(b)the terms of the marketing authorisation have not been complied with;

(c)the veterinary medicinal product has insufficient therapeutic effect.

(2) He must suspend, vary or revoke a marketing authorisation if he is satisfied that—

(b)the withdrawal period does not ensure that residues in foodstuffs obtained from the treated animal comply with Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2377/90;

(c)information given in the application documents is incorrect;

(d)any control tests required have not been carried out;

(e)changes have been made to the manufacturing process without the authority of the Secretary of State;

(f)any information required to be supplied to the Secretary of State has not been communicated to him.

(3) He may also suspend, vary or revoke a marketing authorisation if he is satisfied that a marketing authorisation holder has failed to make an application for a variation to take account of scientific and technical progress in manufacturing and control methods to enable a veterinary medicinal product to be manufactured and checked by means of generally accepted scientific methods.

(4) When he suspends, varies or revokes a marketing authorisation, the Secretary of State may additionally prohibit the supply of a veterinary medicinal product, and if necessary require the marketing authorisation holder to recall the product; and failure to comply with a requirement or prohibition under this sub-paragraph is an offence.
