S.L. 545.25 Art. 17Modification of authorisations.

(1) Subject to the following provisions in this regulation, the Regulator may at any time in the course of the period for which the authorisation is valid, modify, amend, replace, or delete the conditions of the authorisation as it considers requisite or suitable: Provided that the Regulator shall not add new authorisation conditions in the renewed authorisation to those which are already contained therein unless the adding of new specific authorisation conditions are owed to overriding reasons relating to public interest.

(2) Before making any amendments, replacements, or deletions to the authorisation, the Regulator shall:

(a) in accordance with the provisions of sub-regulation (3) communicate such amendments, replacements, or deletions to the authorisation it proposes to make;

(b) state the reasons why such amendments, replacements, or deletions are being proposed;

(c) specify the period (not being less than fifteen days from the date of publication of the notice) within which representations or objections have to be made in respect of the proposals being made:

Provided that the Regulator in doing so shall consider any representations made.

(3) The notice referred to in sub-regulation (2) shall be:

(a) brought to the attention of the Minister and the authorisation holders;

(b) brought to the public’s attention by the publication of a notice in the Gazette.
