The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Jannelly FOURTOU (ALDE, FR) amending the proposed regulation laying down the Community Customs Code (Modernised Customs Code). The amendments conformed largely to those made by its Internal Market committee. (Please see the summary of 22/11/2006.)
It should be recalled that this is one of three reports, all of which aim to revise the EU customs framework to meet evolving challenges in trade, technology and security. The other reports involve a paperless environment for customs (COD/2005/0247) and the launch of the Customs 2013 action programme(COD/2006/0075.)
