The introduction, pursuant to Decision No 70/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [3], of the electronic customs systems in 2011, by which documents supporting imports and exports are no longer kept by customs authorities but by economic operators, has led to delays in the conduct of European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) investigations in the customs area, as OLAF relies on those authorities to help it obtain such documents.
Mar gheall ar thabhairt isteach na gcóras ríomhchustaim in 2011, de bhun Chinneadh Uimh. 70/2008/CE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle [3], trína gcoinníonn oibreoirí eacnamaíocha seachas údaráis chustaim doiciméid tacaíochta d'allmhairí agus d'onnmhairí, tá moill ar imscrúduithe na hOifige Eorpaí Frith-Chalaoise (OLAF) i réimse an chustaim, ós rud é go mbraitheann OLAF ar na húdaráis sin chun cabhrú leis doiciméid den sórt sin a fháil.
