In order to allow for an efficient procedure for the establishment of a SEAP, it is necessary for the Member States, associated countries or Ukraine willing to establish a SEAP to submit an application to the Commission which should assess whether the proposed statutes of the SEAP are in conformity with this Regulation. Such an application should contain a declaration of the Member State where the SEAP is foreseen to have its statutory seat recognising the SEAP as an international body or organisation for the purpose of the application of Directives 2006/112/EC and (EU) 2020/262 as of its establishment. The Commission should assess the application without undue delay, ideally within two months of the receipt of the complete application. The Commission should be able, for this purpose, to invite the EDA to provide its expertise.
