(7) The exchanges of digital information through EU CSW-CERTEX should cover Union non-customs formalities laid down in Union legislation that customs authorities are entrusted to enforce. Those formalities impose different obligations for the import, export or transit of certain goods, and their verification through customs controls is fundamentally important to the effective functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs. EU CSW-CERTEX should cover digitalised regulatory formalities laid down in Union legislation and managed by partner competent authorities in electronic Union non-customs systems, storing the relevant information from all Member States required for goods clearance. It is therefore appropriate to identify the Union non-customs formalities which should be subject to digital cooperation through EU CSW-CERTEX. In particular, EU CSW- CERTEX should initially cover sanitary and phytosanitary requirements, rules regulating the import of organic products, environmental requirements in relation to fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone depleting substances, and formalities related to the import of cultural goods. EU CSW-CERTEX should integrate other non-customs formalities as soon as the appropriate technical and functional specifications are in place.

(10) Any processing of personal data in EU CSW-CERTEX shall be conducted in an appropriately safe and secure environment with a view to preventing unauthorised disclosure and alteration. To that end, suitable organisational and technical cybersecurity measures should be adopted, including and deploying in particular encryption measures. Furthermore, any processing of personal data should facilitate information sharing between the national environments for customs and Union non- customs systems without any storing of data. It should also transform data, where necessary and taking into account the need to respect confidentiality, to enable information exchange between both digital domains. The information technology facilities used for data transformation should be located in the Union.

Recital 13
(13) The increased digitalisation of customs and Union non-customs regulatory formalities applicable to international trade has opened up new opportunities for Member States to improve the digital cooperation between customs and partner competent authorities. In pursuit of those priorities, several Member States have started to develop frameworks for national single window environments for customs. Those initiatives differ substantially depending on the level of existing customs information technology architecture, priorities and cost structures. It is therefore necessary to require Member States to establish and operate national single window environments for customs for Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. Those environments should constitute the national components of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs, enabling safe and secure electronic information sharing and collaboration between customs, partner competent authorities and economic operators to ensure compliance with and efficient enforcement of customs legislation and Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. In lineorder to realise an effective and uniform application of this Regulation, the Commission shall provide guidance concerning common technical and functional specifications for the integration of the relevant non-customs formalities within thise national single window environments for customs. As a result, national single windows should also be interoperable between each other in order to cater for the validation of formalities which, although issued by national administrations, are valid throughout the Union. . In line with these objectives, the national single window environments for customs should enable the automated verification by customs authorities of formalities in respect of which data is transmitted from the respective Union non-customs system through EU CSW-CERTEX. The national single window environments for customs should also allow partner competent authorities to monitor and control the quantities of authorised goods (‘quantity management’) that have been released by customs through the Union. This should be ensured by providing the necessary clearance information to the Union non- customs systems through EU CSW- CERTEX. In practical terms, quantity management at Union level is necessary to enable a better enforcement of non- customs regulatory formalities by automatically and consistently monitoring the consumption of authorised quantities for the release of goods, avoiding their overuse or mishandling.

Recital 14
(14) To further simplify goods clearance processes for economic operators and to reduce administrative burdens, the national single window environments for customs should become a single channel to communicate with customs and partner competent authorities. Adequate support and information on the processes and technical requirements related to the use of such single channel should be provided to economic operators via easily accessible and user-friendly national websites. The Union non- customs formalities subject to this additional facilitation measure are a subset of the overarching formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX. The Commission should identify those formalities progressively by assessing the fulfilment of a set of criteria relevant to trade facilitation, taking into account their legal and technical feasibility. In order to further enhance trade facilitation, it should be possible to use the national single window environments for customs as a platform for coordinating controls between customs authorities and partner competent authorities in line with Article 47(1) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013.

Recital 26
(26) The Commission should regularly monitor the functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs to evaluate the performance of EU CSW- CERTEX and to ensure the efficient enforcement of Union non-customs formalities covered by EU CSW-CERTEX, in particular with the view to integrate other non-customs formalities. The Commission should submit regular assessment reports on the functioning of the EU Single Window Environment for Customs to the European Parliament and to the Council. Those reports should take stock of progress, identify areas for improvement and propose recommendations for the future in light of progress made towards an improved digital collaboration between customs and partner competent authorities involved in goods clearance to ensure simplified processes for economic operators and the efficient enforcement of Union non-customs formalities.
