SCHEDULE 2

Council Convention on Centralised Customs Clearance Concerning the Allocation of National Collection Costs Retained When Traditional Own Resources are Made Available to the EU Budget

Section 43

THE CONTRACTING PARTIES, Member States of the European Union

HAVING REGARD to Council Decision No 2007/436/EC, Euratom of 7 June 2007 8 8OJ No. L163, 23.06.2007, p.17 on the system of the European Communities’ own resources (hereinafter referred to as the Decision),

8OJ No. L163, 23.06.2007, p.17

CONSIDERING Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1150/2000 of 22 May 2000 9 9OJ No. L130, 31.05.2000, p.1 implementing the abovementioned Decision on own resources (hereinafter referred to as the Regulation),

9OJ No. L130, 31.05.2000, p.1

CONSIDERING that centralised clearance, and other simplifications of customs formalities, within the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 10 10OJ No. L145, 04.06.2008, p.1 laying down the Community Customs Code (hereinafter referred to as the Modernised Customs Code) may help create conditions favourable to trade,

10OJ No. L145, 04.06.2008, p.1

CONSIDERING that the Single Authorisation as defined by Article 1(13) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/9311 11OJ No. L253, 11.10.1993, p.1 provides the same benefits for the period until the Modernised Customs Code has become applicable,

11OJ No. L253, 11.10.1993, p.1

CONSIDERING the Council’s statement of 25 June 2007 on the sharing of duty collection costs, on VAT and on statistics under the centralised clearance system and the statement of the Council and the Commission of 25 June 2007 on the evaluation of the functioning of the centralised clearance system,

TAKING ACCOUNT of Articles 17 and 120 of the Modernised Customs Code which respectively provide for the recognition of the validity of decisions taken by customs authorities throughout the Community, and stipulate the conclusive force of the results of verifications throughout the territory of the Community,

WHEREAS

(1) The management of centralised clearance, which may be combined with simplifications of customs formalities, where goods are declared for free circulation in a Member State but presented to customs in another Member State implies administrative expenditure in both Member States. That justifies a partial redistribution of the collection costs which are retained when traditional own resources are made available to the Community budget in accordance with the Regulation.

(2) That redistribution, carried out by the Contracting Party where the customs declaration is lodged for the benefit of the Contracting Party where the goods are presented, corresponds to a total of 50 % of the retained collection costs.

(3) Smooth implementation of the redistribution of collection costs requires the adoption of specific procedures in the form of a Convention between the Contracting Parties.

(4) This Convention is to be applied by the Contracting Parties in accordance with their national laws and procedures,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS

CHAPTER I

SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS

Article 1

1. This Convention defines the procedures for the redistribution of collection costs when own resources are made available to the EU budget, which shall be followed by the Contracting Parties in case of centralised clearance as defined by Article 106 of the Modernised Customs Code, where goods are declared for release for free circulation in a Member State but presented to customs in another Member State.

2. The procedures referred to in paragraph 1 shall also apply when the concept of centralised clearance is combined with simplifications established under the Modernised Customs Code.

3. The procedures referred to in paragraph 1 shall also apply to the Single Authorisation as defined by Article 1(13) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2454/93 12 12OJ No. L253, 11.10.1993, p.1, for release for free circulation.

12OJ No. L253, 11.10.1993, p.1
