The EU Common Entry Gate (EU-CEG) is an EU-wide platform that serves to record the information regulated in the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD II) and the TNRSG.
This system ensures the EU-wide availability of this information for authorities, participating institutions and, subsequently, for citizens. Only products that are correctly and completely registered in the EU-CEG and are subject to the scope of regulation of the TNRSG are also marketable on the Austrian market. Electronic cigarettes and refill containers (liquids) may be placed on the market at the earliest six months after full registration.

Companies can find general information on the EU CEG and assistance with the registration and notification process on the European Commission's website. The data submitted will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 to ensure the highest possible level of protection.

To make it easier for you to register, we have summarised further information and explanations for you. These can be found in the Downloads sector.

The Ministry of Health also provides information on the EU-CEG reporting obligations on an ongoing basis.
