The Commission shall ensure that in work on the Community components of the EMCS particular attention is paid to reusing as much of the new computerised transit system (NCTS) as possible, and to ensuring that the EMCS is compatible with and - if technically possible - integrated into the NCTS, with the objective of creating an integrated computerised system to monitor both the movements of excisable goods within the Community and the movements of excisable goods and goods subject to other duties and charges coming from or going to thi ...[+++]rd countries.

In a second stage, however, it should gradually replace national surveillance systems at land and maritime borders, providing a cost-efficient solution, including e. g. a combination of radar and satellite surveillance at European level, taking into account on-going developments realised in the framework of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. EUROSUR will benefit from experience at national and European level with similar surveillance systems; possible synergies with existing European surveillance systems for other purposes should also be explored. In the maritime domain, the vessel monitoring system SafeSeaNet is curr ...[+++]ently under development together with the Member States. The system aims at providing information on ships' movements and their cargoes. EUROSUR might add to the effectiveness of SafeSeaNet, if the systems recognise each other and cooperate. Finally, the possibility for participation of neighbouring third countries in EUROSUR should be considered.

This is the aim of the Commission proposal, by means of a real-time computerised messaging system – EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System) – to track the movements of goods, also integrated with the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS), which is also in the process of being brought in.

1a. The Commission shall ensure that in work on the Community components of the computerised system every attention is paid to reusing as much of the new computerised transit system (NCTS) as possible and ensuring that the EMCS system is compatible with, and - if technically possible - integrated into, the NCTS with the objective of creating an integrated computer system for the surveillance both of intra-Community movements of excisable goods and of movements of excisable goods and goods subject to other duties and charges coming fro ...[+++]m or going to third countries.

(3) It is necessary to have a computerised system for monitoring the movement of excisable goods, such as will allow Member States to obtain real-time information on those movements and to carry out the requisite checks, including checks during movement of products, within the meaning of Article 15 of Directive 92/12/EEC.
