Recital 39

(39) In order to facilitate customs controls, it is important to specify the information to be submitted to customs authorities where gases, products and equipment covered by this Regulation are imported or exported, as well as the tasks of customs authorities, and, where relevant, market surveillance authorities, when they implement the prohibitions and restrictions on imports or exports of those substances, products and equipment. Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 of the European Parliament and of the Council (16), which sets out rules on market surveillance and control of products entering the Union market, applies to the substances, products and equipment covered by this Regulation in so far as there are no specific provisions that regulate in a more specific manner particular aspects of market surveillance and enforcement. Where this Regulation lays down specific provisions, for example on customs controls, those more specific provisions prevail, thereby complementing the rules set out under Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. In order to ensure protection of the environment, this Regulation should apply to all forms of supply of fluorinated greenhouse gases that are subject to this Regulation, including distance sales as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020.
