In the event that scientific and technical developments indicate that additional information should be provided to or obtained from donors, in order, for instance, to exclude donors presenting a health risk to others, an adaptation should be made without delay. Similarly, if scientific progress suggests new eligibility criteria concerning the suitability of blood and plasma donors, new deferral criteria should be added to the list immediately. When, on imperative grounds of urgency, the normal time-limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to have recourse to the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a(6) of Decision 1999/468/EC for the adaptation to scientific and technical progress of the technical requirements concerning information to be provided to or obtained from donors, as well as requirements related to the suitability of blood and plasma donors, set out in Annexes I to IV.
