1. The Commission shall monitor compliance with the requirements set out in Article 11. 2. Irrespective of the decision by the competent accrediting officer to maintain, suspend or withdraw the accreditation of the national authorising officer, or of the decision by the national authorising officer to maintain, suspend or withdraw the accreditation of the operating structure, the Commission may withdraw or suspend the conferral of management powers at any time, in particular in the event that any of the requirements mentioned in Article 11 are not, or no longer, fulfilled. 3. Where the conferral of management powers is withdrawn or suspended by the Commission, the provisions of this paragraph shall apply.
