The holder of an import authorisation must immediately notify the Prefect of any changes to the operating conditions.
The Prefect who issued the authorisation to import a natural mineral water may, in the event of a variation in the quality of the water observed by the control authorities or reported by the authorisation holder and if this water presents a danger to public health or no longer meets the regulatory quality requirements, suspend, by a reasoned decision, its marketing for a maximum period of four months. It informs the Minister for Health of this decision for notification to the European Commission.
At the end of this period, the authorisation may be withdrawn by the Prefect.
