Recital (24)

The publication of the notice on the initiation of the procedure should serve to inform the public that discussions are ongoing as regards the possible granting of a Union compulsory licence. To that end, the notice should include information on the crisis-relevant products for which a lack of adequate supply is considered to exist, as well as on the relevant intellectual property rights and the right holders, where available. The competent advisory body should assist the Commission in gathering that information. The notice should also include an invitation to the right holders, potential licensees and other interested persons to submit their comments to the Commission and the competent advisory body, including on whether voluntary licensing agreements could be concluded within a reasonable timeframe. That notice should also include information on the competent advisory body and the contact details for submitting the comments. Those rules should ensure that the procedure is inclusive and that all relevant information reaches the competent advisory body.
