New EU Regulation 389/2012 replaces current procedures on the movement of excise goods with an improved electronic one.
The new regulation In the EU, Regulation 2073/2004/EC on administrative co-operation in the field of excise duties has provided a common system whereby, in order to ensure the correct application of legislation on excise duties and to combat their evasion and ensuing distortions in the internal market, Member States assist each other and co-operate with the European Commission. It was decided in 2011 that a number of changes needed to be made to that regulation in view of experiences to date and of recent developments. Given the number of changes seen to be necessary, it was decided that the 2004 Regulation should be entirely replaced rather than amended.
Accordingly, on 8 May 2012, the Council published Regulation 389/2012/EU. This contains new rules that remove the need for manual collection of operation statistics on the movement of excise goods, replacing the current procedures with an improved electronic one.
Computerising the information exchange between Member States on the excise of products (such as alcohol, tobacco and energy products) should make it easier and faster to collect excise duties that are due and improve Member States’ controls on the revenue.
What stays the same Exchange of information in excise matters is generally necessary in order to establish a true picture of the excise affairs of certain persons, but Member States are not at liberty to engage in “fishing expeditions” nor to request information that is unlikely to be relevant to the excise affairs of a given person or ascertainable group of persons.
For the purposes of a proper co-ordination of information flow, the provisions of Regulation 2073/2004/EU are maintained as regards a single point of contact in each Member State. Since more direct contacts between the authorities and officials of the Member States might be necessary for reasons of efficiency, the provisions on delegation and the designation of competent officials are also to be kept.
For the effective monitoring of excise procedures in cross-border movement, it has also been decided to continue to provide for the possibility of simultaneous controls by Member States and for the presence of officials of one State in the territory of another, within the framework of administrative co-operation.
The exchange of information with non-EU countries has proven beneficial for the correct application of legislation on excise duties and this too should be maintained, within the EU’s laws on data protection.
What changes The new regulation, which applied from 1 July 2012, enables Member States to better co-ordinate the use of the computerised Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS), which was introduced in 2010. The EMCS monitors the movement of excise goods for which duties still have to be paid. Automated procedures replace manual procedures wherever this information is electronically available within the EMCS. This, for example, includes information on road controls or interruptions in the movement of goods. Member States will not be entitled to refuse the provision of information solely on the basis of national rules on banking secrecy.
Feedback is an appropriate means to ensure continual improvement of the quality of the information exchanged and Regulation 389/2012/EU consequently provides a framework for the Member States to report back on how the system is working.
Member States must waive all claims for the reimbursement of expenses incurred in applying this regulation, with the exception of claims in respect of fees paid to experts. Traders should be able to speedily operate the verifications necessary for movements of excise goods. They will therefore be provided with the possibility of having the validity of excise numbers confirmed electronically through a central register operated by the Commission and fed by the information contained in national databases.
A special commemorative whisky bottle has been launched to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The country’s oldest registered whisky distillery, The English Distillery, has teamed up with Norfolk charity Walking with the Wounded for this initiative.
The single malt whisky, aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and virgin oak casks, is limited to just 3,000 bottles.
Each decanter is hand-bottled at the Norfolk distillery, based at Roudham near East Harling.
The collaboration aims to raise funds for the charity, which supports the UK’s veterans struggling to adapt to civilian life.
From each bottle sold, £2 will be donated to the charity.
Kate Tabain, director of fundraising and communications at Walking with the Wounded, said: “We are thrilled to once again be partnering with The English Distillery to commemorate the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
“Not only will the bottle acknowledge the sacrifices of so many to ensure peace in Europe, but all donations raised will be used to support veterans, whose service has maintained that peace.”
Katy Nelstrop, from The English Distillery, said: “We’re honoured to collaborate with Walking with the Wounded on this special bottle release.”
Aims to update and requalify existing first aiders to the required level of skill and knowledge in first aid, in accordance with the requirements of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Successful delegates will be awarded a certificate of competence accredited by Qualsafe Awards who are recognised by Ofqual. It is valid for three years.

Which imports have recently been subject to reinforced border checks?
On 5 June 2012, the EU updated its list of imports of plant origin subject to reinforced border checks from 1 July 2012.
Controls performed at EU borders have recently been very successful and, consequently, the EU decided to adjust the intensity of controls for some products, while adding others to the list of imports of plant origin that are subject to an increased level of official controls at national level.
As a result of the improved level of compliance with EU requirements for pesticide residues, the control frequency for listed vegetables from the Dominican Republic is to be reduced from 50% to 20%. In light of the high level of non-compliance reported by Member States in 2011 in relation to Indian okra, the frequency of controls is to be increased from 10% to 50%.
Concerning new listings, due to the possible presence of aflatoxins, nutmeg and mace from Indonesia are to be added to the list of imports which are subject to reinforced border checks.
