Article 13 Coordination of risk analysis and checks

The Member States shall ensure that a single body coordinates information on risk analysis.

Member States shall take steps to coordinate the checks imposed on individual operators and combine the checks provided for in Articles 5, 8 and 9 and the checks provided for in Regulation (EC) No 485/2008.

Such coordinated checks shall be carried out, on the initiative or at the request either of the Commission or of the customs authorities carrying out the physical checks or the paying agencies scrutinising the payment application file or the competent authorities auditing the accounts.
