Mr. David Lynch:

In regard to the official controls that are carried out, Article 1 lays down the scope. Article 1.3 states that it shall apply to official controls performed to verify compliance with the requirements for goods and animals entering the Union from third countries. Therefore, it will and it can lay down whatever controls it feels should be applied on checks that are carried out on materials and animals coming in from outside the Community. Again, it does not go into the details. When we go through it, the Senator will see that it states that the Commission shall be empowered to lay down delegated acts which will go into the details. We have to wait for the details to appear later.
