Procedure

  1. Submission of the form by the economic operator
    • Click on the ‘access the service’ button.
    • Confirm your identity using a valid means of electronic identification (Digital Mobile Key, Citizen Card or Digital Certificate).
    • Complete the form online and attach the necessary documents (see the ‘o que é necessário?’ [what is needed?]) field.
    • Submit your application.
  2. Examination of the application
    • The form and the documents will be examined by the Directorate-General for Economic Activities (DGAE).
    • If the documentation provided is incorrect or insufficient, the economic operator will be informed of the shortcomings in the declaration of mutual recognition.
    • If the documentation is in order, the DGAE will inform the Economic and Food Safety Authority (ASAE), the competent supervisory authority, that the fertilising materials have been placed on the national market under the mutual recognition procedure.
    • The advance notification of the placing of fertilising materials on the national market does not require an administrative decision, and the fertilising materials may be placed on the national market as soon as the notification has been duly made.
