By 1 January 2017, member states will have to establish inspection plans, which must include the objectives and priorities of the inspections, the geographical area covered by the inspection plans and the tasks assigned to each authority involved in the inspections. The inspection plans must be based on a risk assessment. They are to be regularly reviewed and updated at least every three years. Member states will make information relating to inspections publicly available, including electronically, on an annual basis. |
The regulation will enter into force twenty days after its publication in the EU Official Journal. It will apply from 1 January 2016.
