Article 8B Determination of authorisation status: registered substancesF1
For the purposes of Article 8A, determining the authorisation status of a registered substance is to consist of the appropriate authority determining whether the registered substance is:
to be authorised for placing on the market or for use in contact with food;
to cease to be permitted to be placed on the market or used in contact with food, and to cease to be a registered substance.
A determination of a type falling within paragraph 1(b) may specify a period of time, or different periods of time, within which:
existing stocks of the registered substance concerned, and any products derived from it or containing it, may be placed on the market or used;
the registered substance concerned, and any products derived from it or containing it, may continue to be produced, placed on the market or used;
the labelling of the registered substance concerned, and any products derived from it or containing it, may continue to be applied.
Where the appropriate authority makes a determination as to the authorisation status of a registered substance, the appropriate authority must:
in the event of a determination to authorise the substance, specify the date on which the authorisation is to have effect; and
communicate the determination to the Food Safety Authority.
