, and solely for that purpose; (c) the judicial authorities dealing with matters concerning the recovery of the claims. Languages Article 17 1. Requests for assistance and relevant documents shall be accompanied by a translation in the official language, or one of the official languages of the country in which the requested authority is situated or in a language acceptable to such authority. 2. Information and other particulars communicated by the requested authority to the applicant authority shall be conveyed in the official language or one of the official languages of the country where the requested authority is situated or in another language agreed between the applicant and requested authorities. Costs Article 18 1. The countries concerned shall renounce all claims upon each other for the reimbursement of costs resulting from mutual assistance, which they grant each other pursuant to this Appendix. However, where recovery creates a specific problem, concerns a very large amount in costs or relates to organised crime, the applicant and requested authorities may agree reimbursement arrangements specific to the cases in question.L 253/68 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.9.2022 2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, the country in which the applicant authority is situated shall remain liable to the country in which the requested authority is situated for costs incurred as a result of actions held to be unfounded, as far as either the substance of the claim or the validity of the instrument issued by the applicant authority are concerned. Authorized authorities Article 19 The countries shall inform the Commission of its competent authorities authorized to make or receive requests for assistance, as well as of any subsequent relevant changes. The Commission shall make the information received available to the other countries. Articles 20 to 22 (This Appendix contains no Articles 20 to 22) Final Provisions Article 23 The provisions of this Appendix shall not prevent a greater measure of mutual assistance being afforded either now or in the future by particular countries under any agreements or arrangements, including those for the notification of legal or extra-legal acts.

The instrument permitting enforcement may be issued in respect of several claims where it concerns one and the same person. For the purposes of Articles 12 to 19, all claims, which are covered by the same instrument permitting enforcement, shall be deemed to constitute a single claim. (This Annex contains no Article 12) Article 13 1. The applicant authority shall state the amounts of the claim to be recovered both in the currency of the country in which it is situated and also in the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated. 2. The rate of exchange to be used for the purposes of paragraph 1 shall be the latest selling rate recorded on the most representative exchange market or markets of the country in which the applicant authority is situated, on the date when the request for recovery is signed. Article 14 1. The requested authority shall acknowledge receipt of the request for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures in writing (e.g. by e-mail or fax) as soon as possible and in any event within seven days of its receipt. 2. The requested authority may ask the applicant authority to provide additional information or to complete the instrument permitting enforcement in the requested country, if required. The applicant authority shall provide all additional necessary information to which it normally has access. Article 15 1. Where, within a reasonable time having regard to the particular case, all or part of the claim cannot be recovered or precautionary measures cannot be taken, the requested authority shall so inform the applicant authority, indicating the reasons therefore. In the light of the information received from the requested authority, the applicant authority may request the latter to continue the procedure, which it has undertaken for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures. This request shall be made in writing (e.g. by e-mail or fax) within two months from the receipt of the notification of the outcome of the procedure undertaken by the requested authority for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures, and shall be treated by the requested authority in accordance with the provisions applying to the initial request. 2. No later than at the end of each six-months period following the date of acknowledgement of the receipt of the request, the requested authority shall inform the applicant authority of the state of progress or the outcome of the procedure for recovery or for precautionary measures.L 253/72 EN Official Journal of the European Union 30.9.2022 3. If the laws, regulations and administrative practices in force in the country where the requested authority is situated do not permit precautionary measures or the recovery measures under Article 12(2a) of Appendix IV, the requested authority shall notify the applicant authority thereof as soon as possible and in the event within one month of the receipt of notification referred to in Article 14(1). Article 16 Any action contesting the claim or the instrument permitting its enforcement which is taken in the country in which the applicant authority is situated shall be notified to the requested authority in writing (e.g. by e-mail or fax) by the applicant authority immediately after it has been informed of such action. Article 17 1. If the request for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures becomes nugatory as a result of payment of the claim or of its cancellation or for any other reason, the applicant authority shall immediately inform the requested authority in writing (e.g. by e-mail or fax) so that the latter may stop any action which it has undertaken. 2. Where the amount of the claim which is the subject of the request for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures is amended for any reason, the applicant authority shall immediately inform the requested authority in writing (e. g. by e-mail or fax). If the amendment consists of a reduction in the amount of the claim, the requested authority shall continue the action which it has undertaken with a view to recovery and/or to the taking of precautionary measures, but that action shall be limited to the amount still outstanding. If, at the time the requested authority is informed of the reduction of the amount of the claim, the original amount has already been recovered by it but the transfer procedure referred to in Article 18 has not yet been initiated, the requested authority shall repay the amount overpaid to the person entitled thereto. If the amendment consists of an increase in the amount of the claim, the applicant authority shall as soon as possible address to the requested authority an additional request for recovery and/or for the taking of precautionary measures. This additional request shall, as far as possible, be dealt with by the requested authority at the same time as the original request of the applicant authority. Where, in view of the state of progress of the existing procedure, the joinder of the additional request and the original request is not possible, the requested authority shall only be required to comply with the additional request if it concerns an amount not less than that referred to in Article 7 of Appendix IV. 3. To convert the amended amount of the claim into the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated, the applicant authority shall use the exchange rate used in its original request. Article 18 Any sum recovered by the requested authority, including, where applicable, the interest referred to in Article 9 (2) of Appendix IV, shall be the subject of a transfer to the applicant authority in the currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated. This transfer shall take place within one month of the date on which the recovery was effected. However, if recovery measures applied by the requested authority are contested for a reason not falling within the responsibility of the country where the applicant authority is situated, the requested authority may wait to transfer any sums recovered in relation to the claims, until the dispute is settled, if the following conditions are simultaneously fulfilled: (a) The requested authority finds it likely that the outcome of this contestation will be favourable to the party concerned, and (b) The applicant authority has not declared that it will reimburse the sums already transferred if the outcome of that contestation is favourable to the party concerned.30.9.2022 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 253/73 Article 19 Irrespective of any amounts collected by the requested authority by way of interest referred to in Article 9 (2) of Appendix IV, the claim shall be deemed to have been recovered in proportion to the recovery of the amount expressed in the national currency of the country in which the requested authority is situated, on the basis of the exchange rate referred to in Article 13 (2).
