5.Official veterinarians shall carry out at least a visit to the affected establishment on the last day of the monitoring period set out in Annex II for the relevant disease, calculated forwards from the date on which the animals were placed in the establishment, and in any case before 30 days have elapsed since that day, performing at least:
(a)documentary checks, including production, health and traceability records analysis;
(b)clinical examination of kept animals of listed species; and

(a)keep up to date the records of health and production data for kept animals of listed species; and
(b)immediately notify to the competent authority any significant change in production data and any other abnormalities.
