Procedure for the issue of an EUR.1 movement certificate 1. An EUR.1 movement certificate shall be issued by the competent customs authorities of the Community or Ceuta and Melilla on application having been made in writing by the exporter or, under the exporter's responsibility, by his authorised representative.

2. For this purpose, the exporter or his authorised representative shall fill out both the EUR.1 movement certificate and the application form, specimens of which appear in Annex C. These forms shall be completed in one of the official languages of the Community. If they are handwritten, the forms must be completed in ink, and in capital letters. The description of the products must be given in the box reserved for this purpose without leaving any blank lines. Where the box is not completely filled, a horizontal line must be drawn below the last line of the description, the empty space being crossed through.

3. The exporter applying for the issue of an EUR.1 movement certificate must be able to submit at any time, at the request of the competent customs authorities of the Community or Ceuta and Melilla where the EUR.1 movement certificate is issued, all appropriate documents proving the originating status of the products concerned as well as the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Regulation.

4. An EUR.1 movement certificate shall be issued by the competent customs authorities of the Community or Ceuta and Melilla if the products concerned can be considered as products originating in the Community, in Ceuta and Melilla or in one of the other countries referred to in Articles 3 and 4 and fulfil the other requirements of this Regulation.

5. The issuing customs authorities shall take any steps necessary to verify the EUR.1 originating status of the products and the fulfilment of the other requirements of this Regulation. For this purpose, they shall have the right to call for any evidence and to carry out any inspection of the exporter's accounts or any other check considered appropriate.

The customs authorities with responsibility for issuing EUR.1 movement certificate shall ensure that the forms referred to in paragraph 2 are duly completed. In particular, they shall check whether the space reserved for the description of the products has been completed in such a manner as to exclude all possibility of fraudulent additions.
