Article 50Application for the certificates provided for in Articles 5(2)(b), 5(3), 5(4), 8(3) and 9(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97
1.The applicant for the certificates provided for in Articles 5(2)(b), 5(3), 5(4), 8(3) and 9(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 shall, where appropriate, complete boxes 1, 2 and 4 to 19 of the application form and boxes 1 and 4 to 18 of the original and all copies.
Member States may, however, provide that only an application form is to be completed, in which case such an application may be for more than one certificate.
2.The duly completed form shall be submitted to a management authority of the Member State in which the specimens are located, together with the necessary information and the documentary evidence that that authority deems necessary so as to enable it to determine whether a certificate should be issued.
The omission of information from the application must be justified.
Where an application is made for a certificate relating to specimens for which such an application has previously been rejected, the applicant shall inform the management authority of that fact.
