Det er derfor nødvendigt, at der i kodeksen fastsættes retlige rammer for gennemførelsen af denne beslutning, navnlig det retsprincip, at alle told- og handelstransaktioner skal behandles elektronisk, og at informations- og kommunikationssystemer til toldekspeditioner skal tilbyde de samme faciliteter for økonomiske operatører i alle medlemsstaterne.
It is therefore necessary to establish in the Code the legal framework within which that Decision can be implemented, in particular the legal principle that all customs and trade transactions are to be handled electronically and that information and communication systems for customs operations are to offer, in each Member State, the same facilities to economic operators.
