The Commission has today adopted the Implementing Decision on the new Union Customs Code (UCC) Work Programme which replaces the one in force since 2019.
In response to the delays and recurrent requests for derogations by the Member States against the dates set in the 2019 version of the UCC Work Programme, the Commission produced an analysis and strategy that envisages a longer window for the implementation of certain UCC systems and distinguishes between their core and non-core elements.
The objective of this new strategy is to provide more flexibility to Member States, while maintaining the unchanged overall deadlines mandated by the UCC.
