Artikel 4 Mottagningsbevis för en begäran om samarbete eller informationsutbyte

Summary What does Article 4 of the ITS on competent authority information exchange say?

This article sits within the broader procedural framework established for cooperation between competent authorities and deals specifically with the acknowledgement stage of the request process.

Building on the request procedure set out in Article 3, it establishes how and when a requested authority must confirm receipt of a cooperation or information exchange request, and what that confirmation must contain.

It also provides a fallback mechanism for situations where a firm timeline for a full reply cannot yet be given.

Important points:

Requested authorities are required to send an acknowledgement of receipt within 5 working days, using the prescribed form in Annex II, addressed to the designated contact point from Article 2.
The acknowledgement should, where possible, include an estimated date or timeframe for the full reply.
Where no estimated timeframe can be provided, the requested authority must instead commit to a regular update frequency for the requesting authority.

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

Mottagningsbeviset ska utställas med hjälp av formuläret i bilaga II och ska om möjligt innehålla ett uppskattat datum eller en uppskattad tidsram för när ett svar kan förväntas.
