Article 4Minimum requirements for designated points of entryWithout prejudice to Article 19, the designated points of entry shall have at least the following available:(a)a sufficient number of suitably qualified and experienced staff to perform the prescribed checks on consignments;(b)appropriate facilities for the competent authority to undertake the necessary checks;(c)detailed instructions regarding sampling for analysis and the sending of such samples for analysis to a laboratory designated pursuant to Article 12(1) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 (the designated laboratory);(d)facilities to store consignments (and containerised consignment) in appropriate conditions during the period of detention, where appropriate, awaiting the results of the analysis referred to in point (c), and a sufficient number of storage rooms, including cold stores, in cases where a controlled temperature is required due to the nature of the consignment;(e)unloading equipment and appropriate equipment for carrying out sampling for analysis;(f)the possibility to perform the unloading and the sampling for analysis in a sheltered place, where appropriate;(g)a designated laboratory which can perform the analysis referred to in point (c), situated at a place to which the samples can be transported within a short period of time.

Article 5List of designated points of entryThe Member States shall maintain and make publicly available on the Internet for each of the products listed in Annex I an up-to-date list of the designated points of entry. The Member States shall communicate the Internet addresses of these lists to the Commission.The Commission shall display the national links to those lists on the Commission’s website, for information purposes.

Article 6Prior notification of consignmentsFeed and food business operators or their representatives shall give adequate prior notification of the estimated date and time of physical arrival of the consignment at the designated point of entry and of the nature of the consignment.For that purpose, they shall complete Part I of the common entry document and transmit that document to the competent authority at the designated point of entry, at least one working day prior to the physical arrival of the consignment.

Article 7Language of common entry documentsCommon entry documents shall be drawn up in the official language, or in one of the official languages, of the Member State where the designated point of entry is located.However, a Member State may consent to common entry documents being drawn up in another official language of the Community.

Article 8Increased level of official controls at designated points of entry1.The competent authority at the designated point of entry shall carry out without undue delay:(a)documentary checks on all consignments within 2 working days from the time of arrival at the DPE, unless exceptional and unavoidable circumstances arise;(b)identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis, at the frequencies set out in Annex I, and in such a way that it is not possible for feed and food business operators or their representatives to predict whether any particular consignment will be subjected to such checks; the results of physical checks must be available as soon as technically possible.2.After completion of the checks provided for in paragraph 1, the competent authority shall:(a)complete the relevant part of Part II of the common entry document; and the responsible official of the competent authority shall stamp and sign the original of that document;(b)make and retain a copy of the signed and stamped common entry document.The original of the common entry document shall accompany the consignment on its onward transport until it reaches its destination as indicated in the CED.The competent authority at the DPE may authorise onward transportation of the consignment pending the results of the physical checks. Where authorisation is given, the competent authority at the DPE shall notify the competent authority at the point of destination and appropriate arrangements shall be put in place to ensure that the consignment remains under the continuous control of the competent authorities and cannot be tampered with in any manner pending the results of the physical checks.In cases where the consignment is transported pending the availability of results from the physical checks, a certified copy of the original CED shall be issued for that purpose.

Article 9Special circumstances1.On request of the Member State concerned, the Commission may authorise the competent authorities of certain designated points of entry operating under specific geographical constraints to carry out physical checks at the premises of a feed and food business operator, provided that the following conditions are met:(a)the efficiency of controls carried out at the DPE is not adversely affected;(b)the premises fulfil the requirements indicated in Article 4, as relevant, and are approved for that purpose by the Member State;(c)appropriate arrangements are in place to guarantee that the consignment remains under the continuous control of the competent authorities of the DPE as from the moment of its arrival at the DPE and cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks.2.By way of derogation from Article 8(1), under exceptional circumstances, the Commission may provide in respect of a product listed in Annex I, that identity and physical checks on consignments of such products can be carried out by the competent authority of the place of destination as indicated in the CED, if appropriate at the premises of the feed and food business operator if the conditions laid down in paragraph 1 (b) and (c) are satisfied, provided that the following conditions are met:(a)the highly perishable nature of the product or the specific characteristics of the packaging are such that the performance of sampling operations at the DPE would inevitably result in a serious risk to food safety or in the product being damaged to an unacceptable extent;(b)appropriate cooperation arrangements are put in place by the competent authorities at the DPE and the competent authorities performing the physical checks to ensure that:(i)the consignment cannot be tampered with in any manner throughout all checks;(ii)the reporting requirements laid down in Article 15 are fully met.

Article 10Release for free circulationThe release for free circulation of consignments shall be subject to the presentation by the feed and food business operator or their representative to the custom authorities of a common entry document or its electronic equivalent duly completed by the competent authority once all controls required in accordance with Article 8(1) have been carried out and favourable results from physical checks, where such checks are required, are known.

Article 11Obligations of feed and food business operatorsIn cases where the special characteristics of the consignment so warrant, feed and food business operator or their representative shall make available to the competent authority:(a)sufficient human resources and logistics to unload the consignment, in order that the official controls may take place;(b)the appropriate equipment for sampling for analysis as regards special transport and/or specific packaging forms, insofar as such sampling cannot be representatively performed with standard sampling equipment.

Article 12Splitting of consignmentsConsignments shall not be split until the increased level of official controls has been completed, and the common entry document has been completed by the competent authority as provided for in Article 8.In the case of subsequent splitting of the consignment, an authenticated copy of the common entry document shall accompany each part of the consignment until it is released for free circulation.

Article 13Non-complianceIf the official controls establish non-compliance, the responsible official of the competent authority shall complete Part III of the common entry document and action shall be taken pursuant to Articles 19, 20 and 21 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

Article 14Fees1.Member States shall ensure the collection of fees occasioned by the increased level of official controls provided for in this Regulation in accordance with Article 27(4) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, and the criteria laid down in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.2.Feed and food business operators responsible for the consignment or their representatives shall pay the fees referred to in paragraph 1.
