(1) The Customs Convention on the international transport of goods under cover of TIR Carnets (TIR Convention) of 14 November 1975 was approved on behalf of the Community by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2112/78 of 25 July 1978[1]and entered into force in the Community on 20 June 1983[2].

(2) In January 2007 the Administrative Committee for the TIR Convention decided that in order to cooperate efficiently within the Public-Private Partnership some amendments to the TIR Convention should be implemented to provide for a transparent system of financing the UNECE Secretariat and the TIR Executive Board. These amendments concern the linguistic changes as well as clearly describe the procedure for the calculation of an amount per TIR Carnet.

(3) All Member States expressed their positive opinion as regards the amendment proposal. The draft produced by the Administrative Committee to the TIR Convention was already discussed within the Customs Code Committee and it was preliminarily approved.

(4) The Community position concerning the proposed amendment should be determined.
