Non-Conformity (or Background/ Justification in the case of Observations):
Updated legal land use and ownership paperwork from the properties that comprise the FMU, namely
the FME own areas and the farms that are administrated under leasing, have been made available. For
the leased areas, copies of the registrations and the leasing contracts have been presented. However,
when the leasing contracts were compared to the respective areas that are under the certification scope,
it was observed that, even though the FME has responsibilities over the preservation, such areas are not
mentioned in the leasing contracts.
Corrective Action Request (or Observation):
The leasing contracts should be revised to assure that the conservation areas that lie in the leased areas
and that are under the FME preservation responsibilities are duly covered in the contracts.
