a
the inspection report has been completed;
b
the prohibition of departure order has been lifted; or
c
an exemption has been granted.
3
The Commission shall ensure that the inspection database makes it possible to retrieve any relevant data reported by the Member States for the purpose of monitoring the implementation of this Directive.
The Commission shall ensure that the inspection database provides information for the Union risk-based targeting mechanism referred to in Article 11(2).
The Commission shall regularly review the inspection database to monitor the implementation of this Directive and call attention to any doubts regarding comprehensive implementation with the aim of instigating corrective action.
4
Member States shall at all times have access to the information recorded in the inspection database.
