S.L. 437.45 чл. 2Border inspection post.

(1) A border inspection post consists of facilities dedicated to veterinary checks, placed under the responsibility of the official veterinarian, or in the case of fishery products either the official veterinarian or the official agent referred to in European Union Commission Decision 93/352/EEC, and localised in a manner so that the facilities constitute one complete working unit. In the case where a border inspection post is made up of more than one set of facilities but located on the same site, the geographical location of the group will qualify the border inspection post, which shall bear a single name.

(2) A border inspection post must include all the facilities specified in regulation 5, where products of animal origin from third countries can be presented for introduction into the European Community via a border inspection post in Malta, and undergo the necessary documentary, identity and physical checks.

(3) Where geography or size of the border location demands, or for the efficient management of border checks, a border inspection post may provide more than one facility or inspection centre, for conducting as necessary the checks on the categories of products for which the border inspection post is approved.
