The Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs adopted, following the consultation procedure, a report by Ivana MALETIĆ (EPP, HR) on the proposal for a Council regulation amending Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 on administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties as regards the content of electronic register.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament approve the Commission's proposal without amendments.
The proposal concerns the automation of the supervision of movements of excise goods which have been released for consumption in one Member State and that are being moved to another Member State in order to be delivered for commercial purposes in that other Member State.
The proposal amends the scope of Article 19 of the Regulation to include two new categories of economic operators: certified consignors, who are registered as consignors for excise goods that have already been released for consumption and certified consignees who are registered as consignees for excise goods that have already been released for consumption.
Additionally, according to the proposal, the electronic register will include information concerning the registered consignor's right to leave empty the destination fields in the draft electronic administrative document when moving energy products under duty suspension arrangement by sea or inland waterways.
