The Director General of the Agency shall take, on behalf of the State, the decisions which, with regard to the products mentioned in Article L. 5311-1, fall within the competence of the Agency by virtue of the provisions of this Code, of Law No. 92-654 of 13 July 1992 relating to the control of the use and release of genetically modified organisms and amending Law No. 76-663 of 19 July 1976 relating to installations classified for the protection of the environment, as well as the regulatory measures taken for the application of these provisions.
Decisions taken by the Director General in application of this article are not subject to appeal. However, in the event of a serious threat to public health, the Minister for Health may, by means of a reasoned order, object to the Director General’s decision and ask him to re-examine, within a period of thirty days, the file on which the said decision was based. This objection suspends application of the decision.
Unless otherwise provided for in this Code, decisions subject to publication shall be published on the Agency’s website.
