Recital 44

(44) Effective enforcement in relation to products placed on the Union market, whether domestically produced or imported, is essential for achieving the aims of this Regulation. Therefore, once the Commission has set up the registry, customs authorities should have direct access to it via the EU Single Window Environment for Customs established by Regulation (EU) 2022/2399 of the European Parliament and of the Council (39). The role of customs authorities should be to verify as a minimum that the unique registration identifier of a product which is required to be provided or made available to them and the relevant commodity code correspond to the data that are stored in the registry. This would allow customs authorities to verify that a digital product passport for imported products exists. Where appropriate, the Commission should lay down in its implementing act on the registry the necessary obligations for economic operators to keep the data stored in the registry up to date.
