The inspection requirements of this Annex shall apply without prejudice of the measures adopted by the Member States necessary to ensure traceability of the products, as referred to in Article 9(12)(a) and (c), during the entire production chain, and to ensure that the provisions of this Regulation are satisfied.
[F19The operators already in activity at the date mentioned in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2491/2001 shall also be subject to the provisions referred to in point 3 and to the initial inspection provisions foreseen in sections A, B, C, D and E of the specific provisions of this Annex.]
Textual Amendments
When the inspection arrangements are first implemented, the operator responsible must draw up:
a full description of the unit and/or premises and/or activity,
all the practical measures to be taken at the level of the unit and/or premises and/or activity to ensure compliance with this Regulation, and in particular with the requirements in this Annex.
The description and practical measures concerned must be contained in a declaration, signed by the responsible operator.
In addition, this declaration must include an undertaking by the operator:
to perform the operations in accordance with Articles 5, 6, 6a and, where relevant, Article 11 [F9and/or Regulation (EC) No 223/2003] ,
to accept, in the event of infringement or irregularities, the enforcement of the measures referred to in Article 9(9) and, where relevant, in Article 10(3), and
to accept to inform in writing the buyers of the product in order to ensure that the indications referring to the organic production method are removed from this production.
This declaration must be verified by the inspection body or authority that issues a report identifying the possible deficiencies and non-compliances with the provisions of this Regulation. The operator must countersign this report and take the necessary corrective measures.
[F19The operator responsible must notify any change in the description or of the practical measures referred to in point 3 and in the initial inspection provisions foreseen in sections A, B, C, D and E of the specific provisions of this Annex to the inspection body or authority in due time.]
The inspection body or authority must make a full physical inspection, at least once a year, of the production/preparation units or other premises. The inspection body or authority may take samples for testing of products not authorised under this Regulation or for checking production techniques not in conformity with this Regulation. Samples may also be taken and analysed for detecting possible contamination by unauthorised products. However, such analysis must be carried out where the use of unauthorised products is suspected. An inspection report must be drawn up after each visit, countersigned by the responsible person of the unit or his representative.
Moreover, the inspection body or authority shall carry out random inspection visits, announced or not. The visits shall cover in particular those holdings or situations where specific risk or exchange of products from organic production with other products may exist.
Stock and financial records must be kept in the unit or premises, to enable the operator and the inspection body or authority to trace:
the supplier and, where different, the seller, or the exporter of the products,
the nature and the quantities of agricultural products as referred to in Article 1 delivered to the unit and, where relevant, of all materials bought and the use of such materials [F9and, where relevant, the composition of the compound feedingstuffs] ,
the nature, the quantities and the consignees and, where different, the buyers of any products as referred to in Article 1, which have left the unit or the first consignee's premises or storage facilities,
any other information required by the inspection body or authority for the purpose of proper inspection.
The data in the accounts must be documented with appropriate justification documents.
The accounts must demonstrate the balance between the input and the output.
The operators shall ensure that products as referred to in Article 1 may be transported to other units, including wholesalers and retailers, only in appropriate packaging, containers or vehicles closed in such a manner that substitution of the content cannot be achieved without manipulation or damage of the seal and provided with a label stating, without prejudice to any other indications required by law:
the name and address of the operator and, where different, of the owner or seller of the product;
[F19the name of the product or a description of the compound feedingstuff accompanied by a reference to the organic production method in accordance with, as applicable, Article 5 of this Regulation or Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 223/2003.]
the name and/or the code number of the inspection body or authority to which the operator is subject; and
where relevant, the lot identification mark according to a marking system either approved at national level or agreed with the inspection body or authority and which permits to link the lot with the accounts referred to in point 6.
The information under (a), (b), (c) and (d) can also be presented on an accompanying document, if such document can be undeniably linked with the packaging, container or vehicle of the product. This accompanying document shall include information on the supplier and/or the transporter.
However, the closing of packaging, containers or vehicles is not required where:
transportation is direct between a producer and another operator who are both subject to the inspection system referred to in Article 9, and
the products are accompanied by a document giving the information required under the previous subparagraph, and
the inspection body or authority of both the expediting and the receiving operators have been informed of such transport operations and have agreed thereto. Such agreement might be provided for one or more transport operation(s).
For the storage of products, areas must be managed in order to ensure identification of lots and to avoid any mixing with or contamination by products and/or substances not in compliance with this Regulation.
Where an operator considers or suspects that a product which he has produced, prepared, imported or been delivered from another operator, is not in compliance with this Regulation, he shall initiate procedures either to withdraw from this product any reference to the organic production method or to separate and identify the product. He only may put it into processing or packaging or on the market after elimination of that doubt, unless it is placed on the market without indication referring to the organic production method. In case of such doubt, the operator shall immediately inform the inspection body or authority. The inspection body or authority may require that the product cannot be placed on the market with indications referring to the organic production method until it is satisfied, by the information received from the operator or from other sources, that the doubt has been eliminated.
Where an inspection body or authority has a substantiated suspicion that an operator intends to place on the market a product not in compliance with this Regulation but bearing a reference to the organic production method, this inspection body or authority can require that the operator may provisionally not market the product with this reference. This decision shall be supplemented by the obligation to withdraw from this product any reference to the organic production method if the inspection body or authority is sure that the product does not fulfil the requirements of this Regulation. However if the suspicion is not confirmed, the above decision shall be cancelled not later than a time period after having been taken. The inspection body or authority shall define this time period. The operator shall cooperate fully with the inspection body or authority in resolving the suspicion.
The operator must give the inspection body or authority, for inspection purposes, access to all parts of the unit and all premises, as well as to the accounts and relevant supporting documents. He must provide the inspection body or authority with any information deemed necessary for the purposes of the inspection.
When requested by the inspection body or authority, the operator shall submit the results of its own voluntary inspection and sampling programmes.
