The checklist for HEC shall contain:

The proposal in question contains amendments to the definitions (Article 2 of the amended regulation), the scope (Article 3), to the rules on crossing of external borders (Article 4) and entry conditions for third country-nationals, including amendments (Article 5), border checks on persons at external borders (Article 7), separate lanes (Article 9), stamping of travel documents of third-country nationals (Article 10), the presumption as regards fulfilment of conditions of duration of stay for third country-nationals (Article 11), border surveillance (Article 12), refusal of entry (Article 13), implementation of border controls (Article ...[+++]15), specific rules for border checks (Articles 18 and 19), checks within the territory where border control at internal borders has been abolished (Article 21), as well as amendments as regards the Annexes and the committee assisting with the adoption of implementing acts (Articles 32 and 33), and notifications (Articles 34 and 35).

With regard to the other GOC arguments, the Commission notes that it sent a detailed pre-verification letter on 7 June 2012 clearly indicating (i) a proposed schedule previously agreed informally with the GOC, (ii) the purpose of the verification visit, (iii) the scope, content and object of the visit, and (iv) the possible resort to facts available for the programmes not used by the sampled exporters (see above).

The GOC added that it was entitled at a minimum to some "narrowing down" of the possible scope of the verification (e.g. by means of an advance written list of all questions that the Commission officials would ask) (95) which in the GOC view could not have been exhaustive given short duration of the visit.
