· Official examinations
The procedure to perform the official examinations is also described.
Produce checks are made at the point of destination, as are document inspections, or at the site of production and at least once a year.
· Phytosanitary certificates
A phytosanitary certificate, as shown in the model in Annex VII, part A, may be issued if the following conditions are satisfied:
· that plants are free of any harmful organisms listed in Annex I, part A;
· that the plants and plant products listed in Annex II, part A are not contaminated by the detailed harmful organisms; and
· that the plants and plant products listed in Annex IV part A, comply the special requirements indicated.
Some specific information should be considered (language, stamp, signature, botanical names, date of elaboration in relation to date of product delivery, etc).
If special requirements as detailed in Annex IV, part A apply, the phytosanitary certificate shall have been issued in the country of origin, except in the case of wood and other exceptions.
The certificate shall be issued no earlier than 14 days after the covered plants left the third country.
Citrus fruit originating from Argentina and Brazil shall be accompanied by a certificate to ensure that it complies with specific provisions to ensure it is free from citrus canker and citrus black spot. The specific requirements are laid down in the legislation. This will be reviewed following the import season and a report will be issued by importing Member States no later than 31 December 2004.
· Plant passports
A plant passport shall be issued rather than a phytosanitary certificate if the following conditions are satisfied:
· that plants are free of any harmful organisms listed in Annex I, part A;
· that the plants and plant products listed in Annex II, part A are not contaminated by the detailed harmful organisms;
· that the plants and plant products listed in Annex IV part A, comply the special requirements indicated; and

· Reduced frequency import controls
In principle, as of 1 January 2005, each consignment, or each lot in a multi-lot consignment must be subjected to documentary, identity and phytosanitary controls. However, plant health checks may also be carried out at reduced frequency if there is evidence that the products comply with the plant health requirements of Directive 2000/29/EC, assuming implementing rules are met. For consignments to be subjected to reduced frequency checks, the following must be true:
§ the number of consignments of the product introduced into the EU over three years is greater than 200 per year;
§ the number of consignments for which inspections have been carried out is greater than 600; and
§ no more than 1 % of total number of consignments inspected breached phytosanitary rules.
EU Member States must apply for reduced frequency controls on a product. The level of the reduced frequency shall be based on:
§ the number of consignments which were found infected by harmful organisms;
§ the mobility of the harmful organisms; and
§ the number of consignments subjected to physical plant health inspections.
The reduced frequency is expressed as the minimum percentage of plant health checks that may be carried out by the Member States on the product concerned. The minimum percentage applies to all consignments imported into all Member States. The Commission shall publish the list of products which may be subjected to plant health checks at reduced frequency, as well as the level of reduced frequency laid down for each product.
· Inspections at a point other than the point of entry into the EU
In principle, all controls (documentary, identity and plant health) must be carried out at the point of entry of the products into the EU. For non-EU goods in transit, the identity and plant health checks may be made, as of 1 January 2005, by the official body of destination if certain rules are met:
· the importer or the ‘applicant’ (= person responsible for the premises where the checks are to be carried out) must obtain the approval of the official inspection body for checks to be carried out at an ‘approved place of inspection’;
· the ‘approved place of inspection’ is :
- in the case of transit of non-EU goods- the premises of the official body of destination OR an approved place close to these premises ;
- in other cases- a place of destination approved by the inspection authorities and the customs authorities of the place of destination.
· the packaging of the consignment and the means of transportation used, shall be closed or sealed so that the concerned products can not infest or infect during transport to the place of inspection;
· the consignment shall be accompanied by a ‘Plant Health Movement Document’;
· goods other than non-EU goods in transit shall be stored at the place of inspection, separated from EU goods and from infested consignments.
· importers must notify the introduction of products that may be inspected at an approved place of inspection, sufficiently in advance to the relevant official body of destination;
· if the point of entry and the approved place of inspection are situated in different Member States, the consignment may be sent to, and inspected at, an approved place of inspection on the basis of an agreement between the responsible official bodies of the Member States concerned; and
· if the products pass the controls at the approved place of inspection, the duly stamped Plant Health Movement Document shall be presented to the customs authorities, enabling the goods to be placed under the relevant customs procedure. If the products are refused, they shall remain under Customs supervision until the re-export of the products.
