Regulation 5 Recognition of authorised representatives established in TurkeyI1

This regulation applies where a statement, adopted as mentioned in Article 1(1) of the Turkish agreement, recommends implementation of the principle of mutual recognition of the rights of authorised representatives in respect of any product to which the statement relates (“the relevant product”).

Any person established in Turkey is to be treated as established in a member State for the purpose of determining whether that person is, or is eligible to be appointed as, the authorised representative of a manufacturer.

In this regulation, “authorised representative” means a person who has received a written mandate from a manufacturer to perform specified tasks on the manufacturer's behalf in accordance with the updated relevant European Union law or the updated relevant Turkish law in respect of the relevant product concerned.

In paragraph (3), “updated relevant European Union law” and “updated relevant Turkish law” have the meanings given in regulation 3(9).
