Short history of activity:
Romania's accession to the European Union imposed a series of changes in the production of statistics on external trade in goods, changes foreseen both through Community legislation in this area and through national legislation. When Romania became a member of the European Union (EU) and part of the Single Market, customs control on the movement of goods between Romania and other EU member states has disappeared and exporters and importers had no obligation to complete the customs declarations for these exchanges of goods. Since before accession, external trade statistics was based on data from customs declarations for import and export, upon accession to the European Union this source of data for statistics on the movement of goods between EU countries has no longer been available. Considering the importance of external trade statistics in the European Union it was created and developed a statistical system for collecting such information. The statistical system, called Intrastat has the main characteristic the collection of statistical data directly from the actual economic operators that make exchange of goods with EU Member States.
