COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 75/98

of 12 January 1998

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the
implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the
Community Customs Code

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92
of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs
Code (1), as last amended by European Parliament and
Council Regulation (EC) No 82/97 (2), and in particular
Article 249 thereof,

Whereas it is appropriate to insert in Commission Regu-
lation (EEC) No 2454/93 (3), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EC) No 1427/97 (4), a definition of the term ‘EFTA
the Community
countries’, as used in the context of
transit rules; whereas account should therefore be taken of
the fact that countries other than the original Community
and EFTA States have acceded to the Convention of 20
May 1987 on a common transit procedure (5), hereinafter
referred to as ‘the Convention’;

Whereas the provisions on transit and proof of
the
Community status of goods carried by sea needs to be
amended to simplify the tasks both of economic operators
and of customs administrations;

the
Whereas the provisions on transit and proof of
Community status of goods carried by sea are inadequate
because of the particular features of sea transport which
have no counterpart in other types of transport; whereas it
is consequently impossible under the current provisions
to guarantee collection of customs debt and other charges
on goods;

Whereas the Community transit procedure, which is obli-
gatory for carriage by sea of non-Community goods, is
almost impossible to apply in practice because of those
features;

Whereas a guarantee is needed to ensure collection of
customs debt and other charges where goods are carried
under these transit rules, by sea, by regular shipping
services;

Whereas it is necessary to establish a way of identifying
goods consigned to or from a part of the customs territory
the Community where the provisions of Council
of
Directive 77/388/EEC (6), as last amended by Directive
96/95/EC (7), do not apply; whereas such goods should be
identified by means of a T2LF document or, where they
are carried under the internal Community transit pro-
cedure, by means of a specific entry in the T2 declaration
form;

in the customs territory of

Whereas Community goods consigned from one point to
the Community,
another
which are carried entirely by sea or air through the terri-
tory of one or more countries which have acceded to the
Convention, should not be required to move under the
Community’s internal transit rules solely because they are
carried through the territory of those countries;

Whereas experience has shown that it is advisable to
the comprehensive
restrict
guarantee within the Community transit regime to a
limited period;

the ban on the use of

Whereas, for the purpose of simplifying administrative
procedures, it would seem advisable to harmonize several
of
the forms used in the Community procedure and
common transit procedure, and to combine in a single list
the lists of certain sensitive goods contained in Annexes
52 and 56 to Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93;

Whereas the extension of the Community transit pro-
cedure to Andorra and San Marino requires some changes
to the forms;

Whereas the transition period for
trade between the
Community as constituted on 31 December 1985, on the
one hand, and Spain and Portugal on the other, and trade
ended on 31
between those
two Member States,
that documents and
December 1995, with the result
procedures are no longer needed to identify goods so
traded; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No
409/86 (8),
by Regulation (EEC) No
amended
3716/91 (9), should therefore be repealed;

Whereas Article 188 of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92,
hereinafter referred to as ‘the Code’, grants import tariff
reductions on fisheries products caught by Community
vessels in the territorial waters of a third country; whereas
a certificate in the form of a standard model incorporating
all the necessary declarations needed in support of the
declaration for release for free circulation would be the
best way to deal with those products;

Whereas a simple obligation on the part of the Member
States to keep at the disposal of the Commission the lists
of cases referred to in Articles 870 and 889(2) of Regula-
tion (EEC) No 2454/93 is sufficient not only to allow
checks carried out in the framework of own resources
controls to be carried out properly but also to protect the
financial interests of the Community; whereas it is there-
fore convenient, with a view to simplifying the obligations
of the Member States, to put an end to the obligation to
send these lists to the Commission;

Whereas the codes established by Regulation (EEC) No
2454/93 do not cover returned goods within the meaning
of Article 185 of the Code or goods from third countries
released for free circulation in a country with which the
Community has concluded a customs union agreement
before being redispatched to the Community; whereas,
therefore, those categories should be included in the list
of codes;

Whereas the provisions of this Regulation are in accord-
ance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
