art_29__para_3

3. The Commission shall base the priority-rated requests referred to in this Article on objective, factual, measurable and substantiated data, showing that such prioritisation is indispensable in order to ensure the maintenance of vital societal functions or economic activities in the internal market, as well as having regard to the legitimate interests of the economic operator and the cost and effort required for any change in the production sequence of the supply chain. The Commission shall explicitly indicate in the priority-rated request that the economic operator remains free to refuse that request.
