In the case of products imported from countries outside the EU, an authorised representative may carry out a number of tasks on behalf of the manufacturer (66). If however, the authorised representative of a third country manufacturer supplies a product to a distributor or a consumer within the EU, he then no longer acts as a mere authorised representative but becomes the importer and is subject to the obligations of importers. Furthermore, in order to place the products falling under the scope of Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on the Union market it is required that there is an economic operator established in the Union and responsible for a number of tasks in relation to those products (67).
