Article 67 — Intra-EU transfers of crisis-relevant defence products

1. Where the Council activates the measure under this Article in accordance with Article 64(4) of this Regulation, and without prejudice to Directive 2009/43/EC and Member States’ prerogatives under that Directive, Member States shall ensure that applications related to intra-EU transfers are processed in an efficient and timely manner. To that end, all national authorities concerned shall ensure that the most rapid treatment legally possible is given to such applications. The Council implementing act referred to in Article 64(4) of this Regulation shall specify the timeframe within which national authorities concerned shall treat the applications once they have received all necessary information from the applicant. That timeframe shall not be longer than two weeks. 2. Where a Member State imposes, in accordance with Article 4(8) of Directive 2009/43/EC, export limitations on components which are crisis-relevant products, that Member State shall not require further authorisations for the intra-EU transfer of the components concerned where the recipient provides a declaration of use in which it declares that the components subject to that transfer licence are integrated or are to be integrated into a defence product and cannot be transferred or exported as such. This shall be without prejudice to the obligations of recipients laid down in Article 10 of Directive 2009/43/EC.
