Changes in the LBE regarding deregistration and the Police's right to appeal

On July 1st, changes will be introduced to the Act (2010:1011) on flammable and explosive goods (LBE) and to Regulation (2010:1075) on flammable and explosive goods (FBE). Section 19 d of the LBE introduces a requirement that permit-dependent activities handling explosive goods must now deregister PBI:er, managers, and participants who no longer have significant influence over the activity, manage or participate in handling, with the permit authority. The purpose is for the permit authorities to have current information on who participates in the permit-required activity and to keep NATEV updated with current data. Each permit authority will decide how these deregistrations are handled based on any decisions or not, but the information in NATEV must be kept up to date. Regarding registration of participants, managers, and persons with significant influence over explosive goods, further, Section 18 a of the FBE states that the Police must be promptly notified if a permit authority decides to grant a permit or approve a person as a manager or participant, despite the Police's opinion that the permit or approval should not be granted. The Police will then have the opportunity to appeal the decision or approval according to Section 34 of the LBE.
