DECISION No 2/2013 OF THE EU-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE ON COMMON TRANSIT
of 7 November 2013
amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure
(2013/675/EU)
THE EU-EFTA JOINT COMMITTEE,
Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (1), and in particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
The Recommendation of 26 June 2009 of the Customs Cooperation Council amended the Harmonised System nomenclature. As a consequence, on 1 January 2012, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1006/2011 (2) entered into force and replaced HS code 1701 11 by two new HS codes, namely 1701 13 and 1701 14, and HS code 2403 10 by two new HS codes, namely 2403 11 and 2403 19. |
|
(2) |
Consequently, the corresponding HS codes specified in the list of goods involving higher risk of fraud of Annex I to Appendix I to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure (the ‘Convention’) should be amended accordingly. |
|
(3) |
Due to a new revision of Recommendation 21 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, revision 8.1, on, inter alia, package codes, it is appropriate to adapt Annex A2 to Appendix III to the Convention accordingly. |
|
(4) |
As the package codes format has changed from alphabetical2 (a2) to alphanumeric2 (an2) codes, the Type/Length of the kind of packages (box 31) in Annex A1 to Appendix III to the Convention should be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
The proposed amendments lead to an alignment of provisions on common transit with the EU provisions on transit. |
|
(6) |
Therefore the Convention should be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure shall be amended as set out in the Appendix to this Decision.
Article 2
The amendments set out in point 1 of the Appendix to this Decision shall apply from 1 January 2012.
The amendments set out in points 2 and 3 of the Appendix to this Decision shall apply from 1 January 2013.
Done at Reykjavik, 7 November 2013.
For the EU-EFTA Joint Committee on common transit
