New deadline for the issuing/denial of the AEO certificates confirmed

The Italian Customs Agency, with the Communiqué Prot. n. 38141/RU of 17 March 2010 confirms what anticipated with the Communiqué Prot. n. 176591/RU of 24 December 2009, i.e.: the new deadline for the issuing or the denial of the AEO certificate, starting from 1° January 2010, will corespond to that indicated by the article 14 o, par. 2 of Reg. (EEC) N. 2454/93 (120 calendar days + further 60 days), as amended by the EU Reg. N. 197/2010 (see our article). Allegedly, the Table annexed to the Regulation of 16 December 2008 establishing deadlines and responsibles for administrative proceeding falling within the competence of the Customs Agency, will be therefore updated with the correct references to the new deadline.
