Less frequent checks
Although the general rule is that all consignments (material listed in Annex V Part B) must be inspected on arrival in the EU, plant health checks can be carried out less often under certain conditions - Regulation EC/1756/2004
.
To be eligible, each trade (trade = commodity from a single country) must have had:
- Average 200 consignments annually over for 3 years and
- Minimum 600 consignments inspected over the same period.
Any commodity with 1% or more of its consignments intercepted because of harmful organisms is not eligible.
