# The Food Irradiation (England) Regulations 2009, Paragraph 1

Extent: E+W+S

If the Agency considers that circumstances exist which, had it foreseen them (and possessed the same scientific knowledge it does now) at the time, it would have refused under paragraph 2 of Part 1 to grant the licence, it may give notice to the licensee —
(a) explaining why it would have refused to grant the licence; and
(b) informing the licensee that, unless the licensee persuades it in writing not to do so within a period of 28 days after the sending of the notice, or such longer period as it may allow, it will cancel the licence.
