1. For the purpose of listing in the European database on drug precursors operators and users which have obtained a licence or registration pursuant to Article 3(7) of Regulation (EC) No 273/2004, each Member State shall nominate one contact point and communicate the contact details to the Commission. 2. The responsible contact point shall transmit the relevant information electronically within 30 working days of having issued the license or the registration. Where the concerned operator or user communicates changes to the relevant information to the competent authority, or where a license or a registration is suspended or revoked, the responsible contact point shall update the information within 30 working days of accepting the changes or suspending or revoking the license or the registration. 3. The Commission shall ensure that: (a) the electronic transmission of information is secure; (b) the database is restricted and accessible only to the appointed officers designated by the Member States and to the Commission officials responsible for the European database. 4. The Commission and the competent authorities shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the information on operators and users listed in the database is used only for the purpose of the official duties of the appointed officers and of the Commission officials. 5. Information on operators and users shall include the full name, the address, the licence or registration number, the validity status of the licence or registration, and the name and CN code of the scheduled substances which are covered by the respective licence or registration. 6. The Commission shall keep information on licences and registrations which have expired or have been revoked available in the database for at least three years following the date of expiry of validity or of revocation.
