Regulation (EU) 2017/625 on Official Controls (OCR) establishes a harmonized legislative framework for the organization and performance of official controls and other official activities to verify compliance with Union agri-food chain legislation. Official controls take place at border control posts, designated by the Member States, when entering the Union from third countries. In certain cases identity checks and physical checks of these consignments may be performed at designated control points other than border control posts.
This Delegated Regulation lays down specific rules for identity checks and physical checks performed at designated control points on consignments. It also stipulates requirements for documentary checks performed at distance from the border control post on consignments.
The final date for comments is November 24, 2019. The Regulation is expected to be published in December 2019.
