Article 8A Registered substancesF1
The Food Safety Authority may ask a person (“the applicant”) who applied for a registered substance to be entered in the Register to provide, within a specified period, such supplementary information or additional data as the Food Safety Authority considers necessary to evaluate that substance for the purpose of delivering its opinion to the appropriate authority prior to the determination of the authorisation status of that substance.
The Food Safety Authority may extend the period of time described in paragraph 1.
Where the Food Safety Authority makes a request under paragraph 1 and the applicant fails to provide the information or data requested within the specified period (including any extension of that period), the substance shall cease to be treated as a registered substance after the end of the day on which the applicant was required to provide the requested information but failed to do so.
Before determining the authorisation status of all registered substances (which, under Article 14, would cause Article 4(e) and 5 to begin to apply), the appropriate authority must:
have regard to substances (“unregistered substances”) other than registered substances lawfully placed on the market; and
consider the time that may reasonably be needed by a person to apply for an unregistered substance to be authorised in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and this Regulation.
