The procedure describes the method of registering retail activities, as defined in Chapter II of Order no. 111/2008 of the President of ANSVSA.

For the purpose of the procedure, the following quantities of products of non-animal origin obtained in the retail unit may be intended for sale to other retail units, for sale to the final consumer:

1. milling products - up to 120 tons/year; 2. bread, specialties, and bakery products - up to 120 tons/year; 3. pasta - up to 4 tons/year;

4. pastry and confectionery products - up to 30 tons/year;

5. fruit and vegetable juices - up to 12,000 l/year;

6. products from vegetables, fruits, mushrooms - up to 10 tons/year;

7. soda/other bottled waters, except mineral and spring waters - up to 120 hl/year;

8. crude cold-pressed oils - up to 600 l/year;

9. beer - up to 3,000 hl/year;

10. wine - up to 200 hl/year;

11. distilled alcoholic beverages - up to 50 hl/year equivalent to 100% alcohol;

12. ice cream - up to 15 tons/year.

The applicant submits the file containing:

- application (specifying the name and address of the unit, the activity carried out, types and quantities of products subject to retail sale, places for retail sale of products obtained in the own unit, number of staff employed)

- layout of the premises where production activities take place

- copy - certificate of status (or, as the case may be, registration certificate issued by the trade register office attached to the court within whose territorial jurisdiction the activity is carried out, copy of agricultural sector product commercialization book/producer certificate)

- copy - identity document of the legal representative

- proof of payment of registration fee

After verifying the complete documentation, DSVSA notifies the unit's representative regarding scheduling the on-site visit.

The document is collected by the legal representative of the unit or by another person authorized through a power of attorney issued only for this purpose, signed and stamped by the legal representative of the unit.

Retail units are registered in a special register, the registration number being preceded by the letters “VA”.

If non-conformities are found during the on-site visit, the report drawn up specifies the deficiencies and the measures ordered, as well as the rectification deadlines, under the signature of the legal representative of the unit.

The registration document is issued within a maximum of 30 calendar days from the date of submission of the complete documentation.

The operator holding mobile and/or temporary food marketing units requests registration with the County DSVSA and/or the Bucharest Municipality where the registered office is located.

If sales are carried out in another county, the operator notifies the County DSVSA and/or the Bucharest Municipality where the products are to be marketed at least 10 working days before starting the activity (Annex 20 to Order no. 111/2008 of the President of ANSVSA).

NOTE:
All documents submitted/transmitted in copy shall also be presented in original form, for verification, when collecting the registration document.
