Where the competent authorities of a Member State become aware of operations which are, or appear to be, contrary to the rules on veterinary or zootechnical matters and which are of particular interest at Community level, and in particular: where they have, or might have, ramifications in other Member States, or where it appears to the said authorities likely that similar operations have been also carried out in other Member States, those authorities shall communicate to the Commission as quickly as possible, either on their own initiative or at the reasoned request of the Commission, all relevant information, where appropriate in the form of documents or copies or extracts from documents, necessary to determine the facts so as to enable the Commission to coordinate the action undertaken by the Member States. The Commission shall pass this information on to the competent authorities of the other Member States.
