The paying agency shall check the quality of butter using the methods referred to in Article 4 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240, and on the basis of samples taken in accordance with the rules set out in Part I of Annex IV to that Regulation. However, paying agencies may, subject to written agreement of the Commission, set up a system of self checking under their own supervision in respect of certain quality requirements and for certain approved undertakings.

3.

Levels of radioactivity in butter may not exceed the maximum levels permitted under Union legislation and shall be monitored only if the situation so requires.

5.

Where butter is offered or tendered for intervention in a Member State other than that in which it was produced, buying-in shall be subject to the presentation of a certificate supplied by the competent body of the Member State of production.

The certificate shall be presented to the competent body of the purchasing Member State not later than 35 days after the day on which the offer is received or after the closing date of the tender and shall contain the information referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 of Part II of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1240, and a confirmation that the butter has been produced directly and exclusively from pasteurised cream within the meaning of Article 11(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 in an approved undertaking in the Union.

6.

Where the Member State of production has performed the checks referred to in point 2, the certificate referred to in point 5 shall also contain the results of those checks and confirm that the product concerned is butter fulfilling the requirements of Article 11(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
