(5) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 612/2013 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(6) In order to align the application date of this Regulation with the application date for a new version of the computerised system established by Decision No 1152/2003/EC, this Regulation should apply from 13 February 2020.
