In order to establish a procedural framework ensuring legal certainty to the initiator of a cross-border file, the cross-border coordination point should assess the cross-border file and respond to the initiator within a reasonable time limit, which, as a rule, should be that established under national law. Where national law does not provide for a standard time limit for a response to an equivalent request, this Regulation should provide for appropriate time limits. Those time limits should start from the date of receipt of a cross-border file or a revised cross-border file, including in cases where a file has been received following a transfer from another cross-border coordination point or competent authority.
