Plot outside the declared ProducerCountry

What the Information System does

This is our own plausibility check, not a documented rejection reason. The validation rules require a valid country for every production place (Information System validation rules, Production country); whether the plot lies inside it is not a check the documentation describes (Our own check, not an Information System rule).

What the checker reports for this file:

1. This plot sits at -5.12306, 6.12386, which is outside BR. Check the country code and the order of the coordinates. This is our own check, not a reason the Information System would reject the file., line 14, column 24

Fix it in EUDRplot

1. Open the file in the checker. The plot is drawn on the map with the declared country named.
2. Check the coordinate order. If swapping latitude and longitude would put the plot in the country, the checker says so and offers Swap longitude and latitude.
3. Otherwise check the code or the source. A wrong ProducerCountry, or a plot copied in from another supplier's file, are the other usual causes. Correct whichever is wrong.

Fix it in QGIS

1. Load country boundaries. Add a country boundary layer, for example Natural Earth's Admin 0 countries.
2. Compare. Run Join attributes by location with the plots as the base layer and countries as the join layer, then select features where the joined country code differs from ProducerCountry.
