Article 13 U.K. Penalties

1. If the competent authority of the Member State detects a discrepancy between the physical stock, the stock registered in the records and deliveries of raw materials, or the absence of supporting documents to ensure consistency between these elements, the processor’s approval shall be withdrawn for a period to be determined by the Member States, which may not be less than three months from the date of the finding. During the period of withdrawal of approval, the processor may not take delivery of industrial raw material, but may use any industrial raw material delivered previously.

In the event of overdeclaration of the quantities of raw materials used, the processor shall be required to pay a sum of EUR 500 per tonne overdeclared.

2. Approval shall not be withdrawn in accordance with paragraph 1 where the discrepancy between the physical stock and the stock registered in the stock records is due to force majeure or if it is less than 5 % in weight of the quantity of raw materials checked or due to omissions or simple administrative errors, provided that corrective measures are taken to ensure that similar errors do not recur.
