Active and intelligent components

Finally the draft regulation requires that active and intelligent packagings are suitable and effective for the intended purpose and that the active and intelligent components are authorised. Authorisation will be granted after a positive opinion of the EFSA and will be valid only to the applicant for an authorisation. The authorisation will be valid for a period of ten years and may be renewed for another period of ten years. The authorisation will be published in a Decision to the applicant. In addition the active and intelligent components will be inserted in a list of authorised components.
