Article 3

Where the Commission has reason to believe that the suspension provided for by this Regulation has led to a deflection of trade for a specific product it may, in accordance with the management procedure referred to in Article 4(2), provisionally repeal the suspension for a period not longer than 12 months. The payment of the import duties on products for which the suspension has been provisionally repealed shall be ensured by a security. The release of those products for free circulation in the Canary Islands shall be conditional upon the provision of such a security.

Within the 12-month period referred to in paragraph 1 the Council may, on a proposal from the Commission, decide to definitively repeal the suspension. In that case the amounts of duties covered by securities shall be definitively collected.

If no definitive decision has been adopted within the 12-month period in accordance with paragraph 2, the securities shall be released.
