ED Decision 2025/006/R

COOPERATIVE OVERSIGHT ACTIONS

The competent authorities concerned could consider any of the examples provided below to ensure continuing communication and consultation among themselves to establish efficient cooperative oversight.

(a) Develop a common toolbox of materials and checklists to be used when conducting inspections and audits.

(b) Establish procedures to cover methods and timing for communicating on and sharing of relevant information necessary for oversight, for example:

(1) sharing the result of the assessment of a management system every time an assessment is conducted by one of the competent authorities;

(2) sharing the AltMoC as soon as they are received by the competent authority of the Member State in which the organisation has its PPoB;

(3) ensuring a prompt reaction if one of the competent authorities shares serious concerns about the organisation with another competent authority.

(c) Develop a common training programme and deliver training sessions for all GH inspectors.

(d) Organise joint inspections and audits.

(e) Discuss the findings raised, their legal basis and the corrective actions proposed by the organisation. Identify the best way forward for similar cases.

(f) Organise recurrent training sessions that include the sharing of experiences with competent authorities in other Member States and exchange of best practices with inspectors from other competent authorities.

(g) Additional support could include the translation of relevant parts of audit reports or of occurrence reports from the original language into English or any other language upon which the competent authorities concerned agree.
