Article 34Functioning of the hub
1.Each national or supranational repository composing the repositories system shall exchange data with the hub using the data format and data exchange modalities defined by the hub.
2.When the authenticity of the unique identifier cannot be verified because a national or supranational repository does not contain a unique identifier with the product code and serial number that are identical to those of the unique identifier being verified, the national or supranational repository shall transfer the query to the hub in order to verify whether that unique identifier is stored elsewhere in the repositories system.
When the hub receives the query, the hub shall identify, on the basis of the information contained therein, all national or supranational repositories serving the territory of the Member State or Member States where the medicinal product bearing the unique identifier was intended to be placed on the market, and shall transfer the query to those repositories.
The hub shall subsequently transfer the reply of those repositories to the repository which initiated the query.
3.Where notified by a national or supranational repository of the change of status of a unique identifier, the hub shall ensure the synchronisation of that status between those national or supranational repositories serving the territory of the Member State or Member States where the medicinal product bearing the unique identifier was intended to be placed on the market.
4.When it receives the information referred to in Article 35(4), the hub shall ensure the electronic linking of the batch numbers before and after the repackaging or re-labelling operations with the set of unique identifiers decommissioned and with the set of equivalent unique identifiers placed.
