与非欧盟企业终止唯一代表（OR）合同对中小企业验证流程有何影响？

How does termination of the Only Representative (OR) contract with non-EU enterprise affect the SME verification process?

中小企业验证流程与您提交注册时的信息义务有关，其中包括根据第 340/2008 号欧盟条例第 13(1) 条向 ECHA 告知费用减免资格的义务。OR 协议的终止不会影响该义务。由于您所代表的公司在注册时已享受了中小企业费用降低，因此，一旦 ECHA 启动对您代表的公司规模的验证，您作为当时指定的 OR，仍然有责任证明您有资格获得所获得的中小企业费用减免。如果未能提供完整的文件，ECHA 将认定您所代表的企业不符合所要求的中小企业费用减免资格。在这种情况下，OR 将承担已付费用与正确注册费之间的差额，以及适用的行政费用。

The SME verification process relates to your information obligations at the time of submitting your registration, which includes the obligation to inform ECHA about the eligibility for a fee reduction in accordance with Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 340/2008. The termination of the OR agreement has no consequence on that obligation. Since your represented company benefited from reduced SME fee at the time of registration, therefore you, as the appointed OR at that time, are still liable to demonstrate the eligibility for the SME fee reduction obtained, once ECHA initiates the verification of your represented company size. The failure to provide complete documentation would result in ECHA finding your represented enterprise as non-eligible for the claimed SME fee reductions. In such case, the OR would be liable for the difference between the fee already paid and the correct registration fee, as well as the applicable administrative charge.
