REGULATION (EU) 2019/1239 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 20 June 2019

establishing a European Maritime Single Window environment and repealing Directive 2010/65/EU

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 100(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

 

(1)

Directive 2010/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) requires Member States to accept the fulfilment of the reporting obligations of ships arriving in and departing from Union ports in electronic format and to ensure their transmission via a single window in order to facilitate and expedite maritime transport.

 

(2)

Maritime transport is the backbone of trade and communications within and beyond the single market. For the facilitation of maritime transport, and in order to further reduce the administrative burden for shipping companies, the information procedures for fulfilment of reporting obligations imposed on shipping companies by Union legal acts, by international legal acts and by national law of Member States should be further simplified and harmonised and should be technology-neutral, promoting future-proof reporting solutions.

 

(3)

Both the European Parliament and the Council have frequently called for more interoperability and for more comprehensive, user-friendly communication and information flows, in order to improve the functioning of the internal market and to meet the needs of citizens and businesses.

 

(4)

The main aim of this Regulation is to lay down harmonised rules for the provision of the information that is required for port calls, in particular by ensuring that the same data sets can be reported to each maritime National Single Window in the same way. This Regulation also aims to facilitate the transmission of information between declarants, relevant authorities and the providers of port services in the port of call, and other Member States. The application of this Regulation should not alter the time frames for, or the substance of, reporting obligations, and should not affect the subsequent storage and processing of information at Union level or at national level.

 

(5)

The existing maritime National Single Window in each Member State should be maintained as the basis for a technologically neutral and interoperable European Maritime Single Window environment (‘EMSWe’). The maritime National Single Window should constitute a comprehensive reporting entry point for maritime transport operators, performing the functionalities of data collection from the declarants and data distribution to all relevant competent authorities and providers of port services.

 

(6)

In order to enhance the efficiency of the maritime National Single Windows and to prepare for future developments, it should be possible to maintain present or establish new arrangements in Member States to use the maritime National Single Window for the reporting of similar information for other transport modes.

 

(7)

The front-end interfaces of those maritime National Single Windows on the side of the declarants should be harmonised at Union level, in order to facilitate reporting and further reduce administrative burden. This harmonisation should be achieved by the use in every maritime National Single Window of common interface software for system-to-system exchanges of...
