            UNILATERAL DECLARATION BY THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE JOINT COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY THE AGREEMENT ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY
         
of 24 March 2023
         
on strengthening enforcement action for goods moved in parcels from another part of the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland

Prior to the entirety of the provisions of Decision No 1/2023 (1) becoming applicable, the United Kingdom is committed to working with the Union to provide protection to the Union internal market by strengthening enforcement action concerning goods moved in parcels from another part of the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland. In that context, the United Kingdom undertakes to:






—


Work with economic operators, notably fast parcels and postal operators, to make available to the United Kingdom Government and Union representatives commercial data on the movement of parcels, including the sender, the recipient and the description of the relevant goods. This data would support enforcement and compliance action, supplementing existing risk and intelligence led activity.










—


Enhance existing co-operation between UK customs authorities and the European Commission, by collaborating on enforcement and compliance risks on the basis of the agreed operational arrangements referred to in Decision No 1/2023.










—


The United Kingdom will regularly update the Specialised Committee on issues related to the implementation of the Windsor Framework (2) on the progress of the work carried out on the above-mentioned issues.

Action brought on 24 March 2023 — European Commission v Italian Republic

(2023/C 173/40)
Language of the case: Italian

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: C. Hermes and G. Gattinara, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Italian Republic

Form of order sought

The Commission claims that the Court should






—


declare that, by failing to establish and implement one single action plan or a set of action plans to address the priority pathways of invasive alien species and by failing to transmit it or them to the Commission without delay, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 13(2) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species; (1)











—


order the Italian Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In a single plea in law, the Commission claims that, by failing to establish and implement one single action plan or a set of action plans to address the priority pathways of invasive alien species and by failing to transmit it or them to the Commission without delay, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 13(2) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 1143/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species.
In particular, on the date of expiry of the time limit laid down in the reasoned opinion, namely 9 April 2022, the defendant had neither established nor implemented one single action plan or a set of action plans to address the priority pathways of invasive alien species pursuant to Article 13(2) of that regulation, nor had it transmitted without delay that plan or set of plans pursuant to Article 13(5) of the regulation.

            UNILATERAL DECLARATION BY THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE JOINT COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED BY THE AGREEMENT ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY
         
of 24 March 2023
         
on the democratic consent mechanism in Article 18 of the Windsor Framework (1)


The United Kingdom notes that the joint solutions announced in Windsor are intended to constitute a series of practical and sustainable measures to address, in a definitive way, deficiencies and situations unforeseen that have emerged since the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland (‘the Protocol’) entered into force.
The United Kingdom recognises the importance of ensuring that these arrangements are always able to command the broadest possible support across the community in Northern Ireland, in line with its responsibility to uphold the Good Friday or Belfast Agreement of 10 April 1998, including its subsequent implementation agreements and arrangements, in all its parts – and with regard to its specific responsibilities to respect the identity, ethos and aspirations of both communities. The democratic consent mechanism in Article 18 of the Windsor Framework provides an ongoing and important safeguard in that respect, alongside which the United Kingdom is committed to commissioning an independent review in the circumstances set out in its Unilateral Declaration on consent (2). In any such circumstances, whether following the first exercise of the democratic consent mechanism or thereafter, the United Kingdom commits to bring the recommendations of the review to the Joint Committee, recognising the responsibility of the Joint Committee under Article 164 of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community to consider any matter of interest relating to an area covered by the Windsor Framework, and to seek appropriate ways and methods of preventing problems that might arise in areas covered by the Windsor Framework.
