This paragraph applies to a person who is included in a barred list (except a person included in pursuance of paragraph 1 or 7) if, before he was included in the list, F4DBS was unable to ascertain his whereabouts.

This paragraph also applies to such a person if—

he did not, before the end of any time prescribed for the purpose, make representations as to why he should not be included in the list, and

b

F4DBS grants him permission to make such representations out of time.

3

If a person to whom this paragraph applies makes such representations after the prescribed time—

F4DBS must consider the representations, and

if it thinks that it is not appropriate for the person to be included in the list concerned, it must remove him from the list.
