Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1692 of 9 October 2019 on the application of certain registration and data-sharing provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council after the expiry of the final registration deadline for phase-in substances (Text with EEA relevance)

The specific method for calculating quantities per year of phase-in substances, as set out in Article 3(30) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, shall continue to apply only until 31 December 2019. Once a registrant has completed the registration of a substance, that registrant shall subsequently calculate his quantity of that substance per calendar year in accordance with Article 3(30) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

The expiry of the transitional regime for phase-in substances in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 shall not affect the applicability of Article 12(1)(b) of that Regulation.

After registering a substance, registrants, including those who jointly submit data with other registrants, shall continue to fulfil their data-sharing obligations in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory way as specified in Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/9. In that context, registrants may use informal communication platforms similar to the substance information exchange fora referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

1 Where data-sharing negotiations conducted in accordance with Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 result in failure to reach an agreement, the provisions of that Article shall apply only until 31 December 2019.

2 After 31 December 2019, pre-registrations made in accordance with Article 28 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 shall no longer be valid and Articles 26 and 27 shall apply to all phase-in substances.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
