The Commission shall display the national links to those lists on the Commission's website, for information purposes.

Feed and food business operators shall ensure the unloading of the consignment of feed and food necessary for representative sampling to take place.

In the case of special transport or specific packaging forms, the operator shall make available to the official inspector the appropriate sampling equipment insofar as the sampling cannot be representatively performed with the usual sampling equipment.

Article 9

Official controls

1. All official controls before the completion of the CED shall be performed within 15 working days from the moment the consignment is offered for import and physically available for sampling at the DPI.

2. Consignments of the feed and food can only enter the Union through the DPE. The competent authority at the DPE shall carry out documentary checks on each consignment of the feed and food intended for import into the Union to ascertain compliance with the requirements laid down in Articles 4 and 5.

For the purpose of this Regulation, Points of Entry can be designated which are only authorised to perform the documentary checks. In that case these DPE have not to comply with the minimum requirements as provided for in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 669/2009.

3. Where a consignment of feed and food is not accompanied by the results of sampling and analysis and the health certificate or where the results of sampling and analysis or the health certificate do not comply with the provisions of the Regulation, the consignment may not enter the Union for import into the Union and must be re-dispatched to the country of origin or destroyed.

4. ►M2 The customs authorities shall authorise the transfer of the consignment to a DPI after favourable completion of the checks referred to in paragraph 2 and the relevant entries of part II of the CED (II.3, II.5, II.8 and II.9) are completed and subject to the physical or electronic presentation of a completed CED by the feed and food business operator or their representative to the customs authorities. ◄ The original certificate, results of sampling and analysis referred to in article 4 and the CED shall accompany the consignment during transfer. The competent authority of the DPE shall immediately inform the competent authority at the DPI of the sending of the consignment and the business operator has to inform the competent authority at the DPI of the arrival of the consignment at least one working day prior to the physical arrival of the consignment. In case the business operator decides to change the DPI after the consignment has left the DPE, the documents have to be presented again to the competent authority of the DPE to agree and to perform the necessary changes on the CED and the competent authority of the DPE informs consequently the relevant DPIs of these changes.

5. The competent authority at the DPI shall carry out an identity check and a physical check by taking a sample for analysis of aflatoxin B1 for feed or aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxin contamination for food on certain consignments at a frequency set out in Annex I to this Regulation before acceptance for release for free circulation into the Union. The sampling is carried out for feed in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 152/2009 and for food in accordance with Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 401/2006.

6. After completion of the checks, the competent authorities shall, for checks carried out by them,

(a) complete the relevant entries of Part II of the CED;

(b) join the results of sampling and analysis carried out;

(c) provide and fill the CED reference number on the CED;

(d) stamp and sign the original of the CED;

(e) make and retain a copy of the signed and stamped CED.

For the completion of the CED in application of this Regulation, the competent authority shall take into account the notes for guidance laid down in Annex III.

7. The original of the health certificate referred to in Article 5, the results of sampling and analysis referred to in Article 4 and the CED shall accompany the consignment during its transfer until it is released for free circulation.

Article 10

Splitting of a consignment

1. Consignments shall not be split until all official controls have been completed, and the CED has been fully completed by the competent authorities as provided for in Article 9.

2. In the case of subsequent splitting of the consignment, an authenticated copy of the CED shall accompany each part of the consignment during its transport until it is released for free circulation.

Article 11

Release for free circulation

The release for free circulation of consignments shall be subject to the presentation (physically or electronically) by the feed and food business operator or their representative to the custom authorities of a CED duly completed by the competent authority once all official controls have been carried out. The custom authorities shall only release the consignment for free circulation if a favourable decision by the competent authority is indicated in box II.14 and signed in box II.21 of the CED.

Article 12

Non-compliance

If the official controls establish non-compliance with the relevant Union legislation, the competent authority shall complete Part III of the CED and action shall be taken pursuant to Articles 19, 20 and 21 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004.

Article 13

Reports

Member States shall submit to the Commission every three months a report of all analytical results of official controls on consignments of feed and food pursuant to this Regulation. That report shall be submitted during the month following each quarter.

The report shall include the following information:

— the number of consignments imported,

— the number of consignments subjected to sampling for analysis,

— the results of the checks as provided for in Article 9(5).

Article 14

Costs

All costs resulting from the official controls including sampling, analysis, storage and any measures taken following non-compliance, shall be borne by the feed and food business operators.

Article 15

Repeal

Regulation (EC) No 1152/2009 is hereby repealed.
