| ARTICLE 53: | Cost sharing for tests without an agreement between registrants and/or downstream users |
1. Where registrants or downstream users are required to perform a test as a result of a decision taken under this Title, those registrants or downstream users shall make every effort to reach an agreement as to who is to carry it out on behalf of the other registrants or downstream users and to inform the Agency accordingly within 90 days. If the Agency is not informed of such agreement within such 90 days, it shall designate one of the registrants or downstream users to perform the test on behalf of all of them.
2. If a registrant or downstream user performs a test on behalf of others, they shall all share the cost of that study equally.
3. In the case referred to in paragraph 1, the registrant or downstream user who performs the test shall provide each of the
others concerned with a copy of the full study report.
4. The person performing and submitting the study shall have a claim against the others accordingly. Any person concerned shall be able to make a claim in order to prohibit
another person from manufacturing, importing or placing the substance on the market if that other person either fails to pay
his share of the cost or to provide security for that amount or fails to hand over a copy of the full study report of the study performed. All claims shall be enforceable in the national courts. Any person may choose to submit their claims for remuneration
to an arbitration board and accept the arbitration order.
