For the next long-term EU budget 2021-2027, the Commission is proposing measures to make tax and customs co-operation between member states better and more efficient. Continued funding of these programmes will help the EU to progress inoffering businesses unfettered and easy access to the EU's Single Market so that trade can flourish, protect citizens from dangerous goods entering the Union at our external borders and ensure that member states are equipped to fight tax avoidance and tax evasion.

Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said: "Protecting the European Union's customs territory and implementing our common rules on taxation require strong cooperation between the relevant national authorities. Our new Customs and Fiscalis programmes will help to make that happen. At minimal cost, they provide a true European added value, offering unprecedented advantages to Member States' tax and customs authorities as they work together in the interests of our citizens and businesses."

The Commission is proposing a continued financial commitment of €950 million for the EU's customs programme and €270m for the EU's Fiscalis programme, representing just 0.07% and 0.02% of the next EU budget respectively.
