requests) along with a copy of the relevant AAD(s). It is
recommended that Local Compliance/LBS officers also copy completed

requests) along with a copy of the relevant supporting
documentation e.g. AADs, CMRs, movement / sales schedules, copy
weighbridge tickets, etc. On the EMA form, you must provide a clear
explanation of the reasons for your request and set out specific

Pre-arranged exchanges of information & joint controls,
which could include:-

(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the
Freedom of Information Act 2000)If the ACCT support your
request they will contact the CLO who will propose the exercise to
the OMS CLO on your behalf. If it is agreed then for each movement
to be verified you will need to fax a copy of the completed AADs
(as soon as available) with a completed fax header for the ACCT.
The requests will be sent out as EWS-e requests to the OMS through
the NVC who are the ‘gateway’ with OMS. The fax header
is available at the following link:

Use of EWS-e for energy products (e.g. oils) and tobacco
products:
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the
Freedom of Information Act 2000)If you want to use EWS-e you
should contact the NVC in the first instance providing them with
the same information as outlined above. The NVC will forward this
to the CLO, who will approach the OMS CLO on your behalf for
suitable requests. If it is agreed with the OMS then you will need
to fax a copy of the completed AADs (as soon as available) with a
completed a fax header to the NVC who will forward the information
to the OMS as EWS-e requests. Fax header available at the following

You should provide as much information as possible on the
specific risks relating to the movement
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the
Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Joint Controls with OMS: joint controls
(Simultaneous or Multilateral) involve participating MS undertaking
agreed and usually coordinated controls within their own fiscal
territory. They could be done in a number of ways depending on the
nature of the case and the specific controls that you are
proposing. The use of joint controls will be considered where a
risk is more effectively dealt with by MS working together rather
than in isolation, as the number of this type of control, which can
be run at the same time, has a limit. Priority will be given to
those proposals involving the highest risk targets.
If you have any proposals for joint controls which are at the
initial stage of development, contact the Intel team relevant to
your excise product advising them of the idea and background
concerning risks etc. These teams will also be considering the
potential for joint activity with OMS on an ongoing basis, and may
be able to provide some advice on your idea and will be aware of it
when considering ongoing or future contact they may be aware of
with OMS. Discussions concerning joint controls can also be made
informally by UK officers in advance of a formal proposal being
made through the CLO to the OMS. Remember if you have initial
discussions with officials from an OMS and they involve specific
excise information they must be made through an appropriate
‘gateway’ (See Guidance Note 1).
