of the Act. The Official Agency shall comply with the relevant requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and associated subordinate legislation. Frequency of official controls shall be determined in line with the requirements in Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625 and these official controls shall be conducted in line with the methods and techniques for official controls in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2017/625. Official controls will be conducted at a frequency decided following a risk analysis of the premises. The risk analysis is to be carried out according to documented procedures. If the inspection frequency cannot be achieved, it may be reduced after discussion and agreement with the Authority. Official controls shall be performed without prior notice, except where such notice is necessary and duly justified for the official control to be carried out. Planned sampling should, where practical, be carried out during the course of planned inspections and audits. Where official controls identify non-compliance with food law, additional official control(s) may be carried out to verify that the operator concerned has remedied the non- compliance. Such official controls shall be recorded under the inspection type “Follow-up”. Minor breaches of food law may be followed-up during the next planned official control. The Official Agency shall have due regard to recognised guidance notes, best practice or accreditation systems as may be agreed between the Official Agency and the Authority from time to time in addition to any advice which may be issued by the Authority. The Official Agency will engage in inter-agency official controls and other official activities, insofar as such activities are allowed for in law and are compatible with the strategic objectives and operational plans of the Official Agency. These inter- agency activities include, but are not limited to: (i) Sharing of information on food businesses (ii) Provision of reasonable assistance as appropriate (iii) Participation in cross-agency meetings (iv) Inter-agency training (v) Multi-disciplinary working
