For example: template for research with artificialised and extracted material when they are not used for genetic research
For artificialised and extracted material, when they are not used for genetic research it suffices to submit the research project and its purpose to EC Research. The researcher is responsible for complying with all conditions (i.a. not being used for genetic research…) and confirms this in a (short) template we provide (cf. highlighted below). If EC Research does not express any concern within 28 (calendar) days after receipt of the research project and the completed declaration, the research project can start and registration in a biobank is not needed anymore. It also implies that artificialised and extracted material, when they are not used for genetic research, can be imported and exported without the need to involve a biobank, can be used without consent of the donor, are not subject to traceability requirements (towards the donor) and are exempt from obligations to report incidental findings.
