Decision No 1/2024 of the EU-CTC Joint Committee of 18 October 2024 as regards the amendment of Appendices I and IIIa to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure [2025/137]

Official Journal EN of the European Union L series 2025/137 30.1.2025 DECISION No 1/2024 OF THE EU-CTC JOINT COMMITTEE of 18 October 2024 as regards the amendment of Appendices I and IIIa to the Convention of 20 May 1987on a common transit procedure [2025/137] THE EU-CTC JOINT COMMITTEE, Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure, and in particular Article 15(3), first subparagraph, point (a), thereof, Whereas: (1) Pursuant to Article 15(3), first subparagraph, point (a), of the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (‘the Convention’)(1), the Joint Committee established by the Convention is to adopt, by decision, amendments to the Appendices to the Convention. (2) Annex B to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446(2) was amended by means of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/234(3)and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/235(4). It 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 interoperability between the customs electronic systems used for the different types of declaration and notification. Annex A1a 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(5) was amended by means of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/234 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/235. It 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 the exchange of information 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 in order to ensure that the electronic customs systems used for the various types of declaration and notification are interoperable 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. (4) In order to adapt to the increasing digitalisation of transit procedures as referred to in Appendix IIIa to the Convention and to better address the prevailing economic needs, the person who presents the goods at the customs office of departure should be allowed, like the holder of the procedure, to request a transit accompanying document from the customs office of departure. (1) OJ L 226, 13.8.1987, p. 2. (2) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 of 28 July 2015 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards detailed rules concerning certain provisions of the Union Customs Code (OJ L 343, 29.12.2015, p. 1). (3) Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/234 of 7 December 2020 amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 as regards common data requirements, and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/341 as regards the codes to be used in certain forms (OJ L 63, 23.02.2021, p. 1). (4) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/235 of 8 February 2021 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 as regards formats and codes of common data requirements, certain rules on surveillance and the competent customs office for placing goods under a customs procedure (OJ L 63, 23.02.2021, p. 386). (5) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 of 24 November 2015 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the Union Customs Code (OJ L 343, 29.12.2015, p. 558). ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2025/137/oj 1/72EN OJ L, 30.1.2025 (5) In order to adapt to the increasing digitalisation of transit procedures as referred to in Appendix IIIa to the Convention, to better address the prevailing economic needs and to ensure a facilitated yet harmonised approach across the Union and in the common transit countries, transhipments of containers and similar intermodal transport units should, under certain conditions, not be considered to be an incident that requires customs intervention as referred to in Article 44(1) of Appendix I to the Convention. (6) The movement of goods under the transit procedure will be simplified by removing at departure the obligation for the customs authorities to print a transit accompanying document once the new computerised transit system (NCTS) is upgraded to version 5. The transit accompanying document needs then only to be printed upon request of the holder of the procedure. At the customs office of transit and at the customs office of destination, the movement reference number can be presented by means other than paper. (7) As the business continuity procedure is only rarely applied, it is useful to stipulate that the customs authorities need to issue the necessary comprehensive guarantee certificates or guarantee waiver certificates only upon request of the holder of the procedure. (8) It is necessary to correct a typographical error which appears in Article 111a(1) of Appendix I to the Convention. (9) The Convention should therefore be amended accordingly, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The Convention of 20 May 1987on a common transit procedure (‘the Convention’) is amended as follows: (1) Appendix I is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Decision. (2) Appendix IIIa is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Decision. Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
