# Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/417 of 8 November 2018 laying down guidelines for the management of the European Union Rapid Information System ‘RAPEX’ established under Article 12 of Directive 2001/95/EC on general product safety and its notification system (notified under document C(2018) 7334), Division 4.4.4: Permanent withdrawal of a follow-up notification from RAPEX

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

Follow-up notifications distributed through the RAPEX application are kept in the system as long as the notification to which they are attached. The Commission may permanently withdraw a validated follow-up notification from the RAPEX application if a notification to which this follow-up notification is attached has been withdrawn from RAPEX (in accordance with Part II, Chapter 3.4.7.1.1 of these Guidelines). Furthermore, the Commission may withdraw a validated follow-up notification where it clearly provides incorrect information, and in particular where:
(a) the product found on the market by the reacting Member State is different from the product covered by the notification;
(b) the measures adopted by the reacting Member State are successfully challenged in court or in other proceedings and subsequently withdrawn;
(c) the risk assessment performed by the reacting Member State is proven to be incorrect or relates to a different product from the one covered by the notification.
The provisions of Chapters 3.4.7.1.2 and 3.4.7.1.3 apply.
Once the Commission decides to withdraw a follow-up notification it is removed from RAPEX (or otherwise made invisible to users of the system).
The Commission informs all Member States of the withdrawal of a follow-up notification via the online collaborative space referred to in Part II, Chapter 5.3.2 or through other equally effective means.
