Article 9 Beginning of time periods
Summary What does Article 9 of the Conduct of certain Commission proceedings say?
This article establishes how time limits are to be calculated under both Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 and this Regulation.
It defers to an existing EU regulation on time calculation as the general rule, while introducing a key modification: time periods begin running on the working day after the triggering event, not on the day itself.
It also connects directly to Article 4(3), making clear that non-compliant documents can effectively pause the clock until they are corrected.
Important points:
- Time periods begin running on the working day following the relevant triggering event, not on the day of the event itself.
- Where a document does not meet the format and length requirements set out in Annex II, time periods do not start running until the document is put in order following a Commission request under Article 4(3).
- The general framework for calculating time limits is drawn from Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71, with the derogations in this article taking precedence.
Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Without prejudice to paragraph 2, the time limits under Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 and this Regulation shall be calculated in accordance with Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71.
By way of derogation from paragraph 1, time periods shall begin running on the working day following the event to which the relevant provision of Regulation (EU) 2022/1925 or this Regulation refers.
Where a document does not comply with the requirements regarding format and length laid down in Annex II to this Regulation, time periods shall not start running until the document is put in order in accordance with a request by the Commission pursuant to Article 4(3)
