A person to whom paragraph 1 applies must, before the end of the 60 day post-IP completion period—\n( a ) confirm to the Agency that they are an existing authorised downstream user under EU law in relation to the substance, and\n( b ) notify the Agency of—\n( i ) the existing EU authorisation;\n( ii ) any conditions set out in the existing EU authorisation (as referred to in Article 56(2) of EU REACH);\n( iii ) the identity of the supplier of the substance to the person.\n5 . Article 66(1) does not apply to the use of a substance in accordance with Article 56(2) by virtue of this Article.\n6 . In this Article—\n“ existing authorised downstream user under EU law ” means a person who, immediately before IP completion day, is authorised to use a substance in accordance with Article 56(2) of EU REACH;\n“ existing EU authorisation ” means an authorisation granted to a person up a supply chain (as referred to in Article 56(2) of EU REACH) which is subsisting immediately before IP completion day, as it has effect in EU law;",
