Recital 14

(14) Where the Commission has extended the validity of an authorisation issued by a Member State to the territory of the whole Union by means of an implementing act, the conditions for the placing on the market of the goods concerned set out therein should apply only to those goods placed on the market after the date of entry into force of that implementing act. That implementing act could provide that the benefit of the free movement is also granted to goods already placed on the market on the basis of pre-existing authorisations. All pre-existing authorisations issued by Member States prior to the entry into force of a Commission implementing act should cease to provide a legal basis for the placing of the goods on the market after the entry into force of the Commission implementing act concerning the same goods, and Member States should take the necessary actions to that effect. Goods already placed on the market on the basis of an authorisation adopted by a Member State prior to the adoption of the Commission implementing act should not need to be withdrawn or recalled unless specific safety concerns have been identified with respect to such goods which result in the need for corrective or restrictive actions to be taken by the Commission by means of another implementing act.
