Article 5 Acknowledgement of receipt of notifications and requests

Summary What does Article 5 of the ITS on supervisory cooperation say?

Article 5 directly follows Article 4, which governs how notifications and requests for cooperation are submitted.

This article deals with what happens next: how the receiving body must acknowledge and respond to those submissions.

It establishes a clear procedural obligation around timeliness and communication, ensuring the submitting body is not left without a response or update after sending a request.

Important points:

Receiving bodies are required to send an acknowledgement of receipt within 5 working days of receiving a notification or request, using the form in Annex II.
Where possible, the acknowledgement must include an estimated date of response.
Where no estimated date can be provided, the receiving body must instead commit to a regular update schedule for the submitting body.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

1. The receiving body shall send an acknowledgement of receipt to the submitting body as soon as possible and in any case within 5 working days of receipt of a notification or request made pursuant to Article 4, using the form set out in Annex II, and, where possible, indicate an estimated date of response.
1. Whenever it is not possible to indicate an estimated date of response, the receiving body shall indicate the frequency with which it will update the submitting body.
