The European Commission has issued a corrigendum to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/249, correcting linguistic errors in the German language version of the act that sets common data requirements for customs information exchange and storage. The corrigendum, published on 16 July 2026, amends three instances where the phrase 'in deren Namen' (on whose behalf) is replaced with 'für deren Rechnung' (for whose account) for data elements concerning the exporter, importer, and identification number of the importer in re-export and import declarations.
The correction ensures that the German version aligns with the original intent of the regulation and other language versions, preventing misinterpretation of responsibility for customs declarations. The change clarifies that the data refers to the person for whose account the declaration is made, rather than a representative acting on behalf of another.
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/249, adopted on 30 November 2023 and published in the Official Journal on 12 February 2024, amends Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 to establish common data requirements for the exchange and storage of information under Union customs rules. The corrigendum does not alter the substance of the regulation but ensures legal accuracy and uniformity in the German text.
The document is a routine technical correction with no policy implications. It affects stakeholders using the German version of the customs data requirements, primarily customs authorities and economic operators involved in import and export declarations. The correction prevents potential legal disputes or administrative errors arising from ambiguous wording. No further institutional follow-up is expected as the corrigendum is a final administrative act.
