(d) For approval holders that do not have their principal place of business in a Member State, reports shall be made in a form and manner established by the Agency, as soon as practicable and in any case submitted not later than 72 hours after the person or organisation has become aware of the particular occurrence, unless exceptional circumstances prevent this.
(e) The approval holder shall investigate an occurrence that has been reported under point (c), including the deficiencies that have led to that occurrence, and report to the Agency the results of its investigation and any action it intends to take or proposes to take to correct these deficiencies.
ATM/ANS equipment approval holders must establish a system for reporting, investigating, and analyzing failures, malfunctions, or defects impacting regulatory compliance.
