2. OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE NEW OFFICIAL CONTROLS REGULATION
IMSOC

Common Health Entry Document
OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES and ATTESTATIONS
AAC
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE
PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS
ADNS
EUROPHYT

3. IMSOC Information Management System for Official Controls
Keywords: digital, integrated, interconnected, paperless.
1) Build the links with iRASFF/AAC/EUROPHYT/ADNS
(currently unidirectional link in place for TRACES Classic and iRASFF)
fulfil art. 74 non-compliance with and withdrawal of the approval of pre-export controls performed by Third Countries
2) Exchanges with National Systems (e.g. Netherlands, Germany …)
3) Conditions for Third Countries to use IMSOC System2System (e.g. New Zealand, Australia, Morocco, Argentina, Brazil, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, China…)
4) Electronic Certification (e.g. pilot with Morocco, Spain and France)

4. Opportunities Streamline control process in the EU Single Market
Paperless flow opportunity for far more efficiency
Align control performances in EU
Better implement EU access restrictions in case of issue
Feeding a common knowledge base
Predictive analysis to better target controls and align performances

5. How to: IMSOC Step by Step

6. IMSOC TODAY – an example
IMSOC will make automatic what you are currently doing manually
The original information from the BIPs is every time manually copied from one system to another, and enriched with further data
TRACES
Certification
Border Rejection (Risk to public health & Food Fraud aspect)
iRASFF Alerts
AAC/
Food Fraud
Health and Fraud aspects
IMSOC
IMSOC will be able to aggregate data on official controls from every system, and display it according to the “need to know” principle

11. 100% DOCUMENTARY CHECKS done electronically
Prediction Module
Guiding principle: automate as much as possible to allow more Inspectors on the field
100% DOCUMENTARY CHECKS done electronically
STRUCTURED DATA
IN TRACES
Based on PATTERNS in past records this analysis is able to answer specific questions
Predictive
Analysis

12. PREDICTION MODULE actual experience with KXEN and CVED-P
Keywords: pilot project, low budget, great potential, new technologies
Trade is regulated by strict legislation defined at EU level.
Controls are triggered by:
EU legislation
Personal suspicion of Inspectors
Random
PREDICTION MODULE = increase the efficiency and effectiveness for random controls

13. PREDICTION MODULE PERFORMANCE
Predictive model on Austria consignments, 30% consignments checked=> 99% of problematic consignments detected!
Analysis of Austria consignments for 2007, 2008 and 2009

14. Example of possible predictions in OCR
Article 54(3)(a)
The Commission shall establish the criteria and the procedures for determining and modifying the frequency rates of identity checks and physical according to the risk and having regards to:
Information on TC control systems;
Operators' past records;
Data in IMSOC (certificates in TRACES, notifications in RASFF, cases in AAC etc..);
Available scientific assessment;
Any other info;

15. Electronic Certification
Pilot Project ongoing for Phytosanitary certificate for Import and re-export (Morocco to Spain and Morocco to France)
