What changed: Under the Turkey-EU Authorised Economic Operator (AEO/YYS) Mutual Recognition Agreement, technical work to electronically share AEO certificate and status data between the two customs administrations has reached its final stage but is not yet final; firms are now asked to approve this sharing.
Who is affected
Firms holding Authorised Economic Operator (AEO/YYS) status.
What it means for your business
For firms using the YYS E-Application System, this means that unless they approve sharing their certificate data with EU customs, they will not benefit from the facilities of this agreement or other mutual recognition agreements planned for later.
What to do
AEO-status firms should log into the YYS E-Application System and complete the approval text; since the process is not yet final, approvals can be updated later in the same system.
When it takes effect
Source gives no date; it states technical work has reached its final stage but the process is not final.
