Notice to importers

Imports of tuna products from Thailand into the European Union

2013/C 220/05

The European Commission informs European Union operators that there are reasonable doubts concerning the proper application of the preferential tariff treatment and the applicability of proofs of origin presented in the European Union for canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 160414 imported from Thailand.

It would appear — following a number of investigations — that significant quantities of canned tuna and frozen tuna loins of HS subheading 160414 are declared for release for free circulation in the European Union as having Thai origin, despite not being eligible for such preferential treatment.

European Union operators declaring or presenting proofs of origin for the products mentioned above are therefore advised to take all necessary precautions. This is because the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt, lead to fraud and, consequently, negatively affect European Union financial interests. The possible subsequent entry in the accounts of a customs debt resulting from the abovementioned circumstances will be covered by the provisions of the fifth subparagraph of Article 220(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (1).

Motivation: At this stage of the EFF programming period 2007–2013, it would be difficult to allocate the resources still available under Axis III (for which the Fruili-Venezia-Giulia region is responsible as the Intermediate Body) for collective measures, particularly following the selection of the Fruili-Venezia-Giulia Coastal Action Group (CAG) by means of a ranked call for tenders issued in June 2012. Indeed, following the implementation of Axis IV of the EFF and the approval of the CAG’s Local Development Plan and associated financing plan, almost all the resources still available under Axis III will be advertised, with preference given to the CAG.

Motivation: indicate why a State aid scheme has been established instead of assistance under the European Fisheries Fund: Although the grant to Seafood Scotland is compatible with the European Fisheries Fund, the competitive nature of the process and the time taken to obtain approval if successful, and the retrospective payment of awards means that the grant is better suited to the exemption regulation.
