ESA Competence<\/h1>\n

ESA Competence<\/h2>\n

If a case needs to be transmitted to ESA for reasons of competence, a corresponding decision must be taken by the Commissioner, who has received an empowerment to this effect (Commission's decision of 6 April 1994, PV (1196) adopting SEC (94) 571, point 1.b). Once this decision is taken, the documents are sent to ESA, and Member States and undertakings concerned are informed hereof – as well as further comments on the case. The Commission will continue to be associated with further proceedings undertaken by ESA.<\/p>\n

More about ESA Competence<\/h3>\n

Such transmission of cases should take place as early as feasible in the course of proceedings. It cannot take place after the sending of a statement of objections or of the letter informing an applicant that there are insufficient grounds for pursuing his complaint. Once a case has been transmitted for reasons of competence, a retransmission may no longer take place.<\/p>\n

More about the Subject<\/h3>\n

It is conceivable that the ESA and the Commission disagree on the attribution of a case. If a solution cannot be found at working level, the issue must be brought before the Joint Committee of the EEA Agreement (for further contact Unit A 5\/International Relations).<\/p>\n
