Definitions

For the purposes of this Regulation the following definitions shall apply:

▼M2

(a)

‘scheduled substance’ means any substance listed in Annex I that can be used for the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, including mixtures and natural products containing such substances but excluding mixtures and natural products which contain scheduled substances and which are compounded in such a way that the scheduled substances cannot be easily used or extracted by readily applicable or economically viable means, medicinal products as defined in point 2 of Article 1 of Directive 2001/83/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 1 ) and veterinary medicinal products as defined in point 2 of Article 1 of Directive 2001/82/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 2 );

▼B

(b)

‘non-scheduled substance’ means any substance which, although not listed in Annex I, is identified as having been used for the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances;

▼M2

(c)

‘placing on the market’ means any supply, whether in return for payment or free of charge, of scheduled substances in the Union; or the storage, manufacture, production, processing, trade, distribution or brokering of these substances for the purpose of supply in the Union;

▼B

(d)

‘operator’ means any natural or legal person engaged in the placing on the market of scheduled substances;

(e)

(i)

‘natural product’ means an organism or a part thereof, in any form, or any substances which occur in nature as defined in point 39 of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ).

▼B

Article 3

Requirements for the placing on the market of scheduled substances

Operators wishing to place on the market scheduled substances of categories 1 and 2 of Annex I shall be required to appoint an officer responsible for the trade in scheduled substances, to notify the competent authorities of the name and contact details of that officer and to notify them immediately of any subsequent modification of this information. The officer shall ensure that the trade in scheduled substances conducted by the operator takes place in compliance with this Regulation. The officer shall be empowered to represent the operator and to take the decisions necessary for performing the tasks specified above.

▼M2

Operators and users shall obtain a licence from the competent authorities of the Member State in which they are established before they may possess or place on the market scheduled substances of category 1 of Annex I. The competent authorities may grant special licences to pharmacies, dispensaries of veterinary medicine, certain types of public authorities or armed forces. Such special licences shall be valid only for the use of scheduled substances of category 1 of Annex I within the scope of the official duties of the operators concerned.

Any operator holding a licence shall supply scheduled substances of category 1 of Annex I only to operators or users who also hold a licence and have signed a customer declaration as provided for in Article 4(1).

▼B

When considering whether to grant a licence, the competent authorities shall take into account in particular the competence and integrity of the applicant. The licence is to be refused if there are reasonable grounds for doubting the suitability and reliability of the applicant or of the officer responsible for the trade in scheduled substances. The licence may be suspended or revoked by the competent authorities whenever there are reasonable grounds for believing that the holder is no longer a fit and proper person to hold a licence, or that the conditions under which the licence was granted are no longer fulfilled.

▼M2

Without prejudice to paragraph 8, the competent authorities may either limit the validity of the licence to a period not exceeding three years or may oblige the operators and users to demonstrate at intervals not exceeding three years that the conditions under which the licence was granted are still fulfilled. The licence shall mention the operation or operations for which it is valid, as well as the scheduled substances concerned. The competent authorities shall, in principle, grant special licences for an unlimited duration but may suspend or revoke them where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the holder is no longer a fit and proper person to hold a licence, or that the conditions under which the licence was granted are no longer fulfilled.

Operators shall obtain registration from the competent authorities of the Member State in which they are established before placing on the market scheduled substances of category 2 of Annex I. From 1 July 2015 users shall obtain a registration from the competent authorities of the Member State in which they are established before possessing scheduled substances of subcategory 2A of Annex I. The competent authorities may grant special registrations to pharmacies, dispensaries of veterinary medicine, certain types of public authorities or the armed forces. Such special registrations shall be considered valid only for the use of scheduled substances of category 2 of Annex I within the scope of the official duties of the operators or users concerned.

6a.

Any operator holding a registration shall supply scheduled substances of subcategory 2A of Annex I only to other operators or users who also hold a registration and have signed a customer declaration as provided for in Article 4(1).

6b.

When considering whether to grant registration, the competent authorities shall take into account, in particular, the competence and integrity of the applicant. They shall refuse registration if there are reasonable grounds for doubting the suitability and reliability of the applicant or of the officer responsible for the trade in scheduled substances. They may suspend or revoke registration where there are reasonable grounds for believing that the holder is no longer a fit and proper person to hold a registration, or that the conditions under which registration was granted are no longer fulfilled.

6c.

The competent authorities may require operators and users to pay a fee for the application for a licence or for registration.

Where a fee is levied, competent authorities shall consider adjusting the level of the fee depending on the size of the enterprise. Such a fee shall be levied in a non-discriminatory manner and shall not exceed the cost of processing the application.

The competent authorities shall list the operators and users that have obtained a licence or a registration in the European database referred to in Article 13a.

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15a concerning the requirements and conditions for:

(a)

granting the licence, including, where relevant, the categories of personal data to be provided;

(b)

granting registration, including where relevant the categories of personal data to be provided;

(c)

listing operators and users in the European database referred to in Article 13a, in accordance with paragraph 7 of this Article.

The categories of personal data referred to in points (a) and (b) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph shall not include special categories of data as referred to in Article 8(1) of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 4 ).

▼B

Article 4

Customer declaration

▼M2

Without prejudice to paragraph 4 of this Article, and to Articles 6 and 14, any operator established within the Union who supplies a customer with a scheduled substance of category 1 or 2 of Annex I shall obtain a declaration from the customer which shows the specific use or uses of the scheduled substances. The operator shall obtain a separate declaration for each scheduled substance. That declaration shall conform to the model set out in point 1 of Annex III. In the case of legal persons, the declaration shall be made on headed notepaper.

▼B

As an alternative to the above declaration for an individual transaction, an operator who regularly supplies a customer with a scheduled substance of category 2 of Annex I may accept a single declaration in respect of a number of transactions involving this scheduled substance over a period not exceeding one year, provided that the operator is satisfied that the following criteria have been met:

(a)

the customer has been supplied by the operator with the substance on at least three occasions in the preceding 12 months;

(b)

the operator has no reason to suppose that the substance will be used for illicit purposes;

(c)

the quantities ordered are consistent with the usual consumption for that customer.

This declaration shall conform to the model set out in point 2 of Annex III. In the case of legal persons, the declaration shall be made on headed notepaper.

▼M2

An operator supplying scheduled substances of category 1 of Annex I shall stamp and date a copy of the declaration, certifying it to be a true copy of the original. Such copy shall always accompany those substances being moved within the Union and shall be presented on request to the authorities responsible for checking vehicle contents during transport operations.

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15a concerning the requirements and conditions for obtaining and using customer declarations.

▼B

Article 5

Documentation

Without prejudice to Article 6, operators shall ensure that all transactions leading to the placing on the market of scheduled substances of categories 1 and 2 of Annex I are properly documented in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 5 below. This obligation shall not apply to those operators who hold special licences or are subject to special registration pursuant to Article 3(2) and (6) respectively.

Commercial documents such as invoices, cargo manifests, administrative documents, transport and other shipping documents shall contain sufficient information to identify positively:

(a)

the name of the scheduled substance as given in categories 1 and 2 of Annex I;

(b)

the quantity and weight of the scheduled substance and, where a mixture or natural product is concerned, the quantity and weight, if available, of the mixture or natural product as well as the quantity and weight, or the percentage by weight, of any substance or substances of categories 1 and 2 of Annex I which are contained in the mixture;

(c)

the name and address of the supplier, distributor, consignee, and, if possible, of other operators directly involved in the transaction, as referred to in Article 2(c) and (d).

The documentation must also contain a customer declaration as referred to in Article 4.

Operators shall keep such detailed records of their activities as are required to comply with their obligations under paragraph 1.

The documentation and records referred to in paragraphs 1 to 4 shall be kept for at least three years from the end of the calendar year in which the transaction referred to in paragraph 1 took place, and must be readily available for inspection by the competent authorities upon request.

The documentation may also be kept in the form of reproductions on an image medium or other data media. It must be ensured that the data stored:

(a)

match the documentation in appearance and content when made readable, and

(b)

are readily available at all times, can be made readable without delay and can be analysed by automated means for the duration of the period specified in paragraph 5.

▼M2

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15a concerning the requirements and conditions for the labelling of mixtures containing scheduled substances.

▼M2

Article 8

Notification of the competent authorities

Operators shall notify the competent authorities immediately of any circumstances, such as unusual orders or transactions involving scheduled substances to be placed on the market, which suggest that such substances might be diverted for the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. To that end, operators shall provide any available information allowing the competent authorities to verify the legitimacy of the relevant order or transaction.

Operators shall provide the competent authorities with relevant information in summary form about their transactions involving scheduled substances.

The Commission shall be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 15a concerning the requirements and conditions for operators to provide information as referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article including, where relevant, the categories of personal data to be processed for that purpose and the safeguards for processing such personal data.

Operators shall not disclose any personal data collected pursuant to this Regulation other than to the competent authorities.
