This article says the Royal Decree sets the rules for issuing certificates for animals and animal products required by veterinary rules. This article defines “veterinary regulations” and “certifying agent” for this Royal Decree. Los agentes certificadores must know the applicable veterinary rules, must not certify beyond their own knowledge or without verification, must not sign incomplete or uninspected certificates except in stated cases, must keep impartiality and no direct commercial interests, and must keep certificate copies for at least three years. La autoridad competente debe formar e informar de manera permanente a los agentes certificadores, hacer controles aleatorios sobre su actuación y verificar periódicamente los documentos expedidos y su archivo durante al menos tres años.
