Paragraph 16 Withdrawal noticeF1

The Executive may serve a withdrawal notice on a relevant economic operator in respect of a civil explosive if the Executive has reasonable grounds for believing that—

A withdrawal notice must prohibit the relevant economic operator from making the civil explosive available on the market without the consent of the Executive.

A withdrawal notice may require the relevant economic operator to take action to alert end-users to any risk presented by the civil explosive.

A withdrawal notice may require the relevant economic operator to keep the Executive informed of the whereabouts of any civil explosive referred to in the notice.

A consent given by the Executive pursuant to a withdrawal notice may impose such conditions on the making available on the market as the Executive considers appropriate.

Subject to sub-paragraph (7), the Executive may revoke or vary a withdrawal notice by serving a notification on the economic operator.

The Executive may not vary a withdrawal notice so as to make it more restrictive for the economic operator or more onerous for the economic operator to comply.
