Article 6

In the context of the inspections provided for by Community veterinary legislation and the audits to be carried out under the equivalence agreements between the Community and third countries, the Commission shall ensure that the rules and principles applied by third-country certifying officers offer guarantees at least equivalent to those laid down in this Directive. Should it emerge from these inspections and/or audits or from the checks provided for in Directives 90/675/EEC and 91/496/EEC that third-country certifying officers have not complied with these principles, additional guarantees or specific requirements may be decided on in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 7 of this Directive.
