  "text": "Article 27a of Directive 2000/29/EC provides that Articles 41 to 46 of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 are to apply to plant health. However, the information required under Articles 42(2)(f) to (k) of that Regulation refers to provisions of the Regulation that are not applicable to plant health.\nIt should also be noted that as provided for by Articles 42(2)(f), 42(2)(h), 42(2)(i) and 42(2)(k) of Regulation (EC) 882/2004, Directive 2000/29/EC has corresponding or equivalent provisions in respect of plant health. Please refer to:\nArticle 42(2)(f) — delegation of tasks to control bodies for which guidance is set out at Section 3.8 of these Guidelines,\nArticle 42(2)(h) — training of staff performing official controls for which guidance is set out at Section 3.10 of these Guidelines,\nArticle 42(2)(i) — documented procedures for which guidance is set out in Section 3.11 of these Guidelines,\nArticle 42(2)(k) — organisation of cooperation and mutual assistance for which guidance is set out in Section 3.13 of these Guidelines.\nInformation concerning the arrangements to comply with these matters in respect of Directive 2000/2029 should be included in the national control plans.\nThese guidelines on the requirements of Article 42(2)(c), (d) and (e) contain some additional references to provisions of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 which are not applicable to plant health. When addressing these requirements it is not necessary to apply those aspects of these guidelines to plant health. For example, the guidelines at Section 3.6 refer to audits of competent authorities as required by Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 which are not applicable to plant health. However, if Member States carry out such audits, or apply other provisions of the guidelines in relation to official controls in respect of plant health they may provide this information on a voluntary basis in their description of their control system for plant health.",
