         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/1013
   of 25 June 2015
   laying down rules in respect of Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council on drug precursors and of Council Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 laying down rules for the monitoring of trade between the Union and third countries in drug precursors
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 on drug precursors (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 of 22 December 2004 laying down rules for the monitoring of trade between the Union and third countries in drug precursors (2), and in particular Article 6(3), the third subparagraph of Article 9(2) and Article 28 thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EC) No 1277/2005 (3) lays down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 in the field of drug precursors. Both Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 have been amended after the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 1277/2005 so as to include empowerments to adopt delegated and implementing acts pursuant to Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty. Therefore, new rules should be adopted in accordance with the new empowerments.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Although Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 deals with domestic trade and Regulation (EC) No 111/2005 deals with international trade, many of the provisions are common to both Regulations. In order to ensure coherence, it is justified to adopt a single implementing act covering both Regulations.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In order to ensure legal certainty and a coherent enforcement of the provisions of this Regulation, it is necessary to give a definition of ‘business premises’.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               The existing provisions regarding the procedural rules for granting licences, the procedure and format for providing information required to monitor trade, and the format and handling of import and export authorisations have proven to be effective and should therefore, in essence on substance, continue to apply by virtue of this Regulation.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The procedural rules for granting registration to operators and users, as defined in Regulation (EC) No 273/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 111/2005, should reflect those for granting licences.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               In order to ensure data quality and coherence, and avoid duplication, in the information fed into the European database on drug precursors, each Member State should establish one single contact point transmitting the information to the database. Information should be transmitted without undue delay. Information on a licence or a registration should include the elements necessary for identifying the operator or user holding the licence or registration, as well as the substance(s) covered. Access to the information should be restricted to the minimum necessary for the public authorities' performance of their duties.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Transitional rules should allow the use of paper forms issued before the entry into force of this Regulation in compliance with previous rules until the stocks of such paper forms have been exhausted.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Drug Precursors Committee,

   By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, the box relating to the authorisation number may have a different format in cases where the export or import authorisation is granted by electronic means.
   2.   An export authorisation shall be established in four copies numbered 1 to 4. Copy No 1 shall be kept by the authority issuing the authorisation. Copies No 2 and No 3 shall accompany the scheduled substance and be presented to the customs office where the customs export declaration is made, and subsequently to the competent authority at the point of exit from the customs territory of the Union.

   7.   By way of derogation from paragraphs 1-6, a Member State may issue an export or import authorisation on a form printed before the date of entry into force of this Regulation and complying with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1277/2005 until the stocks are exhausted.
   8.   Export authorisations granted by simplified procedure shall be established using copies No 1, 2 and 4 of the form set out in Annex III. Copy No 1 shall be kept by the authority issuing the authorisation. Copy No 2 and Copy No 4 shall remain with the exporter. The exporter shall indicate details of each export operation on the back side of Copy No 2, in particular the quantity of the scheduled substance of each export operation and the remaining quantity. Copy No 2 shall be presented to the customs office when the customs declaration is made. That customs office shall confirm the details and return Copy No 2 to the exporter.
   9.   The operator shall enter the authorisation number and the words ‘simplified export authorisation procedure’ on the customs declaration for each export operation. Where the customs office of exit is not at the point of exit from the customs territory of the Union, the information shall be provided on the documents accompanying the export consignment.
   10.   The exporter shall return Copy No 2 to the issuing authority at the latest 10 working days following the expiry of the period of validity of the export authorisation granted by simplified procedure.
   Article 12
   Listing of operators and users in the European database on drug precursors
   1.   For the purpose of listing in the European database on drug precursors operators and users which have obtained a licence or registration pursuant to Article 3(7) of Regulation (EC) No 273/2004, each Member State shall nominate one contact point and communicate the contact details to the Commission.
   2.   The responsible contact point shall transmit the relevant information electronically within 30 working days of having issued the license or the registration. Where the concerned operator or user communicates changes to the relevant information to the competent authority, or where a license or a registration is suspended or revoked, the responsible contact point shall update the information within 30 working days of accepting the changes or suspending or revoking the license or the registration.
   3.   The Commission shall ensure that:
   
               (a)
            
            
               the electronic transmission of information is secure;
            
         
               (b)
            
            
               the database is restricted and accessible only to the appointed officers designated by the Member States and to the Commission officials responsible for the European database.
            
         4.   The Commission and the competent authorities shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the information on operators and users listed in the database is used only for the purpose of the official duties of the appointed officers and of the Commission officials.
   5.   Information on operators and users shall include the full name, the address, the licence or registration number, the validity status of the licence or registration, and the name and CN code of the scheduled substances which are covered by the respective licence or registration.
   6.   The Commission shall keep information on licences and registrations which have expired or have been revoked available in the database for at least three years following the date of expiry of validity or of revocation.
