Uanset stk. 2 kan medlemsstaterne, hvis produkterne skal uddeles gratis, nøjes med at kontrollere en mindre procentdel end anført i stk. 2, men ikke under 10 % af de pågældende mængder i løbet af en producentorganisations produktionsår.
By way of derogation from paragraph 2, where the products are for free distribution, Member States may check a smaller percentage than that laid down in that paragraph, provided it is not less than 10 % of the quantities concerned during the marketing year of any given producer organisation.
