This notice is to remind traders that force majeure provisions are available. If you are unable, or believe you will be unable, to fully utilise your licence or meet the regulatory deadlines to allow release of security, you can submit a request for force majeure as provided for in Article 16 of Commission Regulation (EU) No 2016/1239.
