Whereas:

(4) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992, establishing the Community Customs Code (3) foresees appropriate security and safety standards to be fulfilled in order to be granted the status of Authorised Economic Operator. The appropriate authority of a Member State should consider to take into account the relevant information provided by the customs authority when designating, approving or listing an agent as regulated agent.
(5) 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unlawful interference, the measures laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be secret and should not be published.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.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 622/2003 should be amended accordingly.
