The procedure describes the way to register retail activities, as defined in Chapter II of Order no. 111/2008 of the president of ANSVSA.

For the purpose of this procedure, the following quantities of products of non-animal origin obtained in the retail unit may be destined for sale to other retail units, for the purpose of 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-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 waters 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 drinks - up to 50 hl/year equivalent to 100% alcohol;

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

The applicant submits the file which includes:

- application (indicating the name and address of the unit, the activity carried out, types and quantities of products subject to retail sale, the places of retail sale of products obtained in its own unit, the number of operating personnel)

- layout of the facility where production activities are carried out

- copy - certificate of findings (or, as the case may be, registration certificate issued by the trade registry office attached to the court in whose territorial jurisdiction the activity is carried out, copy of the commercialization carnet for agricultural sector products/producer’s certificate)

- copy - identity card of the legal representative

- proof of registration fee payment

After checking the complete documentation, DSVSA notifies the representative of the unit regarding the scheduling of the on-site visit.

The document is issued to the legal representative of the unit or another person empowered through a letter of authorization issued exclusively 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-compliances are found during the on-site visit, the report details the deficiencies and the prescribed measures, as well as the deadlines for rectification, under the signature of the legal representative of the unit.

The registration document is issued within no more than 30 calendar days from the date of submission of complete documentation.

The operator who owns mobile and/or temporary food commercial units requests registration at the county and/or the Bucharest DSVSA in whose territorial jurisdiction the registered office is located.

If the sale takes place in another county, the operator notifies the county and/or the Bucharest DSVSA in whose area 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 must also be presented in original form, for verification, when collecting the registration document.
