Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 58/2013of 23 January 2013amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code(Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs CodeOJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1., and in particular Article 247 thereof,Whereas:(1)Commission Regulation (EC) No 1875/2006 of 18 December 2006 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs CodeOJ L 360, 19.12.2006, p. 64. introduced the concept of authorised economic operators (AEO). Economic operators who fulfil the conditions for obtaining the full AEO or AEO Security and safety status should be considered as reliable partners in the supply chain and therefore benefit from facilitations with regard to customs controls relating to security and safety.(2)The Union recognises the trade partnership programmes of certain third countries that have been developed in accordance with the World Customs Organization Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade. Consequently, the Union grants facilitations to those economic operators of a third country who hold a membership status under the customs authority’s programme of that third country. It is therefore necessary to introduce means to identify in entry summary declarations the economic operators holding a membership status under trade partnership programmes of third countries. The relevant facilitations will not be provided without proper identification of those economic operators in the entry summary declarations.(3)It is therefore appropriate to adapt Annex 30a to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1. in order to allow indication of economic operators’ third country unique identification number.(4)Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 should therefore be amended accordingly.(5)The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
