List of international control and supervisory agencies (hereafter referred to as ‘supervisory agencies’) approved by the Member States under Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 800/1999

(This list replaces the list published in Official Journal of the European Union C 222 of 30 August 2008, page 14)

2009/C 197/05
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 16(a) to 16(f) 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 certificates 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 information of Community exporters of agricultural products, the Commission periodically publishes a list of all the supervisory agencies approved by the Member States. The attached list was updated on 1 July 2009.
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.
