Abstract

This technical report assesses the policy and economic impact of the provision of the Official Control Regulation (OCR) relating to imports into the Union territory. To this end a survey was held of different EU stakeholders i.e. custom authorities, NPPOs, operators, MS-level and EU-wide associations, and non-EU NPPOs. The survey was answered by 65 respondents from 21 different EU countries. This report includes an analysis of changes to the OCR Regulation carried out by DG SANTE and a cost-benefit analysis thereof, carried out by JRC. Results show the stakeholders’ views on the cost and benefits as well as the performance of the changes introduced to plant health provisions of the Official Controls Regulation. In particular it focuses on how the changes have affected the number of border control posts and control points, the impact of the requirements related to controls on wood packaging material, inspections for goods in transit and post-import inspections for pests in dormant stage. It also reviews how the TRACES NT system supports the implementation of the Regulation and how the provisions for E-commerce and passenger luggage are being put in place. This report is one of four reports drafted for the preparation of the report to the European Parliament and to the Council according to the legislative obligation of the European Commission laid down in Article 50 of the Plant Health Regulation (EC 2016/2031).
