Customs 2013: action programme for customs in the Community

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by Jannelly FOURTOU (ALDE, FR) and made some amendments to the Commission’s proposal. Those amendments conformed largely to the changes made by its competent 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 modernised EU Customs Code (COD/2005/0246) and a paperless environment for customs and trade (COD/2005/0247.)
