Difference between a notification, a registration and an approval?

At a Advertisement (Construction and operation of an S1 facility and carrying out further genetic engineering S2 work) immediately after receipt of the notification with the competent authority.

So there must be a effective application had been submitted to the competent authority.

Accordingly, the authority responsible for receiving the application must actually be *competent*. For North Rhine-Westphalia, this means that the application must be received by the district government in Düsseldorf, which serves as the central licensing authority. This may be similar in other federal states. Receipt of an application by a supervisory authority that is not also a licensing authority is therefore not sufficient.

In addition, the correct Application form , i.e. the current form A agreed between the federal states from the LAG Genetic Engineering Page in the section for applicants. Other applications that may be found online but are not coordinated between the federal states do not trigger the fictitious effect.

Finally, the application (Form A) must be duly signed on the last page in the table field by the operator or his representative, the project manager and the BBS signed be.

The application must be competent authority actually If you submit the application in person to the authority, you can obtain a duplicate Entry stamp received. A stamp from receipt is sufficient, even if the application has not yet reached the desk of the responsible employee. When sending the application by regular mail, registered mail with return receipt is recommended, as you will then receive the return receipt as proof of receipt. In individual cases, the application (Form A) can also be submitted in advance by fax, provided that the application and the attachments are then mailed simultaneously. In this case, you should Transmission protocol Print it out (or at least archive it electronically), as this will provide evidence of receipt by the licensing authority. This procedure is sufficient for any legal action, so an application can also be faxed to the licensing authority in advance to trigger the de facto effect.

Once the application has been received in this way, the S1 work specified in the application and other work – which then does not require admission – can be started on the same day (immediately).
