Forudsat at medlemsstaten garanterer, at kontrollen er mindst lige så effektiv, som den ville være, hvis den blev foretaget på stedet, kan kontrollen på den enkelte bedrift erstattes af administrativ kontrol eller kontrol på virksomhedsniveau, jf. artikel 51, stk. 5, andet afsnit, litra b).
Provided that the Member State ensures that the effectiveness of the controls is at least equal to that achieved when the controls are carried out by on-the-spot checks, controls at farm level may be replaced by administrative controls or checks at the level of undertakings as referred to in point (b) of the second subparagraph of Article 51(5).
