Article 5

Where the Commission has reason to believe that the suspension laid down in this Regulation has led to a deflection of the trade for a specific product it may, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 11(2), temporarily withdraw the suspension for a period not longer than 12 months. Import duties for products for which the suspension has been temporarily withdrawn shall be secured by a guarantee, and the release of the products concerned for free circulation in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira shall be conditional upon the provision of such guarantee.

When the Council decides, on a proposal from the Commission within the 12-month period, that the suspension should definitively be withdrawn, the amounts of duties secured by guarantees shall be definitively collected.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.
