The main identified costs fall on EFSA, since it will have the main responsibility of taking a decision, within tight deadlines to avoid making the authorisation procedures longer, on all confidentiality claims made by applicants in the context of authorisation procedures, in cases in which an opinion of EFSA is to be provided.
Suurem osa kindlaks tehtud kuludest jääb EFSA kanda, kuna ameti peamine ülesanne on otsuse tegemine lühikese tähtaja jooksul, et vältida loamenetluse pikale venimist; kui EFSA peab koostama arvamuse, tuleb arvesse võtta taotleja poolt loamenetluse raames esitatud konfidentsiaalsusnõuet.
