1. GENERAL

Under Article 16(1)(b) and (2)(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 (1), supervisory agencies
approved by the Member States, are authorised to issue certificates certifying the unloading and importation
of agricultural products qualifying for export refunds in third countries or, at least, their arrival at destination
in third countries.

Furthermore, supervisory agencies approved and controlled by a Member State in accordance with
Articles 16a to 16f of Regulation (EC) No 800/1999 or an official agency of the Member State shall be
responsible for carrying out checks provided for in Article 3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 639/2003
(granting requirements of export refunds related to the welfare of live bovine animals during transport).

The Member States are responsible for approving and monitoring these supervisory agencies.

Approval of a supervisory agency by one Member State is valid in all Member States. This means that certifi-
cates issued by approved supervisory agencies may be used throughout the Community, irrespective of the
Member State in which the agency issuing the certificate is based.

For
the Commission periodically
publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was
updated on 1 July 2008.

2. NOTICE

The Commission draws the attention of exporters to the following:

— The fact that a particular supervisory agency appears on the list does not automatically guarantee that
certificates issued by that agency are acceptable. Additional documentary evidence may be required. It
may also become apparent later that certificates issued are inaccurate.

— Agencies may be taken off the list at any time. Before settling on a particular agency, exporters
are accordingly advised to check with the national authorities (see Annex X of Regulation (EC)
No 800/1999) that it is still approved.

— Exporters can obtain further information on any agency from the national authority which approved it.
