(5a) Whereas the information obtained from the Commission's impact assessment on the amendment of Regulation (EC) No 515/97 (SWD(2013)0482 final) in relation to the scale of the problem shows that fraud resulting from false declaration of origin alone may amount to a yearly loss of as much as EUR 100 million for the EU27. In 2011, Member States reported 1 905 cases of detected fraud and other irregularities amounting to damage of EUR 107.7 million, related to inaccurate description of goods. This is only damage detected by the Member States and the Commission. The actual scale of the problem might be substantially higher, since no information is available on an estimated 30 000 detected cases of potential fraud.

(6) Given the increase in the scale of customs fraud, it is crucial to improve detection and prevention simultaneously at national and European level. The detection of fraud, identification of risk trends and the implementation of effective risk management procedures depend significantly on the identification and cross-analysis of relevant operational data sets. It is necessary therefore to establish, at European Union level, athe most complete possible directory containing data on import, export and transit of goods by land, sea or air, including transit of goods within the Member States and direct export. For that purpose, Member States should allow systematic replication of data on import, export and transit of goods from the systems operated by the Commission and should supply to the Commission data relating to transit of goods within a Member State and direct export without delay. The Commission should each year submit the results obtained from this directory to the European Parliament and to the Council.
