(c)to ask for an oral explanation on the spot;
(d)to enter any relevant premises, land or means of transport.
2.The officials of the Agency authorised for the purpose of the inspections referred to in paragraph 1 shall exercise their powers upon production of an authorisation in writing specifying the subject matter, the purpose of the inspection and the date on which it is to begin. In good time before the inspection, the Agency shall inform the Member State concerned of the inspection and of the identity of the authorised officials.
3.The Member State concerned shall submit to the inspections and shall ensure that bodies or persons concerned also submit to them.
