(1) For the purposes of the implementation of the Agreement, in addition to the documents referred to in Annex 2 of the Agreement, the nationality of a person shall also be assumed through the comparison of fingerprints entered in the official records/data bases of the other Contracting Party.

2.3 the procedures of ` search` , ` comparison` or ` searches by comparing` as referred to in articles 3, 4 and 9 of the Treaty means the procedures by which it is established whether there is a match between respectively DNA data or dactyloscopic data, which has been communicated by one Party, with the DNA data or the dactyloscopic data stored in the data bases of one, more, or all of the other Parties;

The on-the-spot checks in slaughterhouses shall comprise a posteriori scrutiny of documents, a comparison with the entries in the computerised database for bovine animals and checks of summaries relating to the slaughter certificates or information in place thereof, which were sent to other Member States in accordance with Article Article 35(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999.

Collection and collation of data

Data collection and collation services

Collection and collation of data on levels of 3 monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD) and related substances in foodstuffs.

the results of cross-checking the information contained in the applications against that contained in the data base and the contracts,

collecting and collating data and information on the methods of diagnosis used and the results of tests carried out,

During the test the speed is recorded against time or collected by the data acquisition system so that the correctness of the cycles performed can be assessed.'

The divergences between the information available in the various Member States make comparison difficult and the collection of statistical data should not represent a heavy and unnecessary burden on the Member States.

These on-the-spot checks shall comprise a posteriori scrutiny of documents, a comparison with the entries in the computerised database and checks of summaries relating to the slaughter certificates, or information in place thereof, which were sent to other Member States in accordance with Article 35(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999.

The Commission shall determine, under the procedure laid down in Article 13, the procedures for implementing this Regulation including the measures for adjustment to economic and technical developments concerning the collection and statistical processing of data, the processing and the transmission of the results, taking into consideration the principle that the benefits of the measure must outweigh its cost and provided that major additional resources are not involved either for the Member States or for enterprises as compared with the original provisions of this Regulation, in particular:

However, the data collection systems are not harmonised and therefore do not permit comparisons between Member States.

the collection and collation of data and information concerning the diagnostic methods used and the results of the tests carried out in the Community;

Whereas the purpose of this Convention is to facilitate international trade and the collection, comparison and analysis of statistics applicable to such trade;

"comparison" shall mean the procedure of checking whether fingerprint data recorded in the database match those transmitted by a Member State.

During the test the speed is recorded against time or collected by the data acquisition system so that the correctness of the cycles performed can be assessed.`

progeny and/or sib test by means of collecting data on farms, in auction sales or in slaughter houses in such a way that a valid comparison of bulls can be made.

It is necessary to lay down precise rules on the transmission of such fingerprint data to the Central Unit, the recording of such fingerprint data and other relevant data in the central database, their storage, their comparison with other fingerprint data, the transmission of the results of such comparison and the blocking and erasure of the recorded data.

That data collection system, although not harmonised and therefore not allowing comparison between Member States, does provide a basis for evaluating the current situation concerning zoonoses and zoonotic agents in the Community.

the establishment and maintenance of a system which ensures that information about all suspected adverse reactions which are reported to the personnel of the company, and to medical representatives, is collected and collated in order to be accessible at least at one point within the Community;

The fingerprint data of an alien as referred to in paragraph 1 shall be transmitted to the Central Unit solely for the purpose of comparison with the fingerprint data of applicants for asylum transmitted by other Member States and already recorded in the central database.

Each Member State shall organize such intercalibration at national level amongst laboratories taking part in the collection and the analysis of data as may be necessary to ensure comparability of reference methods of measurement with those used in the laboratories of the Member States.

The on-the-spot checks in slaughterhouses shall comprise a posteriori scrutiny of documents, a comparison with the entries in the computerised database for bovine animals and checks of summaries relating to the slaughter certificates or information in place thereof, which were sent to other Member States in accordance with Article Article 35(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999.

The data referred to in Article 5(1)(g) and in Article 8(2) shall be recorded in the central database. Without prejudice to Article 3(3), data transmitted to the Central Unit pursuant to Article 8(2) shall be recorded for the sole purpose of comparison with data on applicants for asylum transmitted subsequently to the Central Unit. The Central Unit shall not compare data transmitted to it pursuant to Article 8(2) with any data previously recorded in the central database, nor with data subsequently transmitted to the Central Unit pursuant to Article 8(2).

As well as exploring the application of new technologies - DNA analysis for livestock identification, satellite image interpretation for crop acreage monitoring or fishing vessel identification, cross-correlation of isotopic analysis of beverages and foodstuffs to determine contents and origin, intelligence gathering from open sources, language technology to analyse multilingual documents - the JRC will continue to provide customers with the integrated knowledge that includes the entire cycle from data capture, data fusion, data mining through to visualisation and estimation.
