  "text": "1. Where proposed measures are subject to a written procedure, delegations have 15 working days from the sending of the proposals to adopt a position. Any committee delegation which does not express its opposition or intention to abstain before the deadline laid down in the letter is considered to have given his tacit agreement to the proposal.\nIn cases of urgency or extreme urgency, the deadlines laid down in Article 5(2) and (3) shall apply. The case of urgency or extreme urgency must be duly substantiated in writing by the Commission. In cases of extreme urgency, the agreement of delegations shall only be established if it has been expressly notified. Any absence of notifications within 48 hours will be considered as an abstention.\n2. However, if a Committee member requests that the draft measures be considered in the course of a meeting of the Committee, the written procedure shall thereby terminate and the proposed measures shall be carried over to the next meeting of the Committee.\n3. The Commission informs the Members of the Committee in writing on the outcome of a written procedure as soon as the decision in question is adopted.",
