The manufacturer of a substance that is used safely and, in more than 99.9% of cases, used as an intermediate (and thereforeis exempted from the authorisation procedure) is deemed to have no legal grounds for claiming the suspension of the inclusion of that substance in the Candidate List for lack of urgency. Its mere inclusion should not automatically result in any significant damages to the manufacturer, neither should the Candidate List serve as a regulatory blacklist (official headnote).
