Division 9.5 Statement on the overall performance

Assess the overall:

1. (a)

   progress towards achievement of the strategic objectives as described in the national control plan;

2. (b)

   effectiveness of the official controls carried out under the national control plan and their suitability to achieve the objectives of Article 17(2) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, Regulation (EC) No 882/2004, animal health, animal welfare and, as applicable, plant health rules.

That self-assessment should also address issues like overall effectiveness, coordination between and within competent authorities, delivery of a farm-to-fork approach and overall risk-based targeting of official controls. The statement on the overall performance should be based on an analysis and synthesis of results of the previous sections and provide descriptions of:

1. (a)

   the performance indicators applied to those objectives, where appropriate; and

2. (b)

   results for each objective, where appropriate.
