in the case of quantities delivered under contracts:

  1. (i)

    the consignments delivered each day, and the identification number of the contract to which they relate;

    the quantity of each consignment delivered and, in the case of tomatoes, peaches and pears, the quantity accepted for processing, after deduction of any reduction, and the identification number of the relevant delivery certificate;

(b)

in the case of quantities delivered otherwise than under contract:

  1. (i)

    the consignments delivered each day, and the identity of the processor concerned;

  2. (ii)

    the quantity of each consignment delivered and accepted for processing.

2.

Producer organisations shall keep available for the national inspection authorities all the information needed for checking that this Regulation is complied with.

In the case of tomatoes, peaches and pears, that information must make it possible to identify, for each producer, the link between the areas, the quantities delivered, the delivery certificates, and payment of the aid and prices.

3.

Member States may decide what form the records and information referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall take.

Member States may decide that the records referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 are to be certified in the same way as records or accounting documents required under national law.

4.

The records or accounting documents required under national law may be used for the purposes of this Article, provided they contain all the information referred to in paragraph 1.

Producer organisations shall submit to all inspections and checks deemed necessary by the Member State and shall keep all additional records required by the Member State for the purposes of the checks deemed necessary.
