Article 26 Applications

The applicant for an export permit or re-export certificate shall, where appropriate, complete boxes 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8 to 23 of the application form and boxes 1, 3, 4 and 5 and 8 to 22 of the original and all copies. F1The management authority may, however, provide that only an application form is to be completed, in which case such an application may relate to more than one shipment.

The duly completed form shall be submitted to the management authority of the F2United Kingdom and shall contain the information and be accompanied by the documentary evidence that the authority deems necessary to enable it to determine whether, on the basis of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 338/97, a permit/certificate should be issued.

The omission of information from the application must be justified.

When an application is made for an export permit or a re-export certificate relating to specimens for which such an application has previously been rejected, the applicant shall inform the management authority of that fact.

For export permits and re-export certificates concerning specimens referred to in Article 65, the applicant shall satisfy the management authority that the marking requirements laid down in Article 66 have been fulfilled.

Where in support of an application for a re-export certificate, a ‘copy for the holder’ of an import permit, or a ‘copy for the importer’ of an import notification, or a certificate issued on the basis thereof is presented, such documents shall be returned to the applicant only after amendment of the number of specimens for which the document remains valid.

Such a document shall not be returned to the applicant if the re-export certificate is granted for the total number of specimens for which the document is valid, or where the document is replaced in accordance with Article 51.

The management authority shall establish the validity of any supporting documents, where necessary in consultation with a management authority of F3a third country.

Paragraphs 5 and 6 shall apply where a certificate is presented in support of an application for an export permit.

Where, under the supervision of F4the management authority, specimens have been individually marked so as to allow an easy reference to the documents referred to in paragraphs 5 and 7, those documents shall not be required to be physically presented together with the application, provided that their number is included in the application.

In the absence of the supporting evidence referred to in paragraphs 5 to 8, the management authority shall establish the legal introduction into or acquisition in F5Great Britain of the specimens to be (re-)exported, where necessary in consultation with a management authority of F6a third country.
