Customs authorities should ensure, by applying a risk analysis approach, that crisis-relevant products manufactured or marketed under a Union compulsory licence are not exported. To identify such products, the main source of information for such customs risk-analysis should be the Union compulsory licence itself. Information on each implementing act granting or modifying a Union compulsory licence should thus be entered by the Commission into the electronic customs risk management system referred to in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447. When customs authorities identify a product that is suspected of not complying with the export prohibition, they should suspend the export of that product and notify the Commission immediately. The Commission should inform the right holder and, where appropriate, the licensee, accordingly. The Commission should reach a conclusion on the compliance with the export prohibition within 10 working days, but should have the possibility of requiring the customs authorities to maintain the suspension where necessary. To help it in its assessment, the Commission should be able to consult the relevant right holder. Where the Commission concludes that a product does not comply with the export prohibition, customs authorities should refuse its export.
