                     (b)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Articles 4(3) and 6(6) of Directive 2010/35/EU, respectively Articles 6(3) and 8(8) of Directive 2014/29/EU or Articles 6(3) and 8(8) of Directive 2014/68/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient that the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland keep the technical documentation and the EU declaration of conformity or, where applicable, the attestation of conformity for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market in either the European Union or Switzerland. In case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, it shall be sufficient that the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland keep a copy of the EU declaration of conformity or, where applicable, the attestation of conformity at the disposal of the market surveillance authorities and ensure that the technical documentation can be made available to those authorities upon request for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market in either the European Union or Switzerland;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Articles 6(4), second subparagraph, and 8(6) of Directive 2014/29/EU or Articles 6(4), second subparagraph, and 8(6) of Directive 2014/68/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient that such obligations be fulfilled by the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, or, in case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, by the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland.
                  
               1.2.   Authorised representative
         
         For the purpose of the obligation in Article 5(2) of Directive 2010/35/EU, respectively Article 7(2) of Directive 2014/29/EU, or Article 7(2) of Directive 2014/68/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, authorised representative shall mean any natural or legal person established within the European Union or Switzerland who has received a written mandate from a manufacturer to act on his behalf pursuant to Article 5(1) of Directive 2010/35/EU, respectively Article 7(1) of Directive 2014/29/EU, or Article 7(1) of Directive 2014/68/EU or the corresponding Swiss provisions.
         1.3.   Cooperation with market surveillance authorities
         
         The competent national market surveillance authority of a Member State of the European Union or Switzerland may, on reasoned request, ask the relevant economic operators in the European Union and in Switzerland to provide all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product with the legislation in Section I.
         That authority may contact the economic operator established within the territory of the other Party either directly or with the assistance of the competent national market surveillance authority of the other Party. It may request manufacturers or, where applicable, authorised representatives and importers to provide the documentation in a language easily understood by that authority. It may request the economic operators to cooperate on any action taken to eliminate the risks posed by the product.
         2.   Exchange of experience
         
         Swiss designating authorities may take part in the exchange of experience between the Member States' national authorities referred to in Article 28 of Directive 2010/35/EU, Article 32 of Directive 2014/29/EU and Article 37 of Directive 2014/68/EU.

         Pursuant to Article 9(1) of the Agreement, the Parties shall ensure efficient cooperation and exchange of information between their market surveillance authorities.

They shall give each other assistance on an adequate scale by supplying information or documentation concerning economic operators based in a Member State or in Switzerland.
         5.   Procedure for dealing with products presenting a risk not restricted to the national territory
         
         Pursuant to Article 12(4) of this Agreement, where the market surveillance authorities of a Member State or Switzerland have taken action or have sufficient reason to believe that a product covered by this chapter presents a risk to the health or safety of persons or to other aspects of public interest protection referred to in the relevant legislation in Section I of this Chapter and if they consider that non-compliance is not restricted to their national territory, they shall inform the European Commission, the other Member States and Switzerland without delay of:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     the results of the evaluation and of the actions which they have required the economic operator to take,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     where the relevant economic operator does not take adequate corrective action, all appropriate provisional measures taken to prohibit or restrict the product being made available on their national market, to withdraw the product from that market or to recall it.
                  
               This information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the non-compliant product, the origin of the product, the nature of the alleged non-compliance and the risk involved, the nature and duration of the national measures taken and the arguments put forward by the relevant economic operator. In particular, it shall be indicated whether the non-compliance is due to either:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     failure of the product to meet requirements relating to the health or safety of persons or to other aspects of public interest protection in the legislation in Section I, or
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     shortcomings in the harmonised standards referred to in the legislation in Section I.
                  
               Switzerland or Member States other than the Member State initiating the procedure shall without delay inform the European Commission and the other national authorities of any measures adopted and of any additional information at their disposal relating to the non-compliance of the product concerned.
         Member States and Switzerland shall ensure that appropriate restrictive measures are taken in respect of the product concerned, such as withdrawal of the product from their market, without delay.
         6.   Safeguard procedure in case of objections against national measures
         
         Should it disagree with the notified national measure in paragraph 5, Switzerland or a Member State shall inform the European Commission of its objections within three months of the receipt of the information.
         Where, on completion of the procedure set out in paragraph 5, objections are raised by a Member State or Switzerland against a measure taken by Switzerland or a Member State or where the Commission considers a national measure to be contrary to the relevant legislation referred to in Section I, the European Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States and Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measure, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not. If the national measure is considered:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     justified, all Member States and Switzerland shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the non-compliant product is withdrawn from their markets, and shall inform the Commission accordingly,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the Member State concerned or Switzerland shall withdraw that measure.
                  
               A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 8.
         7.   Compliant products which nevertheless present a risk
         
         Where a Member State or Switzerland finds that, although a product that an economic operator has made available on the EU and on the Swiss market is in compliance with the legislation referred to in Section I of this Chapter, it presents a risk for the health or safety of persons or to other aspects of public interest protection referred to in the relevant legislation in Section I of this Chapter, it shall take all appropriate measures and immediately inform the Commission, other Member States and Switzerland. That information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the product concerned, the origin and the supply chain of the product, the nature of the risk involved and the nature and duration of the national measures taken.
         The Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measures taken, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not, and where necessary propose appropriate measures.
         A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 8.
         8.   Safeguard clause in case of remaining disagreement between the Parties
         
         In case of a disagreement between the Parties on measures at stake in paragraphs 6 and 7 above, the issue will be forwarded to the Committee, which will decide on an appropriate course of action, including the possibility to have an expert study carried out.
         Where the Committee considers that the measure is:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     justified, the Parties shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the product is withdrawn from their market;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the national authority of the Member State or Switzerland shall withdraw the measure.’

                     Manufacturers shall ensure that radio equipment shall be so constructed that it can be operated in at least one Member State or Switzerland without infringing applicable requirements on the use of the radio spectrum. In cases of restrictions on putting into service or of requirements for authorisation of use of radio equipment, information on the packaging shall identify restrictions existing in Switzerland, Member States or geographical areas within their territory.
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     For radio equipment within the scope of Article 4 of Directive 2014/53/EU and the corresponding Swiss legislation, manufacturers of radio equipment and of software allowing radio equipment to be used as intended shall, where required in the legislation under Section I, provide and continuously update the Member States, Switzerland and the Commission, with information on the compliance of intended combinations of radio equipment and software with the essential requirements set out in Directive 2014/53/EU and the corresponding Swiss legislation, in the form of a statement of compliance which includes the elements of the declaration of conformity.
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     As from 12 June 2018, where required in the legislation under Section I, manufacturers shall, prior to placing on the Parties' markets radio equipment within categories designated by the European Commission as affected by a low level of compliance, register their types within the central system mentioned in Article 5 of Directive 2014/53/EU. The European Commission shall allocate to each registered radio equipment type a registration number, which manufacturers shall affix on radio equipment placed on the market.
                     The Parties shall exchange information on registered radio equipment types affected by a low level of compliance.
                     The Parties shall take into account information on compliance of radio equipment provided by Switzerland and Member States when designating categories of radio equipment affected by a low level of compliance.
                  
               2.3.   Authorised representative
         
         For the purpose of the obligation in Article 11(2) of Directive 2014/53/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, authorised representative shall mean any natural or legal person established within the European Union or Switzerland who has received a written mandate from a manufacturer to act on his behalf pursuant to Article 11(1) of Directive 2014/34/EU or the corresponding Swiss provisions.
         2.4.   Cooperation with market surveillance authorities
         
         The competent national market surveillance authority of a Member State of the European Union or Switzerland may, on reasoned request, ask the relevant economic operators in the European Union and in Switzerland to provide all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of radio equipment with the legislation in Section I.
         That authority may contact the economic operator established within the territory of the other Party either directly or with the assistance of the competent national market surveillance authority of the other Party. It may request manufacturers or, where applicable, authorised representatives and importers to provide the documentation in a language easily understood by that authority. It may request the economic operators to cooperate on any action taken to eliminate the risks posed by the radio equipment.
         3.   Assignment of radio equipment classes
         
         Member States and Switzerland shall notify each other the interfaces they intend to regulate on their territory in cases foreseen under Article 8(1) of Directive 2014/53/EU.

         Pursuant to Article 9 paragraph1 of the Agreement, the Parties shall ensure efficient cooperation and exchange of information between their market surveillance authorities. The market surveillance authorities of Member States and Switzerland shall cooperate and exchange information. They shall give each other assistance on an adequate scale by supplying information or documentation concerning economic operators based in a Member State or in Switzerland.
         10.   Objections to harmonised standards
         
         Where Switzerland considers that compliance with a harmonised standard does not guarantee that the essential requirements of its legislation as listed in Section I will be fulfilled, it shall inform the Committee and give its reasons.
         The Committee shall consider the case and may ask the European Commission to act in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). The Committee shall be informed of the result of the procedure.

         Pursuant to Article 12(4) of this Agreement, where the market surveillance authorities of a Member State or Switzerland have found that equipment covered by this chapter does not comply with requirements laid down in the legislation in Section I of this Chapter, and if they consider that non-compliance is not restricted to their national territory, they shall inform the European Commission, the other Member States and Switzerland without delay of:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     the results of the evaluation and of the actions which they have required the economic operators to take,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     where the relevant economic operator does not take adequate corrective action, all appropriate provisional measures taken to prohibit or restrict equipment being made available on their national market, to withdraw equipment from that market or to recall it.
                  
               This information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the non-compliant equipment, its origin, the nature of the non-compliance alleged and the risk involved, the nature and duration of the national measures taken and the arguments put forward by the relevant economic operator. In particular, it shall be indicated whether the non-compliance is due to either:
         
                     —

                     unjustified, the Member State concerned or Switzerland shall withdraw that measure.
                  
               A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 14.
         13.   Compliant radio equipment which nevertheless present a risk
         
         Where a Member State or Switzerland finds that, although radio equipment that an economic operator has made available on the EU and on the Swiss market is in compliance with the legislation referred to in Section I of this Chapter, it presents a risk to health and safety of persons or to other aspects of public interest protection, it shall take all appropriate measures and immediately inform the Commission, other Member States and Switzerland. That information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the product concerned, the origin and the supply chain of the product, the nature of the risk involved and the nature and duration of the national measures taken.
         The Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measures taken, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not, and where necessary, propose appropriate measures.
         A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 14.
         14.   Safeguard clause in case of remaining disagreement between the Parties
         
         In case of a disagreement between the Parties on measures pursuant to paragraphs 10 and 11 above, the issue will be forwarded to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, which will decide on an appropriate course of action, including the possibility to have an expert study carried out.

                     (a)
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the national authority of the Member State or Switzerland shall withdraw it;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     justified, they shall take the appropriate measures to ensure that products are withdrawn from their market or recalled.’
                  
               
      
         (1)  The reference to the class identifier in Article 2 of Commission Decision 2000/299/EC does not apply.

            SECTION V
         
         
            Supplementary provisions
         
         1.   Economic operators
         
         1.1.   Specific obligations of economic operators pursuant to the legislation under Section I
         
         Pursuant to the legislation under Section I, economic operators established in the EU or Switzerland are subject to equivalent obligations.
         In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of obligations:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Articles 6(7) and 8(3) of Directive 2014/34/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient to indicate the name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland can be contacted. In case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, it shall be sufficient to indicate the name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland can be contacted;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Article 6(3) and 8(8) of Directive 2014/34/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient that the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland keep the technical documentation and the EU declaration of conformity or, where applicable, the attestation of conformity for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market in either the European Union or Switzerland. In case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, it shall be sufficient that the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland keep a copy of the EU declaration of conformity or, where applicable, the attestation of conformity at the disposal of the market surveillance authorities and ensure that the technical documentation can be made available to those authorities upon request for 10 years after the product has been placed on the market in either the European Union or Switzerland;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Article 6(4), second subparagraph, and 8(6) of Directive 2014/34/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient that such obligations be fulfilled by the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, or, in case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, by the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland.
                  
               1.2.   Authorised representative
         
         For the purpose of the obligation in Article 7(2) of Directive 2014/34/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, authorised representative shall mean any natural or legal person established within the European Union or Switzerland who has received a written mandate from a manufacturer to act on his behalf pursuant to Article 7(1) of Directive 2014/34/EU or the corresponding Swiss provisions.
         1.3.   Cooperation with market surveillance authorities
         
         The competent national market surveillance authority of a Member State of the European Union or Switzerland may, on reasoned request, ask the relevant economic operators in the European Union and in Switzerland to provide all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product with the legislation in Section I.
         That authority may contact the economic operator established within the territory of the other Party either directly or with the assistance of the competent national market surveillance authority of the other Party. It may request manufacturers or, where applicable, authorised representatives and importers to provide the documentation in a language easily understood by that authority. It may request the economic operators to cooperate on any action taken to eliminate the risks posed by the product.
         2.   Exchange of experience
         
         Swiss designating authorities may take part in the exchange of experience between the Member States' national authorities referred to in Article 32 of Directive 2014/34/EU.
         3.   Coordination of conformity assessment bodies
         
         Swiss designated conformity assessment bodies may take part in the coordination and cooperation mechanisms provided for in Article 33 of Directive 2014/34/EU, directly or by means of designated representatives.
         Conformity assessment bodies shall provide the other bodies recognised under this chapter carrying out similar conformity assessment activities covering the same product with relevant information on issues relating to negative and, on request, positive conformity assessment results.
         The Commission, the Member States, Switzerland and the other bodies recognised under this chapter may request a copy of the type examination certificates and additions thereto. On request, the Commission, Member States, and Switzerland may obtain a copy of the technical documentation and the results of the examinations carried out by a body recognised under this chapter.
         4.   Mutual assistance of market surveillance authorities
         
         Pursuant to Article 9(1) of the Agreement, the Parties shall ensure efficient cooperation and exchange of information between their market surveillance authorities. The market surveillance authorities of Member States and Switzerland shall cooperate and exchange information. They shall give each other assistance on an adequate scale by supplying information or documentation concerning economic operators based in a Member State or in Switzerland.
         5.   Procedure for dealing with products presenting a risk not restricted to the national territory
         
         Pursuant to Article 12(4) of this Agreement, where the market surveillance authorities of a Member State or Switzerland have found that a product covered by this Chapter does not comply with requirements laid down in the legislation in Section I of this Chapter, and if they consider that non-compliance is not restricted to their national territory, they shall inform the European Commission, the other Member States and Switzerland without delay of:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     the results of the evaluation and of the actions which they have required the economic operators to take,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     where the relevant economic operator does not take adequate corrective action, all appropriate provisional measures taken to prohibit or restrict the products being made available on their national market, to withdraw the product from that market or to recall it.
                  
               This information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the non-compliant product, its origin, the nature of the non-compliance alleged and the risk involved, the nature and duration of the national measures taken and the arguments put forward by the relevant economic operator. In particular, it shall be indicated whether the non-compliance is due to either:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     failure of the product to meet requirements relating to the health and safety of persons or to the protection of domestic animals or property requirements referred to in the legislation in Section I, or
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     shortcomings in the harmonised standards referred to in the legislation in Section I.
                  
               Switzerland, or Member States shall without delay inform the European Commission and the other national authorities of any measures adopted and of any additional information at their disposal relating to the non-compliance of the product concerned.
         Member States and Switzerland shall ensure that appropriate restrictive measures are taken in respect of the product concerned, such as withdrawal of product from their market, without delay.
         6.   Safeguard procedure in case of objections against national measures
         
         Should Switzerland or a Member State disagree with the national measure in paragraph 5, it shall inform the European Commission of its objections within three months of the receipt of the information.
         Where, on completion of the procedure set out in paragraph 5, objections are raised by a Member State or Switzerland against a measure taken by Switzerland or a Member State or where the Commission considers a national measure to be contrary to the relevant legislation referred to in Section I, the European Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators. It shall evaluate the national measure, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not.
         If the national measure relating to a product is considered:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     justified, all Member States and Switzerland shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the non-compliant product is withdrawn from their markets, and shall inform the Commission accordingly,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the Member State concerned or Switzerland shall withdraw that measure.
                  
               A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 8.
         7.   Compliant products which nevertheless present a risk
         
         Where a Member State or Switzerland finds that, although a product that an economic operator has made available on the EU and on the Swiss market is in compliance with the legislation referred to in Section I of this Chapter, it presents a risk for the health or safety of persons or to domestic animals or property, it shall take all appropriate measures and immediately inform the Commission, other Member States and Switzerland. That information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the product concerned, the origin and the supply chain of the product, the nature of the risk involved and the nature and duration of the national measures taken.
         The Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measures taken, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not, and, where necessary, propose appropriate measures.
         A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 8.
         8.   Safeguard clause in case of remaining disagreement between the Parties
         
         In case of a disagreement between the Parties on measures at stake in paragraphs 6 and 7 above, the issue will be forwarded to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, which will decide on an appropriate course of action, including the possibility to have an expert study carried out.
         Where the Committee considers that the measure is:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     justified, the Parties shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the product is withdrawn from their market;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the national authority of the Member State or Switzerland shall withdraw the measure.’

                     —
                  
                  
                     the results of the evaluation and of the actions which they have required the economic operators to take,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     where the relevant economic operator does not take adequate corrective action, all appropriate provisional measures taken to prohibit or restrict equipment being made available on their national market, to withdraw equipment from that market or to recall it.
                  
               This information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of non-compliant equipment, its origin, the nature of the non-compliance alleged and the risk involved, the nature and duration of the national measures taken and the arguments put forward by the relevant economic operator. In particular, it shall be indicated whether the non-compliance is due to either:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     failure of equipment to meet requirements referred to in the legislation in Section I, or
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     shortcomings in the standards referred to in the legislation in Section I.
                  
               Switzerland or Member States shall without delay inform the European Commission and the other national authorities of any measures adopted and of any additional information at their disposal relating to the non-compliance of the equipment concerned.
         Member States and Switzerland shall ensure that appropriate restrictive measures are taken in respect of equipment concerned, such as its withdrawal from their market, without delay.
         9.   Safeguard procedure in case of objections against national measures
         
         Should Switzerland or a Member State disagree with the national measure in paragraph 8, it shall inform the European Commission of its objections within three months of the receipt of the information.
         Where, on completion of the procedure set out in paragraph 8, objections are raised by a Member State or Switzerland against a measure taken by Switzerland or a Member State or where the Commission considers a national measure to be contrary to the relevant legislation referred to in Section I, the European Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators. It shall evaluate the national measure, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not.
         If the national measure is considered:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     justified, all Member States and Switzerland shall take the measures necessary to ensure that non-compliant equipment be withdrawn from their markets, and shall inform the Commission accordingly,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the Member State concerned or Switzerland shall withdraw that measure
                  
               A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 11.
         10.   Compliant equipment which nevertheless present a risk
         
         Where a Member State or Switzerland finds that, although an equipment within the scope of Directive 2014/35/EU that an economic operator has made available on the EU and on the Swiss market is in compliance with the legislation referred to in Section I of this Chapter, it presents a risk to the health or safety of persons, or to domestic animals or to property, it shall take all appropriate measures and immediately inform the Commission, other Member States and Switzerland. That information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of equipment concerned, the origin and the supply chain of the product, the nature of the risk involved and the nature and duration of the national measures taken.
         The Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measures taken, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not, and, where necessary, propose appropriate measures.
         A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 11.
         11.   Safeguard clause in case of remaining disagreement between the Parties
         
         In case of a disagreement between the Parties on measures pursuant to paragraphs 9 and 10 above, the issue will be forwarded to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, which will decide on an appropriate course of action, including the possibility to have an expert study carried out. Where the Committee considers that the measure is
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the national authority of the Member State or Switzerland shall withdraw it;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     justified, they shall take the appropriate measures to ensure that products are withdrawn from their market.’

         Where, on completion of the procedure set out in paragraph 3.4, objections are raised by a Member State or Switzerland against a measure taken by Switzerland or a Member State or where the Commission considers a national measure to be contrary to Directive 2014/31/EU or Directive 2014/32/EU, or the corresponding Swiss provisions, the European Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators. It shall evaluate the national measure, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not.
         If the national measure relating to an instrument is considered:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     justified, all Member States and Switzerland shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the non-compliant instrument is withdrawn from their markets, and shall inform the Commission accordingly,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the Member State concerned or Switzerland shall withdraw that measure.
                  
               A Party may forward the issue to the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement, pursuant to paragraph 3.8.
         3.7.   Compliant instruments which nevertheless present a risk to health and safety
         
         Where a Member State or Switzerland finds that, although an instrument that an economic operator has been made available on the EU and on the Swiss market is in compliance with Directive 2014/31/EU or Directive 2014/32/EU, respectively the relevant Swiss legislation, presents a risk to aspects of public interest protection, it shall take all appropriate measures and immediately inform the Commission, other Member States and Switzerland. That information shall include all available details, in particular the data necessary for the identification of the instrument concerned, the origin and the supply chain of the instrument, the nature of the risk involved and the nature and duration of the national measures taken.
         The Commission shall without delay enter into consultation with the Member States, Switzerland, and via the Swiss authorities the relevant economic operator or operators, and shall evaluate the national measures taken, in order to determine whether the national measure is justified or not, and where necessary, propose appropriate measures.

         Where the Committee considers that the measure is:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     justified, the Parties shall take the measures necessary to ensure that the instrument is withdrawn from their market;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     unjustified, the national authority of the Member State or Switzerland shall withdraw the measure.’
                  
               
   
   
      ATTACHMENT G
      In Annex 1, Product Sectors, Chapter 15, Medicinal products, GMP Inspection and Batch Certification should be deleted and replaced by the following:
      
         ‘CHAPTER 15
         
            MEDICINAL PRODUCTS, GMP INSPECTION AND BATCH CERTIFICATION
         
         
            Scope and coverage
         
         The provisions of this Sectoral Chapter cover all medicinal products which are industrially manufactured and to which Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements apply.
         For medicinal products covered by this Chapter, each party shall recognise the conclusions of inspections of manufacturers carried out by the relevant inspection services of the other Party and the relevant manufacturing authorisations granted by the competent authorities of the other Party. This includes that each Party recognises conclusions of inspections of manufacturers in third countries carried out by the relevant inspection services of the other Party, inter alia, within the framework of the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM).
         The Parties shall cooperate in order to achieve the best use of inspection resources by an appropriate burden sharing.
         The manufacturer's certification of the conformity of each batch to its specifications shall be recognised by the other Party without re-control at import. To the products imported from a third country and further exported to the other Party this provision applies only (1) if each batch of the medicinal products has been subject to the re-control in the territory of one of the Parties; and (2) if the manufacturer in the third country has been subject to the inspection by the competent authority of either Party of which the outcome has been that for the products or products category the manufacturer complies with Good Manufacturing Practice. If the above conditions are not met, each Party can require a re-control in its territory.
         In addition, official batch releases carried out by an authority of the exporting Party will be recognised by the other Party.
         “Medicinal products” means all products regulated by pharmaceutical legislation in the European Union and Switzerland as listed in Section I of this Chapter. The definition of medicinal products includes all human and veterinary products, such as chemical and biological pharmaceuticals, immunologicals, radio-pharmaceuticals, stable medicinal products derived from human blood or human plasma, pre-mixes for the preparation of veterinary medicated feedingstuffs and, where appropriate, vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies and homeopathic medicinal products.
         “GMP” is that part of quality assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and as required by the marketing authorisation and products specifications. For the purpose of this Chapter it includes the system whereby the manufacturer receives the specification of the product and the process from the marketing authorisation holder or applicant and ensures that the medicinal product is made in compliance with this specification.
         With respect to medicinal products covered by the legislation of one Party but not the other, the manufacturing company can request, for the purpose of this Agreement, an inspection be made by the locally competent inspection service. This provision shall apply i.a. to the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediate products and investigational medicinal products, as well as to pre-marketing inspections. Operational arrangements are detailed under Section III, paragraph 3.
         
            Certification of manufacturers
         
         At the request of an exporter, importer or the competent authority of the other Party, the authorities responsible for granting manufacturing authorisations and for supervision of the manufacture of medicinal products shall certify that the manufacturer:
         
                     —
                  
                  
                     is appropriately authorised to manufacture the relevant medicinal product, or to carry out the relevant specified manufacturing operation,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     is regularly inspected by the authorities,
                  
               
                     —
                  
                  
                     complies with the national GMP requirements recognised as equivalent by the two parties, and which are listed in Section I of this Chapter. Should different GMP requirements be used as reference, this is to be mentioned in the certificate.
                  
               For inspections in third countries, at the request of an exporter, importer or the competent authority of the other Party, the authorities responsible for the inspection shall certify that the manufacturer complies or does not comply with the GMP requirements recognised as equivalent by the two Parties, and which are listed in Section I of this Chapter.
         The certificates shall also identify the site(s) of manufacture (and contract quality control laboratories, if any) and the date of the inspection.
         Certificates shall be issued expeditiously, and the time taken should not exceed 30 calendar days. In exceptional cases, i.e. when a new inspection has to be carried out, this period may be extended to 90 days.
         
            Batch certification
         
         Each batch exported shall be accompanied by a batch certificate established by the manufacturer (self-certification) after a full qualitative analysis, a quantitative analysis of all the active ingredients and all the other tests or checks necessary to ensure the quality of the product in accordance with the requirements of the marketing authorisation. This certificate shall attest that the batch meets its specifications and shall be kept by the importer of the batch. It will be made available upon request of the competent authority.
         When issuing a certificate, the manufacturer shall take account of the provisions of the current WHO certification scheme on the quality of pharmaceutical products moving in international commerce. The certificate shall detail the agreed specifications of the product, the reference of the analytical methods and the analytical results. It shall contain a statement that the batch processing and packaging records were reviewed and found in conformity with GM P. The batch certificate shall be signed by the person responsible for releasing the batch for sale or supply, i.e. in the European Union the “qualified person” referred to in Article 48 of Directive 2001/83/EC and Article 52 of Directive 2001/82/EC, and in Switzerland the “responsible person” referred to in Articles 5 and 10 of the Ordinance on establishment licences.
         
            Official Batch Release
         
         When an official batch release procedure applies, official batch releases carried out by an authority of the exporting Party (listed in Section II) will be recognised by the other Party. The manufacturer shall provide the certificate of the official batch release.
         For the European Union, the official batch release procedure is specified in document “Control Authority Batch Release of Vaccination and Blood Products, 2001” or subsequent versions and in different specific batch release procedures. For Switzerland, the official batch release procedure is specified in Article 17 of the Federal Law on medicinal products and medical devices and in Articles 18-21 of the Ordinance of the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products on the requirements for the marketing authorisation of medicinal products.

            Additional provisions
         
         1.   Transmission of inspection reports
         
         Upon reasoned request, the relevant inspection services shall forward a copy of the last inspection report of the manufacturing site or, in case analytical operations are contracted out, of the control site. The request may concern a “full inspection report” or a “detailed report” (see item 2 below). Each party shall deal with these inspection reports with the degree of confidentiality requested by the providing Party.
         Parties will ensure that inspection reports are forwarded in no more than 30 calendar days, this period being extended to 60 days should a new inspection be carried out.
         2.   Inspection reports
         
         A “full inspection report” comprises a Site Master File (compiled by the manufacturer or by the inspectorate) and a narrative report by the inspectorate. A “detailed report” responds to specific queries about a firm by the other Party.
         3.   GMP Reference
         
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     Manufacturers shall be inspected according to the applicable GMP legislation listed in Section I.
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     With respect to medicinal products covered by the pharmaceutical legislation of the importing Party but not the exporting country, the competent inspection service of the Party willing to carry out an inspection of the relevant manufacturing operations shall inspect according to its own GMP or, in the absence of specific GMP requirements, according to the applicable GMP of the importing Party.
                     For specific products or classes of products (e.g. investigational medicinal products, starting materials not limited to active pharmaceutical ingredients), equivalence of GMP requirements shall be determined according to a procedure established by the Committee.
                  
               4.   Nature of inspections
         
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     Inspections shall routinely assess the compliance of the manufacturer with GM P. These are called general GMP inspections (also regular, periodic, or routine inspections).
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     “Product- or process-oriented” inspections (which may be “pre-marketing” inspections as relevant) focus on the manufacture of one or a series of product(s) or process(es) and include an assessment of the validation of and compliance with specific process or control aspects as described in the marketing authorisation. Where necessary, relevant product information (the quality dossier of an application/authorisation dossier) shall be provided in confidence to the inspectorate.
                  
               5.   Fees
         
         The regime of inspection/establishment fees is determined by the manufacturer's location. Inspection/establishment fees shall not be charged to manufacturers located on the territory of the other Party.
         6.   Safeguard clause for inspections
         
         Each Party reserves the right to have its own inspection conducted for reasons identified to the other Party. Such inspections are to be notified in advance to the other Party and shall, in accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement, be carried out jointly by the competent authorities of the two Parties. Recourse to this safeguard clause should be an exception.
         7.   Exchange of information on manufacturing/import authorisations and GMP compliance
         
         The Parties shall exchange information on the authorisation status of manufacturers and importers and on the outcome of the inspections, in particular by entering authorisations, GMP certificates and information on GMP non-compliance into the database on GMP managed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). GMP certificates and information on GMP-compliance shall follow the format in accordance with the procedures published by the EU.
         In accordance with the general provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall exchange any information necessary for the mutual recognition of inspections and operation of this chapter.
         The relevant authorities in Switzerland and in the European Union shall also keep each other informed of any new technical guidance or inspection procedure. Each Party shall consult the other before their adoption and shall endeavour to proceed towards their approximation.
         8.   Inspectors' training
         
         In accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement, training sessions for inspectors, organised by the authorities, shall be accessible to inspectors of the other Party. The Parties to the Agreement shall keep each other informed on these sessions.
         9.   Joint inspections
         
         In accordance with Article 12 of this Agreement, and by mutual agreement between the Parties, joint inspections may be organised. These inspections are intended to develop common understanding and interpretation of practice and requirements. The setting up of these inspections and their form shall be agreed through procedures approved by the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement.
         10.   Alert system
         
         Contact points shall be agreed between both Parties to permit authorities and manufacturers to inform the authorities of the other Party with the appropriate speed in case of quality defect, batch recalls, counterfeiting and other problems concerning quality, which could necessitate additional controls or suspension of the distribution of the batch. A detailed alert procedure shall be agreed.
         The Parties shall ensure that any suspension or withdrawal (total or partial) of a manufacturing authorisation, based on non-compliance with GMP and which could have public health implications, are communicated to each other with the appropriate degree of urgency.
         11.   Contact points
         
         For the purpose of this Agreement, the contact points for any technical question, such as exchanges of inspection reports, inspectors training sessions, technical requirements, are:

         In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of obligations:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Articles 8(6) and 10(3) of Directive 2014/33/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient to indicate the name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland can be contacted. In case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, it shall be sufficient to indicate the name, registered trade name or registered trade mark and the postal address at which the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland can be contacted;
                  
               
                     (b)

In case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, it shall be sufficient that the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland keep a copy of the EU declaration of conformity or, where applicable, the attestation of conformity at the disposal of the market surveillance authorities and ensure that the technical documentation can be made available to those authorities upon request for 10 years after the safety component for lifts has been placed on the market in either the European Union or Switzerland;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     for the purpose of the obligations in Articles 8(4), second subparagraph, and 10(6) of Directive 2014/33/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, it shall be sufficient that such obligations be fulfilled by the manufacturer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, or, in case the manufacturer is not established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland, by the importer established within the territory of either the European Union or Switzerland.
                  
               1.2.   Authorised representative
         
         For the purpose of the obligation in Article 9(2) of Directive 2014/33/EU and the corresponding Swiss provisions, authorised representative shall mean any natural or legal person established within the European Union or Switzerland who has received a written mandate from a manufacturer to act on his behalf pursuant to Article 9(1) of Directive 2014/33/EU or the corresponding Swiss provisions.
         1.3.   Cooperation with market surveillance authorities
         
         The competent national market surveillance authority of a Member State of the European Union or Switzerland may, on reasoned request, ask the relevant economic operators in the European Union and in Switzerland to provide all the information and documentation necessary to demonstrate the conformity of a product with the legislation in Section I.
         That authority may contact the economic operator established within the territory of the other Party either directly or with the assistance of the competent national market surveillance authority of the other Party. It may request manufacturers or, where applicable, authorised representatives and importers to provide the documentation in a language easily understood by that authority. It may request the economic operators to cooperate on any action taken to eliminate the risks posed by the product.
         2.   Exchange of experience
         
         Swiss designating authorities may take part in the exchange of experience between the Member States' national authorities referred to in Article 35 of Directive 2014/33/EU.
         3.   Coordination of conformity assessment bodies
         
         Swiss designated conformity assessment bodies may take part in the coordination and cooperation mechanisms provided for in Article 36 of Directive 2014/33/EU, directly or by means of designated representatives.
         4.   Mutual assistance of market surveillance authorities
         
         Pursuant to Article 9(1) of the Agreement, the Parties shall ensure efficient cooperation and exchange of information between their market surveillance authorities. The market surveillance authorities of Member States and Switzerland shall cooperate and exchange information. They shall give each other assistance on an adequate scale by supplying information or documentation concerning economic operators based in a Member State or in Switzerland.
         5.   Procedure for dealing with lifts or safety components for lifts presenting a risk not restricted to the national territory

         Both Parties shall ensure that undertakings in the explosives sector which manufacture or import explosives or assemble detonators shall mark explosives and each smallest packaging unit with a unique identification. Where an explosive is subject to further manufacturing processes, manufacturers shall not be required to mark the explosive with a new unique identification unless the original unique identification is no longer marked in compliance with Directive 2008/43/EC and/or the Explosives Ordinance.
         The unique identification shall comprise the components prescribed in the Annex to Directive 2008/43/EC and Annex 14 to the Explosives Ordinance and shall be mutually recognised by both parties.
         Each undertaking in the explosives sector and/or manufacturer shall be attributed a three-digit code by the Member State's or Swiss national authority where it is established. This three-digit code shall be mutually recognised by both Parties if the manufacturing site or the manufacturer is located in the territory of one of the Parties.
         10.   Provisions governing the supervision of transfers between the European Union and Switzerland

                     2.
                  
                  
                     Approval to transfer explosives shall be obtained by the consignee from the recipient competent authority. The competent authority shall verify that the consignee is legally authorised to acquire explosives and that he is in possession of the necessary licenses or authorisations. The economic operator responsible for the transfer shall notify the competent authorities of the transit Member State or Member States or Switzerland of any movements of explosives through the Member State concerned or Switzerland and shall obtain prior approval of the transit Member State concerned or Switzerland.
                  
               
                     3.
                  
                  
                     Where a Member State or Switzerland considers that there is a problem regarding the verification of the entitlement to acquire explosives referred to in paragraph 3, that Member State or Switzerland shall forward the available information on the subject to the European Commission which shall inform the other Member States and Switzerland accordingly through the Committee established under Article 10 of this Agreement.
                  
               
                     4.
                  
                  
                     Where the competent authority of the consignee in the Member State or Switzerland approves a transfer, it shall issue to the consignee a document which includes all the information referred to in paragraph 10(5). Such a document shall accompany the explosives until they arrive at their stated destination. It shall be produced at the request of the competent authorities. A copy of this document shall be retained by the consignee who shall present it, upon request, for examination by the competent authority of the consignee in the Member State or Switzerland.
                  
               
                     5.
                  
                  
                     Where transfers of explosives must be specially supervised in order to comply with special security requirements in the territory or part of the territory of a Member State or Switzerland, prior to the transfer the following information shall be provided by the consignee to the competent authority of the consignee in the Member State or Switzerland:

                                 the number and quantity of the explosives being transferred;
                              
                           
                                 (c)

                                 where the explosives are to be placed on the market, information on compliance with conditions for placing on the market;
                              
                           
                                 (e)
                              
                              
                                 the means of transfer and the itinerary;
                              
                           
                                 (f)
                              
                              
                                 the expected dates of departure and arrival;
                              
                           
                                 (g)
                              
                              
                                 where necessary, the precise points of entry to and exit from Member States or Switzerland.

                     Where the competent authority of a Member State or Switzerland considers that special security requirements referred to in paragraph 10(4) and 10(5) are unnecessary, explosives can be transferred on their territory or part thereof without prior provision of information within the meaning of paragraph 10(5). The recipient competent authority shall then grant an approval for a fixed period and liable to suspension or withdrawal at any time on the basis of a reasoned justification. The document referred to in paragraph 10(4), which must accompany the explosives until they arrive at their destination, shall refer solely to the abovementioned approval.
                  
               
                     7.

                     8.
                  
                  
                     No economic operator may transfer explosives unless the consignee has obtained the necessary authorisations for the transfer in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 10(2), 10(4), 10(5) and 10(6).
                  
               
                     9.
                  
                  
                     For the purposes of implementing paragraphs 4 and 5, the provisions of Decision 2004/388/EC shall apply.
                  
               11.   Information exchange
         
         In accordance with the general provisions of this Agreement, the Member States and Switzerland shall keep at each other's disposal any relevant information needed to ensure a proper implementation of Directive 2008/43/EC.’
