1. Purpose of the guidance document
The purpose of this guidance document is to assist the Member States in submitting the information and data in their annual report on the implementation of their multi-annual national control plans (MANCP) in a standard model form.
This guidance document is intended to assist national authorities in the application of Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723 (2). Only the Court of Justice of the European Union is competent to authoritatively interpret Union law.
2. Purpose of the annual report
The purpose of the Member States’ annual report is to:
a) |
meet the legal obligations for reporting laid down in Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 of the European Parliament and of the Council; |
b) |
ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and facilitate the collection and transmission of comparable data and the subsequent compilation of such data into Union-wide statistics; |
c) |
be used in updating and reviewing the MANCP. |
The process of compiling and analysing the data for the purpose of the annual report may facilitate Member States’ review of the effectiveness, and contribute towards the development and continual improvement, of their control systems.
Under Article 11(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, Member States’ competent authorities are required to ensure the regular and timely publication of information on the following:
d) |
the type, number and outcome of official controls; |
e) |
the type and number of cases of non-compliance detected; |
f) |
the type and number of cases where measures were taken by the competent authorities in accordance with Article 138 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625; and |
g) |
the type and number of cases where the penalties referred to in Article 139 of that Regulation were imposed. |
This information may be provided, where appropriate, through the publication of the annual reports.
Under Article 114(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the Commission is required to take the information provided in the annual reports into account in the preparation of the Commission’s annual report on the operation of official controls in the Member States.
3. Legal background
Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 provides:
"1. By 31 August every year, each Member State shall submit to the Commission a report setting out:
(a) |
any amendments made to its MANCP to take account of the factors referred to in Article 111(2); |
(b) |
the outcome of official controls performed in the previous year under its MANCP; |
(c) |
the type and number of cases of non-compliance with the rules referred to in Article 1(2), per area, detected in the previous year by the competent authorities; |
(d) |
the measures taken to ensure the effective operation of its MANCP, including enforcement action and the results of such measures, and |
(e) |
a link to the web page of the competent authority containing the public information on fees or charges referred to in Article 85(2)." |
4. Definitions
In this guidance document, reference is made to the definitions laid down in the relevant Union legislation and, in particular, the definitions in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4), and Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. In particular, the following definitions set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 should be noted:
(a) |
"official controls" means activities performed by the competent authorities, or by the delegated bodies or the natural persons to which certain official control tasks have been delegated in accordance with this Regulation, in order to verify:
|
(b) |
"other official activities" means activities, other than official controls, which are performed by the competent authorities, or by the delegated bodies or the natural persons to which certain other official activities have been delegated in accordance with this Regulation, and with the rules referred to in Article 1(2), including activities aimed at verifying the presence of animal diseases or pests of plants, preventing or containing the spread of such animal diseases or pests of plants, eradicating those animal diseases or pests of plants, granting authorisations or approvals, and issuing official certificates or official attestations. |
In addition to the definitions referred to above, the following approaches should be taken into account for the purpose of this guidance document:
(a) How to count official controls
The approach to counting official controls is based on Article 13(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, according to which for every official control that the competent authorities perform, they have to draw up written records, which may be on paper or in electronic form. Official controls should, for the purposes of the preparation of annual reports by Member States, be counted on the basis of those records.
During an official control competent authorities may use different methods or techniques and carry out activities in several of the areas mentioned in Article 1(2), including in accordance with different rules (5) within those areas. The written record of the official control should reflect those activities and the competent authorities should report them accordingly (e.g. one official sample leading to several analyses covering five different rules = five analyses results/laboratory reports = official controls in accordance with five different rules; one visit/inspection covering three different rules = official controls in accordance with three different rules).
If competent authorities carry out an official control on an operator/establishment with several activities (e.g. processing fishery products and cold store for goods) and if the competent authorities cover two or more of those activities, then the competent authorities should report the controls by activity, whenever possible.
(b) How to count operators/establishments
Registered operators and approved establishments may carry out different activities for which requirements are provided in different rules of the EU agri-food chain legislation. Competent authorities keep up-to-date lists of such operators and establishments, including of their activities. Therefore, when counting the number of operators and/or establishments, the competent authorities should count them bearing in mind the activities they carry out and include them in the corresponding categories (e.g. if an establishment has both wholesale and retail activities, such establishment should be counted on both the wholesale and retail categories).
(c) How to count non-compliances
For the purpose of this guidance document a non-compliance corresponds to a breach of the rules in the areas of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
The approach to counting non-compliances is based on Article 13(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, according to which the operator is to be promptly informed in writing by the competent authorities of any case of non-compliance identified through the official controls. Non-compliances should, for the purposes of the preparation of annual reports by Member States, be counted on the basis of an issued written communication from the competent authority to the operator.
During an official control, competent authorities may detect cases of non-compliances in the implementation of:
— |
different rules within one of the areas mentioned in Article 1(2) (e.g. three legal acts in the area of feed – Article 1(2)(c)), or |
— |
the rules within different areas (e.g. one legal act in the area of animal health – Article 1(2)(d) – and two legal acts in the area of animal welfare – Article 1(2)(f)). |
The written communication from the competent authority to the operator, identifying the non-compliances, should reflect those cases and the competent authorities should report them accordingly.
(d) Administrative and judicial action/measures
Under Article 138(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, where a non-compliance is established, the competent authorities are required to take appropriate measures to ensure that the operators concerned remedy the non-compliance and prevent further occurrences of such non-compliance. The measures taken by the competent authorities should be reported under two categories: administrative and judicial.
Administrative actions/measures are those that fall under the competence of, and are initiated by, the competent authority.
The judicial actions/measures are those that fall under the competence of the judicial authorities and that are relevant for cases of non-compliances that the competent authority referred to the judicial authority.
The number of actions/measures initiated by the competent authorities, or falling under the competence of the judicial authority, may not correspond automatically to the number of non-compliances detected.
5. Scope of the annual report
The annual report should cover the scope of the MANCP prepared in accordance with Article 110(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, taking into account the requirements of Article 113(1) of that regulation.
Member States already submit information and data on import controls and controls on intra-Union trade to the Commission when using the computerised information management system for official controls (IMSOC). Therefore, this information and data should not be part of the annual report.
Member States are not required to include information in their annual report about other official activities performed by the competent authorities or by the delegated bodies or natural persons to which certain other official activities have been delegated (6).
Likewise, data on control of the cross-compliance requirements in accordance with Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 (7), are not required to be reported in the Annual Report.
Notwithstanding, Member States should submit information and data on official controls that, in accordance with Article 1(4)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, Member States are to perform pursuant to Article 89 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8), where those controls identify possible fraudulent or deceptive practices in respect of the marketing standards referred to in Articles 73 to 91 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9).
Non-exhaustive indicative lists of rules meant as a guidance with regard to the information to be provided in the annual report standard model form can be found in Annexes I to X.
6. Reporting period and submission of annual reports
Pursuant to Article 113(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 Member States are to submit their annual reports to the Commission by 31 August of the year following the year to which the reports relate, using the standard model form to be adopted by the Commission. That standard model form is laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723, which applies from 14 December 2019.Therefore, the first annual reports, using that standard model form, are to be submitted to the Commission by 31 August 2021.
7. Relationship with other specific reports
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 does not affect specific Union provisions concerning official controls. Therefore, the annual report required by Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 does not replace the annual or other reports on other official controls provided for under other pieces of Union legislation.
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723 integrates, whenever possible, the standard model forms adopted by the Commission for the submission of other reports on official controls that the competent authorities are required to submit to the Commission in accordance with the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Examples of this integration are the Member States' reports on the information and data on official controls on food contact materials, irradiation of food, registration and identification of animals and organic data.
The scopes of the reporting obligations in Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10) as amended by Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and in Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 are similar. Furthermore, the deadline in Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 was aligned with that of Article 113(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Therefore, the Member States should include the issues to be reported under Article 68 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 in their annual report (namely in Section 8 of Part II of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723).
Official controls carried out for the purpose of coordinated control programmes (Article 112 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625) should be reported in the annual report. The controls performed under these programmes are considered official controls and, even if their results have to be reported in a manner defined by the programme, they should also be reported in the annual report. An explanation could be added in the relevant comment box to indicate that such a programme was implemented.
8. General guidance
Regulation (EU) 2017/625 provides for a systems-based approach to Member States’ official controls. An essential part of such an approach is the compilation and analysis of the results of official controls and drawing conclusions thereon, with a view to the determination of appropriate system-based corrective actions and adjustment or amendment of the MANCP where necessary. The annual report should therefore be a synthesis of that activity.
A simple statistical account of the number of official controls should not satisfy that requirement. For compiling the annual report, Member States should provide an overview of the overall or aggregate national results on which the analysis of the results of official controls is based.
The issues to be covered in the overview and analysis of the results of official controls are outlined in Section 9 of this guidance document. The analysis of those results might identify trends and comment on their significance and possible future consequences for official controls.
For the purposes of compilation of the raw control data, where Union legislation prescribes the data to be collected for the purpose of specific reports, in relation to the areas of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, these data should form the basis of the analysis of the results of official controls for the area in question.
Where there are no such provisions, Member States should follow the standard model form for the annual report for compiling the data.
For the purposes of classifying non-compliances, where Union legislation provides for such classification, this classification should be followed for the purposes of the annual reports. In the absence of any specific provision Member States should follow the classification of non-compliances in the standard model form for the annual report.
The background data supporting the results and analysis of official controls supplied in the annual report may be required by the Commission for the purposes of Commission controls provided for in Article 116 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/625 and should therefore be retained and provided to the Commission on request (Article 119(b) of that Regulation).
9. Guidance on filling in the standard model form of the annual report
The standard model form of the annual report is provided in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723. Member States are required to submit the information and data using the electronic version of the standard model form provided in “Annual Reporting on Official Controls” (AROC) in the SANTE Data Collection Platform (under the umbrella of the IMSOC).
The title of the annual report is the following:
"Annual Report submitted by (introduce Member State) for the period 01/01/(introduce reporting year) to 31/12/(introduce reporting year)".
PART I
The following numbered headings correspond to the headings of the annual report standard model form in the Annex to Regulation (EU) 2019/723.
1. Introduction
This section is composed of a text box, numbered 1, for free text.
Member States may present their progress towards achievement of the strategic objectives and the challenges they faced during the reporting year when implementing their MANCP. Where the annual report is related to the first or the last year of the MANCP's implementation this should be taken into account.
A statement on the overall level of compliance with the rules of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 may be included along with an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the official controls carried out under the MANCP and their suitability to achieve the objectives of that Regulation. The statement on the overall performance should be based on an analysis and synthesis of results of the sections in Part II and provide descriptions of:
a) |
the performance indicators applied to those objectives, where appropriate; and |
b) |
results for each objective, where appropriate (11). |
In order to achieve a better uniformity when reporting on a) and b) above, Member States may use the following table:

Member States may give a general description of the organisation of their official controls systems for the different areas mentioned in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, during the reporting year. A repetition of any detailed description given in the MANCP should be avoided. Instead, Member States should highlight any benefits in terms of effectiveness linked to coordination, cooperation and synergies between the competent authorities in charge of the different official control systems and issues encountered in the reporting year.
2. Measures taken to ensure the effective operation of the MANCP, including enforcement action and the results of such measures
This section is composed of a text box, numbered 2, for free text.
This should be an account of the actions taken to ensure effective operation of the MANCP. The annual report should address actions taken in the following areas:
a) |
Actions taken to ensure compliance by operators as provided for in Articles 138(2) and 139(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. |
b) |
Actions taken to ensure the effective operation of official control services as provided for in Article 5(1) and Article 12(2) and (3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. These should include the audits carried out in accordance with Article 6(1) and audits or inspections carried out in accordance with Article 33, and actions taken in response to their findings, where appropriate. In the case of actions taken in response to audit conclusions this may include corrective and preventive actions, or improvement actions based on the identification of good practice. |
c) |
Substantial actions taken to ensure effective operation of official control services may require amendment of the MANCP and should in such case be included in Section 3 of Part I of the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723. However, some significant actions might not require an amendment of the MANCP and, in such cases, should be included in this point in the annual report, in order to indicate positive actions taken by the Member State. This information should cover items such as:
Member States should also indicate relevant issues with negative impact on the operation of the official control systems. |
3. Amendments made to the MANCP
This section is composed of a text box, numbered 3, for free text.
In accordance with Article 113(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, Member States shall include in the annual report any amendments to their MANCP during the year to which that report relates, or for the years ahead, to take account at least of the following factors:
— |
the emergence of new diseases, pests of plants or other risks to human, animal or plant health, animal welfare or, in the case of GMOs and plant protection products, also to the environment; |
— |
significant changes to the structure, management or operation of the competent authorities in the Member State; |
— |
the outcome of Member States’ official controls; |
— |
the outcome of Commission controls performed in the Member State in accordance with Article 116(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625; |
— |
scientific findings; and |
— |
the outcome of official controls performed by the competent authorities of a third country in the Member State. |
Other factors that may be taken into account for such amendments are, where applicable:
— |
new legislation; |
— |
significant changes to the agri-food production sector; |
— |
the outcome of audits carried out in accordance with Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625; |
— |
the outcome of root-cause analysis; |
— |
the conclusions and recommendations contained in the Commission's report in accordance with Article 114(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. |
Particular attention should be paid to the need to ensure that amendments made in response to the factors referred to in Article 111(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 are addressed and explained. In particular, relevant changes to the official control systems described in the MANCP and relevant changes to the risk categorisation of activities should be described.
The amendments should be consistent with the analysis and conclusions provided for in Sections 1 to 10 in Part II of the annual report and include cross-references to the relevant section(s), as appropriate.
4. Fees or charges
This section is composed of field, numbered 4, for the inclusion of a hyperlink(s).
Member States are required to include in the annual report the links to the web pages of the competent authorities containing the public information on fees or charges referred to in Article 85(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
Pursuant to Article 85(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, each competent authority is required to make available to the public the information on the fees or charges provided for in point (a) of Article 79(1), Article 79(2) and Article 80 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, namely on:
— |
the method and data used to establish these fees or charges; |
— |
the amount of the fees or charges applied to each category of operators and for each category of official controls or other official activities; |
— |
the breakdown of the costs, as referred to in Article 81; |
— |
the identity of the authorities or bodies responsible for the collection of the fees or charges. |
Article 79 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 does not apply to official controls performed to verify compliance with the rules referred to in points (i) and (j) of Article 1(2). Therefore, in relation to these points, each competent authority is required to make available to the public only the information on the fees or charges provided for in Article 80.
PART II
A. Common information
A.1. Overall conclusion on the level of compliance achieved
This information is presented in a text box, for free text, in each Section of Part II.
Member States should indicate the extent to which annual operational targets (where Member States have established such operational targets), and strategic objectives set out in the MANCP were achieved for each area of Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
A brief description of relevant performance indicators and/or operational targets applied may be included here, unless provided in the MANCP, in which case they should be referred to by means of cross-references.
Member States may include an assessment of how official controls (including unplanned) and, where applicable, specific control activities focused on a particular issue, have contributed to the level of compliance achieved.
Member States may mention for planned official controls the extent to which the frequency or intensity and nature of official controls set out in the MANCP were achieved. In the event that operational targets for planned official controls are not achieved, an analysis of relevant mitigating and/or contributing factors may be provided.
Member States may provide a brief explanation of the reasons for the unplanned official controls — particularly when they have diverted resources from planned official controls.
Member States should provide a description on how the overall compliance with the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, per area, was measured during the previous year as well as an overview of the results. A statement or conclusion on the overall level of compliance may provide an overview of results on the basis of competent authorities’ performances.
A.2. Outcome of official controls performed in the previous year under the Member State's MANCP
This information is presented in one, or more, tables in each Section of Part II depending on the particularities of each area in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
In the table(s), Member States should indicate at least the number of official controls performed during the previous year. Examples of the methods and techniques used for these controls can be found in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 (e.g. inspection, sampling, analysis, diagnosis and tests).
Annexes I to X provide non-exhaustive indicative lists of rules, per area, meant as a guidance with regard to the information on official controls to be reported in the corresponding Sections of the annual report standard model form.
Optional text boxes, for free text, are provided after the tables for any comments deemed necessary on the performance of official controls, namely any specific context, background or constraints that merit to be highlighted. Member States can add information in these text boxes on the official controls performed for the verification of compliance with requirements laid down in the rules referred to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 where those requirements are applicable to products/goods to be exported from the Union (see also Article 9(6)(b) of the same Regulation).
A.3. Type and number of cases of non-compliance with the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, per area, detected in the previous year by the competent authorities
This information is presented in the form of one, or more, tables in each Section of Part II depending on the particularities of each area in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
In the table(s), Member States should indicate at least the type and number of cases of non-compliance detected during the previous year.
In the tables, depending on the particularities of each area in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, the non-compliances are divided per type (e.g. linked to an operator (structural or operational) or linked to an animal (by species) or good (e.g. by food categories)) and the last column of the tables indicates the actions/measures taken by the competent authorities to restore compliance under two categories: "Administrative" and "Judicial".
Where applicable, under the text boxes "Fraudulent and deceptive practices", Member States should provide a summary of the non-compliances identified during official controls performed to identify possible intentional violations of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, perpetrated through fraudulent or deceptive practices, and taking into account information regarding such violations shared through the mechanisms of administrative assistance provided for in Articles 102 to 108 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and any other information pointing to the possibility of such violations.
When providing the summary above, the Member States should take into account the definition of “food fraud notification” in Article 2(21) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1715 (12), which is a non-compliance notification concerning suspected intentional action by businesses or individuals for the purpose of deceiving purchasers and gaining undue advantage therefrom, in violation of the rules referred to in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625.
Optional text boxes, for free text, are provided after the tables for any comments deemed necessary on the quantity and type of non-compliances detected and actions/measures initiated, namely any specific context, background or constraints that merit to be highlighted.
B. Information per section

The categories of operators/establishments were divided in "approved" and "registered", following the rules of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (13) and Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 (14).
In the case of "approved" establishments, the categories in table 1.2 (and consequently in table 1.6) were drawn from the Annex II of the "Technical Specifications in Relation to the Master List and the Lists of EU Approved Food Establishments and Certain other Specified Food Establishments" (15).
In the case of "registered" operators/establishments, the categories in table 1.2 (and consequently in table 1.6) were agreed by the Commission Expert group during the development of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/723. In addition, to facilitate the categorisation of the operators/establishments, the Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (NACE) (16), by means of their codes, can optionally be used. The following table illustrates how the NACE codes relate to the defined categories:
Categories of registered operators/establishments |

The category "Establishments producing food contact materials" is added to the end of table 1.2 to cover the official controls performed on manufacturers of materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
The table 1.3 on official controls relates to those controls requiring continuous or regular presence of staff or representatives of the competent authorities on the operator's premises.
How to complete table 1.3 |
|
Column "Number of establishments" |
Total number of establishments, used for planning the official controls (most likely at the beginning of the year), for the different categories. |
Column "Number of official controls performed" |
Total number of official controls carried out during the reporting year, in number of carcasses or weight per tonnes, in the different categories of establishments. |
Column "Rejections" |
Total number of immediate actions taken by the competent authority to prevent meat unfit for human consumption to be placed on the market subsequent to the official controls performed. |
The approach to counting this type of official controls is based on Article 13(3) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625, where written records of these official controls, are to be produced with a frequency that enables the competent authorities and the operator to be:
— |
Regularly informed of the level of compliance; and |
— |
Promptly informed of any case of non-compliance identified through the official controls. |
The type of official controls mentioned above relate only to ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection in slaughterhouses. Official controls should be reported in relation to the number of carcasses inspected or in relation to the weight (in tonnes). Member States can add an explanation in the optional text box 1.5 on how they have counted the official controls performed. The categories of establishments are linked to the categories of "approved" establishments mentioned in table 1.2.
In table 1.4, Member States should report the total number of official controls performed only on products/goods during the reporting year, by food categories and by horizontal rule categories.
The food categories were divided using the food classification and description system "FoodEX2" of the European Food Safety Authority (namely its “Table A3: Facet descriptors for the groups defined in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food additives” (17) in Appendix A), while incorporating the food categories associated to the "approved" establishments in table 1.2, as optional categories to be filled. The latter are identified by a (*).
The category "food contact materials" is added to the end of table 1.4 to cover the manufacture, labelling and use of materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
In the category "Others", Member States can also report the official controls performed for verifying food integrity and wholesomeness.
The horizontal rule categories derive from specific Union provisions concerning official controls in the area of Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. The intention of table 1.4 is to have an overview of the number of times the horizontal rules were controlled by the competent authorities, in relation with the food categories listed.
A non-exhaustive indicative list of rules, meant as a guidance with regard to the information on official controls to be reported for the area referred to in Article 1(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 is provided in Annex I.
More specifically, the following table indicates for the horizontal rules in tables 1.4 and 1.6:
