that Brazil cannot currently ensure reliable analytical
results or guarantee lot integrity in respect of certification
of consignments of unshelled Brazil nuts. Furthermore, it
may also be concluded that current official controls on
returned lots are inadequate. It is therefore appropriate to
restrict the analyses to the official laboratory which can
provide guarantees as regards the analytical results and to
impose strict conditions regarding the return of non-
conforming lots. In the event that those strict conditions
are not complied with, subsequent non-conforming lots
should be destroyed.

(14)

In the interests of public health, Member States should
keep the Commission informed through quarterly reports
of all results of official controls carried out in respect of
consignments of
foodstuffs covered by this Decision.
Such reports shall be in addition to the notification obli-
gations under the rapid alert system for food and feed
established by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002.

(15)

It is important to ensure that the sampling and analysis
of consignments of foodstuffs covered by this Decision
are performed in a harmonised manner throughout the
Community. Accordingly the sampling and analysis to be
performed under this Decision should be carried out in
accordance with the provisions of Commission Regu-
lation (EC) No 401/2006 of 23 February 2006 laying
down the methods of sampling and analysis for the
official control of

stuffs (9).

(16)

The operation of this Decision should be kept under
review on the basis of the guarantees provided by the
competent authorities of the third countries concerned
and of the results of the official controls carried out by
Member States in order to assess whether the special
conditions provide a sufficient
level of protection of
public health within the Community and whether they
are still needed.
