• MB Decision No 01-2023 found in: Third Country Operators (Jul 2026)

## Article 13 — Termination of an initial evaluation *MB Decision No 01-2023* 1. The Agency may terminate an initial evaluation procedure when the applicant is unable or unwilling to demonstrate compliance with [Part‑TCO](#_DxCrossRefBm154916692) as demonstrated by: a. a lack of transparency or adequate and timely communication on the part of the applicant; or b. an inappropriate or insufficient corrective action plan presented in response to findings. 2. If during an initial evaluation procedure the Agency determines that the number and/or nature of non-compliance findings of an applicant is such that permanent rectification of all level 1 findings within 3 months after their initial notification is unlikely or unrealistic, the Agency may decide to reject the application on grounds of significant systemic non-compliance with Part‑TCO in accordance with [ART.200](#_DxCrossRefBm154916710)(e)(1).
