What are the consequences of a Competent or local authority not being ready for the deadline of 28 December 2009?
There are two principal risks to not being compliant by the deadline of 28 December 2009: • The authority will technically be in infraction of the Directive, and may be singled out as non compliant when the peer review takes place. • The authority may face action by a service provider for not processing applications as legitimately expected.
