13. Article 57 requires that the competent authorities be able to authorize the right holder to inspect the detained goods in order to substantiate the claims. Please explain how right holders are provided an opportunity to inspect suspect goods that have been detained by customs authorities.

The above-mentioned Regulation applied by Sweden provides that the customs authority concerned shall give the right-owner and other persons who are affected by any of the actions taken, a possibility to inspect the goods. Also in this case Swedish law does not contain any specific criteria on the way in which right-holders are to be provided an opportunity to inspect suspect goods that have been detained by customs authorities.
