I.- Biological processes included on the list referred to in Article L. 2141-1 shall be reassessed by the Agence de la biomédecine in the light of the criteria referred to in Article R. 2141-1-1 and the results observed, in accordance with a programme determined by the Agence. If, following this reassessment, it appears that a procedure no longer fulfils the conditions laid down in Article R. 2141-1-1 or presents a risk to public health, the Director General of the Agence de la biomédecine proposes to the Minister for Health that it be withdrawn from the list, stating the reasons for doing so.
II -A biological procedure may be temporarily or permanently withdrawn from the list referred to in Article L. 2141-1 at any time, if the conditions set out in this section are no longer met or for any public health reason.
III – Withdrawal is decided by reasoned order of the Minister for Health, either on his own initiative and, in the event of withdrawal for a period of more than three months, after a reasoned opinion from the Agence de la biomédecine, or on a reasoned proposal from the latter. The order specifies the conditions for its application to current medically assisted procreation activities.
The Agence de la biomédecine immediately informs the laboratories, health cooperation groups and organisations that use a procedure of its removal from the list mentioned in Article L. 2141-1, with a view, in particular, to implementing the provisions of the first paragraph of Article L. 1111-2, where applicable.
