When the provisions of the third paragraph of Article L. 6122-10 relating to renewal of authorisation are applied, the application is submitted as provided for in Article R. 6122-28. In this case, the authorisation holder sends a copy of the application to the Director General of the Agence de la biomédecine.
When the provisions of the last paragraph of Article L. 6122-13 relating to the continued suspension or withdrawal of the authorisation are applied, the Director General of the Regional Health Agency will seek the opinion of the Agence de la biomédecine. If the Agence de la biomédecine does not give its opinion within fifteen days of being consulted by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency, this will constitute acceptance of the measure proposed by the latter.
