Administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties: content of electronic registers

2021/0015(CNS)

The European Parliament adopted by 662 votes to 3, with 26 abstentions, under a special legislative procedure (consultation), a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council regulation amending Council Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 on administrative cooperation in the field of excise duties as regards the content of electronic registers.

Parliament approved the Commission proposal without amendments.

The Commission proposal extends the scope of Article 19 of Council Regulation (EU) No 389/2012 in order to set out the information that Member States must enter in the registers relating to such economic operators when they move excise goods only occasionally.

This information relates to the quantity of goods, the identity of the economic operator at the end of the movement of the products and the duration of the temporary certification.
