REGULATION (EU) 2025/13 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 19 December 2024

on the collection and transfer of advance passenger information for the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of terrorist offences and serious crime, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/818

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89 of 29 May 1989 on the definitive uniform arrangements for the collection of own resources accruing from value added tax (1), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Under Article 370 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (2), Member States which, at 1 January 1978, taxed the transactions listed in Annex X, Part A, may continue to tax those transactions; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(2) Under Article 371 of Directive 2006/112/EC, Member States which, at 1 January 1978, exempted the transactions listed in Annex X, Part B, may continue to exempt those transactions, in accordance with the conditions applying in the Member State concerned on that date; these transactions must be taken into account for the determination of the VAT resources base.
(3) With effect from 1 January 1991 the possibility afforded Member States of continuing to exempt transactions listed in point 13 of Annex F to the Sixth Council Directive 77/388/EEC (3) was terminated by virtue of Article 1, point 2(a) of Eighteenth Council Directive 89/465/EEC (4); consequently, the authorisation granted in this connection by the Commission for purposes of determining the VAT own resources base should also be discontinued.
(4) In the case of Germany, the Commission, on the basis of Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1553/89, adopted Decision 90/179/Euratom, EEC (5) authorising Germany, with effect from 1 January 1989, to use statistics for years earlier than the last year and not to take into account certain categories of transactions or to use certain approximate estimates for the calculation of the VAT own resources base.
(5) The Commission invited Germany to verify whether those authorisations granted to Germany with no explicit limitation in time, were still needed and to confirm this to the Commission; Germany confirmed that authorisation not to take into account the transactions mentioned in point 13 of Annex F to the Sixth Directive and that authorisation to use approximate estimates for the transactions mentioned in point 3 of Annex X, Part B to Directive 2006/112/EC were no longer needed; consequently, the authorisations granted in this connection by the Commission for purposes of determining the VAT own resources base should be discontinued.
(6) For the sake of clarity and transparency of Union rules, provisions that have become obsolete or have ceased to have effect should be repealed.
(7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Own Resources,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:


(1) Article 2, point 3 of Decision 90/179/Euratom, EEC is hereby deleted.
(2) Article 3, point 3 of Decision 90/179/Euratom, EEC is hereby deleted.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.
