Recital 59

(59) The priority-rated request should be based on objective, factual, measurable and substantiated data. Such requests should have regard for the legitimate interests of the economic operators and the cost and effort required for any change in the production sequence. The priority-rated request should clearly specify that the choice to accept or refuse the request remains entirely with the economic operator. Where the economic operator chooses to refuse the priority-rated request, the economic operator is also free to decide whether to provide an explicit rejection and whether to provide a justification when informing the Commission of its rejection.
