| VII. | In order to export controlled substances in 2009, undertakings that submitted an export declaration must apply to the Commission via the ODS-database for an export authorisation number (EAN) using the online EAN application form. An EAN will be issued if the Commission is satisfied that the request is in accordance with the declaration and conforms to the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000. The applicant will be informed by e-mail about the acceptance of the request. The Commission reserves the right to withhold an EAN when the substance to be exported is not as described or may not be used for the purposes authorised or cannot be exported in compliance with the Regulation. |
