(154) The reasoned request does not necessarily mean a formal decision by an authority. According to Article 19 (1), paragraph 2 of Regulation (EU) No 765/2008, ‘market surveillance authorities may require economic operators to make such documentation and information available as appear to them to be necessary for the purpose of carrying out their activities’. For a request to be reasoned it is sufficient the market surveillance authority explains the context in which the information is requested (e.g. inspection on specific characteristics of the products, random checks, etc.).
