2. 4.2.2If a Member State decides to provide for third country registration, according to Article 3(3) from the EMAS Regulation, the possibility to get a registration from that specific Member State will in practice depend on the availability of accredited verifiers. The potential verifier should be accredited in that specific Member State that provides for third country registration, for that specific third country and for the specific economic sector(s) involved (determined based on NACE codes) in the given registration procedure.
3. 4.2.3The accreditation or license that verifiers can obtain for third countries must state for which third countries it is valid, so that the registration allowance is consistent with the provisions of Article 22(2) of the EMAS Regulation. It is up to the Member States to decide if they want to issue separate certificates for each third country or issue an overall accreditation certificate with a geographical appendix, listing the countries in which the verification bodies are accredited to operate in, attached.
