I tilfælde, hvor der ikke er udpeget en rapporterende medlemsstat for det aktive stof, der er omfattet af en anmeldelse, vil der for at sikre, at stoffet vurderes med henblik på en godkendelse, være behov for en bekræftelse fra anmelderen af, at en kompetent myndighed accepterer at evaluere den kommende ansøgning om godkendelse af det aktive stof.
In cases where no Rapporteur Member State has been designated for the active substance concerned by a notification, and in order to ensure that the substance will be evaluated for approval, confirmation is to be required from the notifier that a competent authority agrees to evaluate the forthcoming application for approval of the active substance.
