答案(中文)
欧盟制裁包括冻结属于、拥有、持有或控制于立法为此目的而设立的名单中的法人实体,以及由这些实体拥有或控制的法人实体的经济资源的规定。一旦获悉某个法人实体受到冻结经济资源的制裁,欧洲化学品管理局 (ECHA) 有义务冻结其持有的注册。这样做是为了防止这些实体利用这些注册获取资金、商品或服务。注册必须冻结的法人实体将及时收到通知。当注册由唯一代表持有时,这也同样适用。有关因欧盟制裁而冻结注册的更多信息,请访问此链接。作为受欧盟法律约束的法人实体,您仍有责任遵守适用于您情况的制裁,并确定可能采取的行动。您可以通过此链接在欧盟委员会发布的常见问题解答中找到更多关于制裁合规的信息。请特别参阅常见问题解答 25。就您在 REACH 法规下的义务而言,您可以考虑以下事项:a) 自 2022 年 10 月 14 日起,唯一代表有义务向 ECHA 提供其所代表的非欧盟制造商的信息。有关所需提供信息的更多详细信息,请参阅 ECHA 的问答 1984。如果您是一家位于俄罗斯的制造商的唯一代表,另请参阅问答 1997;b) 如果您是联合提交的牵头注册人,并且您打算将牵头角色转让给联合提交中的另一位注册人,您可以参考 ECHA 的问答 380;c) 如果您打算根据 REACH 法规第 22(1)(c) 条和第 50 条的规定通知停止生产或进口,您可以参考 ECHA 的问答 1439。在采取上述任何行动时,您仍然有责任始终遵守制裁规定。在这方面,您可以通过此链接查看欧盟委员会的常见问题解答 11 和 13。如果您是或代表受交易禁令约束的法人实体,您还可以查看欧洲化学品管理局 (ECHA) 的常见问题解答 2069。最后,受制裁影响的注册持有人(包括唯一代表),如果希望向 ECHA 提供更多信息以协助制裁实施,请使用 ECHA 联系表。此联系表是对根据制裁法规向国家主管部门强制报告资金和经济资源的补充,而非替代。如果您对一般制裁合规情况有任何疑问,可以联系欧盟委员会或您所在成员国负责实施制裁的主管部门。
Answer (EN)
EU sanctions include provisions on the freezing of economic resources belonging to, owned, held or controlled by legal entities included in lists established in the legislation for this purpose, and by legal entities owned or controlled by those entities.Once becoming aware that a legal entity is subject to sanctions providing for the freezing of economic resources, ECHA is obliged to freeze the registrations they hold. This is done to prevent those entities from using the registrations to obtain funds, goods, or services. Legal entities whose registrations must be frozen will be informed in due course. This also applies when the registration is held by an only representative. More information on the freezing of registrations due to EU sanctions can be found at this link.For your part, as a legal entity subject to EU law, you remain responsible to comply with the sanctions applicable to your situation and to identify possible actions to be taken. You can find more information on sanction compliance in the FAQs published by the European Commission at this link. See in particular FAQ 25.As far as your obligations under the REACH Regulation are concerned, you may consider the following:a) since 14 October 2022, only representatives have been under an obligation to provide information to ECHA about the non-EU manufacturer they represent. More details on the information to be provided can be found in ECHA’s Q&A 1984. If you are an only representative of a manufacturer established in Russia, please also see Q&A 1997;b) if you are the lead registrant of a joint submission and you intend to transfer the lead role to another registrant in your joint submission, you can refer yourself to ECHA’s Q&A 380;c) if you intend to notify a cessation of manufacture or import as provided for by Articles 22(1)(c) and 50 of the REACH Regulation, you can refer yourself to ECHA’s Q&A 1439.When taking any of the actions listed above, it is still your responsibility to remain compliant with sanctions at all times. In this respect, you may check the European Commission’s FAQs 11 and 13 at this link. If you are or represent a legal entity subject to a transaction ban, you may also check ECHA’s Q&A 2069.Finally, registration holders affected by sanctions, including only representatives, who wish to provide additional information to ECHA to facilitate the implementation of sanctions should use the ECHA contact form. This is done in addition to, and does not replace, the mandatory reporting of funds and economic resources to national authorities according to sanction legislation.For any further question on your general compliance with sanctions, you can contact the European Commission or the competent authorities for the implementation of sanctions in your Member State.
