resolution a simple and paperless environment for Customs and Trade which follows to the Commission Communication
2 axes:– interoperability– accessibility
10
MASPMASP
INTEROPERABILITY
Between customs administrations (exchange of data to perform risk analysis and decide on physical control of goods at the EU border)
First implementations: 1)current ECS (Export Control System) pilot project based on NCTS structure and messages foreseen for 2006
2) AES (Automated Import System) user requirements foreseen for 2006
11
MASPMASP
INTEROPERABILITY (continues 2) Setting up a convergent automated system of
risk-analysis (proposed in the draft regulattion currently under discussion at the Council)
Automated importation system Links with existing common systems and
reference data (e.g.NCTS, quotas, TARIC etc)
12
MASPMASP
INTEROPERABILITY (continues 3) Interoperability between Customs and
other administrations (taxation, agriculture, environment etc).> Single Window in order to facilitate accessibility
13
MASPMASP
ACCESIBILITY Single access point for the trader (=no 25
interfaces, no harmonised interface, but give the data once for the whole EU customs transactions)
Single window for customs related legislation (this implies interoperability between customs administrations and other agencies)
Customs common portal to provide customs-related info

priorities and timelines)– Council decision binding all stakeholders to
the implementation of eCustoms

SINGLE WINDOW Traders submit all data required for the customs procedure to
customs, even if they are required by non-customs legislation and need to be submitted to health, environment, police and other authorities and agencies (e.g. electronic certificates)
Real-time exchange of data between customs and these authorities and agencies will enable customs to validate this data submitted by traders
ONE-STOP SHOP Physical controls required by different authorities and agencies
involved in customs transactions are performed at the same time and at the same place
