COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) 2021/774
of 10 May 2021
amending Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 on administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties as regards the content of electronic registers
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 113 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 Parliament (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),
Acting in accordance with a special legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1) |
Article 19 of Council Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 (3) lays down an obligation for Member States to maintain electronic registers of authorisations of economic operators and tax warehouses that are engaged in moving excise goods under duty suspension arrangements. |
(2) |
Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 (4) extends the use of the computerised system under Decision (EU) 2020/263 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5), which is currently used to supervise movements of excise goods under duty suspension, to the supervision of excise goods released for consumption in the territory of one Member State and then moved to the territory of another Member State in order to be delivered for commercial purposes. |
(3) |
In order to allow for the proper functioning of the computerised system by ensuring storage of complete, up-to-date and accurate data, it is necessary to amend the scope of Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 in order to set out the information that Member States should introduce in the electronic registers in relation to the certified consignors and certified consignees moving excise goods only occasionally. |
(4) |
Since the objective of this Regulation, namely the specification of the information that Member States should introduce in the electronic registers in relation to the certified consignors and certified consignees moving excise goods only occasionally, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of ensuring the harmonised functioning of the computerised system and facilitating the fight against fraud, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective. |
(5) |
This Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles which are recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular the right to the protection of personal data. In view of the limits set by Regulation (EU) No 389/2012, the processing of such data carried out within the framework of this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary and proportionate for the purpose of protecting the legitimate fiscal interests of the Member States. |
(6) |
The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). |
(7) |
In order to align the application date of this Regulation with the application date of the provisions of Directive (EU) 2020/262 on automation of movements of excise goods released for consumption in the territory of one Member State and then moved to the territory of another Member State in order to be delivered for commercial purposes in the territory of that other Member State and to allow the Member States adequate time to prepare... |
