Member States shall take the necessary measures to establish a system to carry out the physical checks under the second subparagraph of paragraph 1 without prior warning, based on a risk-analysis assessment.\nHowever, up to the end of 2003, the system shall ensure that at least 3 % of the declarations of release for free circulation per Member State and per calendar year are physically checked.\nWhen calculating the minimum rate of physical checks to be carried out, Member States may opt to disregard import declarations involving quantities not exceeding 500 kg.",
