26Both the very purpose of the Customs Code, as stated inter alia in recital 5 in the preamble thereto, as being to ensure the correct application of the duties provided for therein (see, to that effect, judgment in Greencarrier Freight Services Latvia, C‑571/12, EU:C:2014:102, paragraph 32), and the specific logic of Article 78 thereof, which is to bring the customs procedure into line with the actual situation by correcting material errors or omissions as well as errors of interpretation of the applicable law (see judgments in Terex Equipment and Others, C‑430/08 and C‑431/08, EU:C:2010:15, paragraph 56, and Südzucker and Others, C‑608/10, C‑10/11 and C‑23/11, EU:C:2012:444, paragraph 47), weigh against an interpretation of that article which would preclude generally the customs authorities from amending or conducting other post-clearance examinations of customs declarations in order to regularise the situation.
