Key points

The proposal aligns the Customs Information System with modern EU data protection rules to ensure consistent privacy standards.
The standard period for retaining personal data in the system is reduced to a general rule of three years, with a possible two-year extension in specific cases.
Personal data can only be entered into the system if there are reasonable and objective grounds to suggest criminal activity.
The European Data Protection Supervisor will be responsible for monitoring data processing and must conduct audits at least every three years.
