In deciding whether to register the entity, the chief executive must have regard to— the time for which the continuing agreement will remain current; and the nature and extent of the assistance that has been, or is proposed to be, provided to the entity under the continuing agreement; and whether the entity has complied or is complying with the continuing agreement; and the matters stated in section 28(4). Before registering the entity, the chief executive must give it a notice— stating that the chief executive proposes to register it; and inviting it to give a written response within a stated time of at least 14 days. The chief executive must consider any written response received from the entity within the stated time before deciding whether to proceed with the registration.
