Annex contains 55 new products. The uncollected duties corresponding to these suspensions, calculated on the basis of requesting Member State projections for the period 2022 to 2026, amount to EUR 30 203 402 per year.

On the basis of the existing statistics for preceding years, it would appear, however, necessary to increase this amount by an average factor, estimated at 1,8 to take account of imports into other Member States using the same suspensions. This means uncollected duties of some EUR 54 366 124 per year.

Eight products have been withdrawn from this Annex reflecting the reintroduction of customs duties. This represents an increase of EUR 14 640 766 per year in the collection of duties, as estimated on the basis of 2021 statistics.

On the basis of the above, the impact on the loss of revenue for the EU budget resulting from this Regulation is estimated at 54 366 124 – 14 640 766 = EUR 39 725 358 (gross amount, including collection costs) x 0,75 = EUR 29 794 018 per year.
