Article 6 Checks

In 2005, the new Member States may reduce the percentage of checks at producer organisations and producer groups to no less than half of the minimum percentages provided for in Article 20(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1432/2003 and in Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1433/2003.

If the new Member States make use of this possibility, the percentage shall be increased by the same rate as the rate of reduction in 2005 in 2006, in order to reach the normal level on a two-year average.
