ANNEX IISupplementary provisions
ANNEX II ‘3.8. DELIVERY ASPECTS The delivery of EU ETDs must be regulated by the Member State issuing the contract together with the producer. As complete yet non-personalised EU ETDs are considered to be high-risk security items, the transport must be of the highest level possible. A generic risk assessment must be carried out and documented for each type of transport and any additional security measures assessed to be necessary must be implemented (e.g. armoured vehicle, accompanying vehicle). These assessments must be reviewed whenever there is a change in the relevant circumstances. All loading and unloading activities – including delivery to the receiving party – must be monitored under dual control, that is, involving two or more persons. The serial numbers of the EU ETDs being transported must be provided to the Member State issuing the contract via electronic means prior to departure. The status and position of vehicles carrying security printing products should be checked at regular intervals during transport. There must be at least two independent systems, which ensure effective communication with external partners in the event of any disruption to the transport. Any irregularity (e.g. the failure of any party involved to meet these minimum transport requirements, an attack on the transport or a loss by any cause during the transport) must be reported to the producing company immediately. There must be no access to the secure products from inside the driver’s cab and the compartment in which the goods are transported must be made from metal and entirely enclosed (no curtain-sided vehicles) with access for loading and un-loading via a locked door. Keys to the locks must not be carried inside the vehicle. Any contract for the delivery of blank EU ETD forms and stickers must provide that any theft or loss of blank uniform EU ETD forms and stickers during the delivery process is immediately reported to the Member State issuing the contract, including the serial numbers concerned. The Member States issuing the contract must report such theft or loss to Interpol’s database on Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD), without prejudice to any reporting obligations under Article 38(2)(k) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1862 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) .’.
