Article 6 Observations sur les constatations préliminaires

Summary What does Article 6 of the Conduct of certain Commission proceedings say?

This brief article governs the right of reply for parties that have received preliminary findings from the Commission under Regulation (EU) 2022/1925.

It establishes the conditions under which the addressee may respond in writing, tying directly into the right to be heard framework set out in Article 34 of that Regulation.

The article makes clear that this right is not open-ended — it is subject to both a time-limit and formal requirements around format and length.

Important points:

Addressees of preliminary findings may submit written views and supporting evidence to the Commission, but must do so within the time-limit set by the Commission.
Responses must be concise and comply with the format and length requirements set out in Annex II of this Regulation.
The Commission is not obliged to consider any written submissions received after the time-limit has expired.

Springlex's summary of the article is a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

En vertu de l’article 34, paragraphe 1, du règlement (UE) 2022/1925, le destinataire de constatations préliminaires peut, dans le délai fixé par la Commission en vertu de l’article 34, paragraphe 2, dudit règlement, informer la Commission de son point de vue par écrit, de manière succincte et conformément aux exigences en matière de format et de longueur des documents énoncées à l’annexe II du présent règlement, et fournir des éléments de preuve à l’appui de ce point de vue. La Commission n’est pas tenue de prendre en considération les observations écrites reçues après l’expiration de ce délai.
