Establishing the Union Customs Code and the European Union Customs Authority
7 September 2026 | Council adopted its 1st-reading position
What's next: Parliament's 2nd reading: 3 months (+1 on request) to approve the text (the act is then adopted), amend it, or reject it — amendment or rejection needs an absolute majority of all MEPs (361 of 720). Approval is likely here: the position reflects a negotiated deal.
Summary: The proposal aims to create a new set of customs rules for trade across the EU and establish a dedicated authority to manage and enforce these customs procedures. This would streamline how goods are processed and taxed when moving between EU countries and their borders.
