In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Article 151(1) of Directive 2006/112/EC, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Those implementing powers should allow the Commission to establish an IT system which will keep track of the certificates issued, including certificates issued by eligible bodies or individuals and obtained by the suppliers for whom they are intended. Persons duly accredited by the Commission should be able to access the information that is exchanged and stored in the IT system only for the purpose of developing and maintaining that system. Member States should be responsible for the communication with that system regarding the fulfilment of the conditions for issuing a certificate. In order to meet their responsibilities, Member States should be provided with the means to interact with the Commission so as to minimise the effort required of them in respect of the development and maintenance of the IT system.
