2.In relation to each scrutiny period, Member States shall, without prejudice to their obligations laid down in Article 80(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, select the undertakings to be scrutinised on the basis of a risk analysis for all measures where it is practicable to do so. Member States shall submit to the Commission their proposals for the use of the risk analysis at least six months before the beginning of the scrutiny period.

The proposal shall be drawn up in accordance with Annex V to this Regulation. Each Member States shall take account of the Commission’s comments on the risk-analysis proposal, which shall be given within eight weeks of receipt.
3.For measures for which a Member State considers the use of a risk analysis not to be practicable, it shall be compulsory for undertakings the sum of whose receipts or payments or the sum of those two amounts within the system of financing by the EAGF exceeded EUR 350 000 and which were not scrutinised in accordance with this Regulation and Chapter III of Title V of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 during either of the two preceding scrutiny periods, to be scrutinised.
4.The scrutiny period shall run from 1 July to 30 June of the following year. Scrutiny shall cover a period of at least 12 months ending during the previous scrutiny period; it may be extended for periods, to be determined by the Member State, preceding or following the 12-month period.
