# Commission Decision of 14 December 2004 laying down guidelines for the notification of dangerous consumer products to the competent authorities of the Member States by producers and distributors, in accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document number C(2004) 4772) (Text with EEA relevance) (2004/905/EC), Division 6: FOLLOW-UP TO NOTIFICATIONS

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

After a notification is sent, various developments are possible. In particular:
the authority that has received the notification should, if appropriate, reply by asking for additional information or request the producer or distributor to take further action or measures;
producers and distributors may have to provide additional information at their own initiative or on request from the authorities on any new developments or findings and/or success or problems with any action taken;
the authority should decide where appropriate to take enforcement action and/or require producers and distributors to ensure cooperation on market surveillance or to inform the public about product identification, the nature of the risk and the measures taken, taking into account professional secrecy;
if the requirements of a RAPEX notification are fulfilled (serious risk, product marketed in several Member States), the competent authority must send a RAPEX notification to the Commission which will then transmit it to all Member States.
