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 when entering the Union from third countries. These border control posts are designated by the Member States.
This Commission Delegated Regulation is based on the empowerments set out in Articles 62(3), 64(2) and 64(5) of the OCR, which give powers to the Commission to adopt delegated acts to specify the cases where and the conditions under which certain derogations and exemptions from border control posts requirements can be granted for their designation.
The final date for comments is March 24, 2019. The Regulation is expected to be published during the second quarter of 2019.
