Electronic Customs Coordination GroupItem 16Reporting from the PG analysing the implementation feasibility of Obj 1&2 of the RM StrategyBrussels, 3 December 2014
1. Context • EU Risk Management Strategy • Multiple filinginscribed in the UCC • Joint meetings ECCG/CCC-RM/CCC-FOR/CCC-DIH on 1/07/2014 and of meeting of TCG on 3/07/2014 =>Working document TAXUD(2014)2233525
1. Context • CPG meeting May & July 2014 => Need for furtherimplementation (feasibility) analysis of approach [1-]2-3 linked to Obj 1&2 of the RM Strategy => Supported by a new Project Group • Call for interest to CPG in July 2014 • PG Kick-off on 11 September2014
2. Mandate & role of the PG Objective: Prepare a comprehensive analysis for the CPG Meeting of December 2014 to examine the feasibility of the implementation in terms of processes and requirements, organisational, technological, financial,…
"PG supporting the analysis of the implementation feasibility for objectives 1 &2 of the Risk Management Strategy" Workingarrangements • Number of plannedevents • Plenary meetings + subgroup meetings (riskmanagament/customs business processes/IT) • Use of PICS for e-collaborative edition of document • FromSeptember till November 2014 • Number and Profile of participants • Final composition: 25 experts from 13 MS • Trade invited on ad hoc basis
3. Meetings • 11/09/2014 1st Plenary+ 12/09 RM Subgroup • 24-25/09/2014 Subgroups • 8-9/10/2014 2ndPlenary+ Subgroups • 29-30/10/2014 Subgroups + TCG halfday • 19/11/2014 3rd Plenary
4. Activities • Requirementsdefinition (chapter 3) • Risk Management Requirementsdefined • Definition of e-screening • Definition of ENS+ lifecycle • FunctionalRequirementsdefined + whatis a new requirement + merger key per transport mode • Non functionalRequirementsdefined
ENS+ Lifecycle The “ENS+ lifecycle” is a term for easy reference to the complex entry process starting with • an EO submitting a complete or a partial ENS to Customs; then • customs receiving, validating, processing, making the submitted data (ENS or partial ENS) available to other relevant Member States, performing collaboratively security and safety risk management, making available all the data that is being added to the (partial/complete) ENS such as risk results, decisions, control results, etc; and closing the process with • customs indicating a final state variable to the actual case of the transaction and potential controls performed.
Approaches and options confirmed and completedfrom an IT perspective • Architecture definition (chapter 4) • Functional blocks identified to build IT landscape • SWOT analysis (volumetrics, roles, efficiency, effectiveness, etc)
Solution architecture options 3 Approches – 6 options
How we did it? CBA: 3 approaches Business and functional requirements + Volumetric Functional Architecture (what we need to do?) Application Architectures (how it will work?) Technological Solutions (what technology can do that?) Refinement Planning Costs Six IT implementation + SWOT Analysis options
3 Approaches • Approach 1: Peer-to-peer networking • Approach 2:Common repository for ENS+ lifecycle support • Approach 3:Adding a harmonised interface for trade

326.9 millions of ENS parts are expected from trade per year
Approach 1 – 2 options • Approach 1 – Option A: IT trader interfaces are to be operated by each and every MS. The MS architecture is fully decentralised without common IT components except CCN/CCN2 in order to streamline the exchange of data; • Approach 1 – Option B: a technically optimised version of Approach 1 – Option A. It introduces a central referential index that would help to find the required information at the right place;
Approach 2 – 1 option • IT trader interfaces are to be operated by each and every MS. • The ENS parts are filed and merged in a common place; they are availablefromthere to all MS. • A common repository containing complete ENS data provides the possibility of an effective and efficient implementation of different services such as ENS+ lifecycle services, Risk Management collaboration services and e-screening services. These services are consequently made available to all MS;
3 Options for Approach 3 • Option A:Filing to a selected office • Following legal rules, the EO file to a customs office which subsequently pushes data to the responsible customs office of entry. • Option B: Harmonised national interfaces • The EO has to address the MS trader interface in function of the FCOE or the presumed one. • Option C: Central Trader Interface • This option provides a central unique IT trader interface.
Approach 3 - Option A: Filing to one MS • AnEconomic Operator can lodge an ENS submission to any FCOE in the EU via the IT trader interface of the MS to which it is connected to following an assignment protocol; • The receiving IT trader interface will route the messages to the FCOE or the presumed one.
Approach 3 - Option B: Harmonised national interfaces • The offered IT trader interfaces across all MS are fully harmonised from business, semantic and IT technical viewpoint; • The Economic Operator has to address the IT trader interface of the MS in function of the FCOE or the presumed one.
Approach 3 - Option C: Central Trader Interface • This option provides a shared unique IT implementation of the trader interface. One single gateway for the IT communications between traders and customs.
While EU COM costs raise, MS costs significantly drop as of A2 and A3-C
Recommendations to CPG CPG endorsement requested for • Approach 2 and set up a Common Repository for mandatory use by all Member States. • as an "add-on" to the Common Repository, the possibility of collaboration among interested Member States with the support of the Commission to be applied for the development, implementation and operation of a Shared Trader Interface. • as an “add on” to the Common Repository, the introduction of a shared functionality for e-screening.

The Common Repository will be a commonly shared service developed and technically operated by the Commission on the basis of commonly agreed business rules and IT compliance defined in close cooperation with the Member States. • Operational responsabilities remain with MS.
