The Commission is required, by virtue of Regulation (EC)
No 2320/2002, to adopt measures for the implemen-

fulfilled in order to be granted the status of Authorised

Member State should consider to take into account the
relevant information provided by the customs authority

listing an agent as
regulated agent.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2320/2002 and
in order to prevent acts of unlawful
interference, the
measures
laid down in the Annex to Regulation
(EC) No 622/2003 should be secret and should not be
published. The same rule necessarily applies to any
amending act.

Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended
accordingly.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Civil
