General principles of certification• The representative of the competent authority of dispatch issuing a certificate to
accompany a consignment of products of animal origin must sign the certificate and ensure that it bears an official stamp. This requirement applies to each sheet of the certificate if it consists of more than one.
• The original version of the certificate must accompany consignments on entry into the Community.
• Certificates must consist of:
(a) a single sheet of paper; or
(b) two or more pages that are part of a single and indivisible sheet of paper; or
(c) a sequence of pages numbered so as to indicate that it is a particular page in a finite sequence (for example, ‘page 2 of 4 pages’).
• Certificates must bear a unique identifying number. Where the certificate consists of a sequence of pages, each page must indicate this number.
• The certificate must be issued before the consignment to which it relates leaves the control of the competent authority of the country of dispatch.
