(71)Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 establishes a legal framework for the electronic communication of regulatory information between the economic operators concerned and competent authorities in relation to the transport of goods on the territory of the Union and covers parts of this Regulation in its provisions. In order to ensure consistency between the instruments, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2020/1056. In order to avoid there being an absence of implementing rules pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 in relation to the definition, accessing and processing in electronic format of information requirements pursuant to this Regulation before the date of application of the mandatory electronic data interchange under this Regulation, the amendment to Regulation (EU) 2020/1056 should apply retroactively from the date of application of this Regulation.
