EC UPDATE — AJIndex

Abstract

No customs documentation will be required for the movement of goods inside the Community. Thus new arrangements will have to be made for the elimination of controls at internal frontiers and for consistent management of external frontiers. However, the member states retain the power of control over their territories subject to the principle of non-discrimination. Some exceptions are made in respect of Spain and Portugal for the duration of the transitional period, and baggage checks on flights and sea crossings within the EC as well as the special provisions regarding counterfeit goods and illegal drug traffic.
