The European Commission adopted the Regulation n. 273/2009 of 2 April 2009, published on the Official Journal of the European Union L 91 of 3.4.2009, which introduces measures derogating from certain provisions of the Commission Regulation (EEC) n. 2454/93, establishing the implementing provisions of the Community Customs Code. The new Regulation sets a transitional period, from 1th July 2009 to 31th December 2010, during which the presentation to the customs offices of the summary declarations of entry (“pre-arrival declarations" or “ENS”) and of exit (“pre-departure declarations"), will be made optional.
