If the safety problem results from: - an inadequate safety level corresponding to the application of the common technical requirements and administrative procedures, or - shortcomings in the common technical requirements and administrative procedures, the Member State shall forthwith inform the Commission and the other Member States of the measures taken and the reasons therefor. 2. In the cases referred to in paragraph 1, the Commission shall consult the Member States at the earliest opportunity.
