Default EAN Numbers

Hi,
I am looking for a little advice. We have started selling on Amazon and it is going well, I would recommend people who sell many new items to give it a try.

To list on Amazon you must have an EAN number, this is the number below the bar code on the product. About 65% of our products come with an EAN either from our supplier or the manufacturers own EAN, so we can list new items directly into the Amazon catalogue. We can create our own EAN numbers, this is done by registration and subscription with GS1 UK, my question is this can there be two or more EAN numbers for the same item. For instance a product maybe supplied by our supplier without an EAN number but that does not mean there isn't one, and as a retailer we could create one only to find latter on there was one, or many retailers could create new ones all for the same product.
I hope I have made sense,
Sean
