1. The Commission shall inform the health technology developer of the assessment scope and request the submission of the dossier (first request). That request shall include the deadline for submission as well as the dossier template pursuant to Article 26(1), point (a), and refer to the requirements for the dossier in accordance with Article 9(2), (3) and (4). For medicinal products, the deadline for submission shall be at the latest 45 days prior to the envisaged date of the opinion of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use referred to in Article 5(2) of Regulation (EC) No 726/2004.

2. The health technology developer shall submit the dossier to the Commission in accordance with the submission request made pursuant to paragraph 1.

3. The health technology developer shall not submit any information, data, analyses or other evidence at the national level that has been already submitted at Union level. That requirement shall not affect requests for additional information on medicinal products that fall within the scope of early access programmes at Member State level that aim to provide patient access to medicinal products in situations of high unmet medical needs before a centralised marketing authorisation has been granted.

4. Where the Commission confirms the timely submission of the dossier pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article and that the dossier meets the requirements laid down in Article 9(2), (3) and (4), the Commission shall make the dossier available to the members of the Coordination Group in a timely manner via the IT platform referred to in Article 30 and inform the health technology developer thereof.

5. Where the Commission finds that the dossier fails to meet the requirements laid down in Article 9(2), (3) and (4), it shall request the missing information, data, analyses and other evidence from the health technology developer (second request). In such a case, the health technology developer shall submit the requested information, data, analyses and other evidence in accordance with the timeframe established pursuant to Article 15.

6. Where, after the second request referred to in paragraph 5 of this Article, the Commission deems that a dossier was not submitted in a timely manner by the health technology developer, or attests that it fails to meet the requirements laid down in Article 9(2), (3) and (4), the Coordination Group shall discontinue the joint clinical assessment. If the assessment is discontinued, the Commission shall make a statement on the IT platform referred to in Article 30, justifying the reasons for the discontinuation and shall inform the health technology developer accordingly. In the case of discontinuation of the joint clinical assessment, Article 13(1), point (d), shall not apply.

7. Where the joint clinical assessment has been discontinued and the Coordination Group, pursuant to Article 13(1), point (e), subsequently receives information, data, analyses and other evidence that formed part of the submission request referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the Coordination Group may re-initiate a joint clinical assessment in accordance with the procedure set out in this Section at the latest six months after the submission deadline referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, once the Commission has confirmed that requirements laid down in Article 9(2), (3) and (4) have been fulfilled.

8. Without prejudice to paragraph 7, where a joint clinical assessment has been re-initiated, the Commission may request the health technology developer to submit updates of previously provided information, data, analyses and other evidence.
