[X1 [F1 Article 127A U.K. Existing EU registrations which have effect as GB registrations

1. An existing EU registration under Articles 6, 7(1), 7(5) or 24(1) of EU REACH has effect on and after IP completion day as a GB registration (the “transferred GB registration”) if the registration—

(a) has a current connection with Great Britain, or

(b) has a relevant past connection with Great Britain (but does not have a current connection with Great Britain).

2. A registration has a current connection with Great Britain if—

(a) the registrant immediately before IP completion day is a person established in Great Britain (a “current GB registrant”), and

(b) a registration of the substance concerned by the current GB registrant is a registration of a kind that could be submitted on IP completion day under Article 6 or 7(1) or (5) of this Regulation.

3. A registration has a relevant past connection with Great Britain if—

(a) the registrant at any time in the period beginning with 29 March 2017 and ending immediately before IP completion day was a person established in Great Britain (a “former GB registrant”), and

(b) a registration of the substance concerned by the former GB registrant is a registration of a kind that could be submitted on IP completion day under Article 6 or 7(1) or (5) of this Regulation.

4. Where an existing EU registration has effect by virtue of this Article as a transferred GB registration, it has effect—

(a) if it is an existing EU registration under Article 6 of EU REACH, as a transferred GB registration under Article 6 of this Regulation;

(b) if it is an existing EU registration under Article 7(1) of EU REACH, as a transferred GB registration under Article 7(1) of this Regulation;

(c) if it is an existing EU registration under Article 7(5) of EU REACH, as a transferred GB registration under Article 7(5) of this Regulation;

(d) if it is an existing EU registration that existed by virtue of Article 24(1) of EU REACH, as a transferred GB registration that exists by virtue of Article 6 of this Regulation.

6. Where a registration that has a relevant past connection with Great Britain has effect as a transferred GB registration by virtue of this Article, the former GB registrant becomes the registrant in relation to the transferred GB registration on IP completion day.

If two or more persons have been former GB registrants at different times in the period beginning with 29 March 2017 and ending immediately before IP completion day, only the person who was the former GB registrant most recently before IP completion day is to become registrant in relation to the transferred GB registration by virtue of this paragraph.] ]
