+++ European Union's Taxation and Customs Union General
Directorate awarded a €12 M project, to INTRASOFT International
+++
EU's Taxation and Customs Union DG, awarded to Intrasoft
International, a member of INTRACOM Group, a framework project for the
implementation of the "EMCS - Excise Movement Control System".
The EMCS project, budgeted at €12 M, concerns
the handling throughout the EU of manufactured tobacco, alcohol and alcoholic
beverages, and energy products. The contract's duration is three years
and Intrasoft International is the sole contractor of the project.
In undertaking this project, Intrasoft International
establishes its position as one of the key players in the field of e-customs
services provision in Europe.
The overall objective of EMCS is to prevent fraud and
evasion, as a result of cross-border cooperation between Customs and in
particular through the exchange of information on "Excisable"
products movements.
The purpose of the EMCS project is to produce the "Community
components" i.e. the system specifications, which will be common
for all EU member states, and all the related software applications. At
the same time, EMCS will provide the necessary support services to the
Member States, including consultancy on all Excise issues, training, on-site
missions for providing expertise, helpdesk services for answering requests
for information, etc.
The emerging benefits include the simplification of
procedures for operators (e.g. alcohol producers or distributors) by standardizing
and harmonizing the entailed business activities and information flows
between these operators and the Customs.
EMCS is a highly visible and most critical project for
the EU since it directly addresses the sensitive areas of the stabilization
of the Member States' tax revenues, and the smooth functioning and development
of the Internal Market.
