Article 9 Entrée en vigueur

This is a brief, standard entry-into-force provision that determines when the regulation becomes legally binding.

It contains no substantive obligations or procedural requirements — its sole purpose is to fix the date from which the regulation applies.

Important points:

• The regulation enters into force on the twentieth day after its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
• This article applies to the regulation as a whole, setting the legal starting point for all obligations contained within it.
• No action is required from any specific party — this is a purely administrative provision establishing the effective date.
