Verification of conditions for by-product distillation
Article 45
In relation to the measure provided for in Article 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, the competent authorities of the Member States shall carry out all necessary checks to verify the respect of the conditions and the limit provided for in Article 42 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149 in conjunction with Article 52(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. Member States may verify the respect of that limit at the level of each producer or at national level. Member States which opt for verification at national level shall not include in the alcohol balance the quantities which are not intended for distillation, nor those which are intended for the development of products other than alcohol for industrial or energy purposes.
