    The first consignee shall then send the original of the certificate to the importer mentioned in box 11 of the certificate, for the purpose of the requirement laid down in the second subparagraph of Article 33(1) of Regulation (EC) No 834/2007, unless the certificate has to further accompany the consignment referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.

This copy shall carry the indication ‘COPY’ or ‘DUPLICATE’ printed or stamped thereon.

    After the splitting, the endorsed original of each extract of the certificate of inspection shall accompany the batch concerned, and shall be presented to the relevant Member State’s authority, which shall verify the batch concerned for the purpose of its release for free circulation.
