Drug precursors - operator registration

To carry out the Operator Registration, in the case of entities involved in the production, manufacture, transformation or storage of substances listed in Category 2 of Annex I of Regulation (EC) No. 273/2004, of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 11 February, with the amendments introduced by Regulation (EC) No. 219/2009, Regulation (EU) No. 1258/2013 and Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 1443/2016.

Although Regulatory Decree No. 61/94, of 12 October, in the version given by Regulatory Decree No. 28/2009, establishes the obligation to register economic operators involved in production, manufacturing, transformation and storage of category 3 substances, the provisions of Regulation (EC) no. 273/2004, of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 11 February, prevail, which only requires operator registration in the case of category 2 substances. However, in all situations where the operator intends to register, even if not obliged to do so, DGAE services accept the corresponding request, as it is covered by national legislation.
