14. Article 4(3) of the Agreement on Co-operation and Mutual Administrative Assistance in Customs Matters between the European Community and Japan (CCMAAA)[3] calls for developing customs co-operation in order to facilitate trade.

15. Mutual recognition of Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programmes enhances end-to-end supply chain security and helps to increase international trade flows.

16. It is therefore appropriate, for the implementation of the Agreement and with a view to facilitating the work of economic operators and customs administrations, to establish this mutual recognition.

17. This mutual recognition is to be established by a decision of the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee (JCCC) established by the CCMAAA.

18. The Union should therefore take position in the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee as set out in the attached draft Decision.
