Further clarification

Frequently asked questions

Can a delisting circular replace ongoing list monitoring?

No. It communicates a particular change; continuous monitoring and the current legal position still need to be checked.

Can Expit declare our implementing a specific national-list delisting decision gap closed?

No. Expit can support document processing, evidence reconciliation and accountable workflows. Your responsible officers and advisers must assess legal applicability, complete any required official submission and approve closure.
