Council Regulation (EU) 2020/1785 Article 4

Council Regulation (EU) 2020/1785 Article 4

Article 4

1.   Where the Commission has reasons to believe that the suspensions provided for in this Regulation have led to a deflection of trade for a specific product, it may adopt implementing acts to temporarily withdraw the suspension for a period not longer than 12 months. Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 5(2). The payment of the import duties for products for which the suspension has been temporarily withdrawn shall be secured by a guarantee, and the release of the products concerned for free circulation in the Canary Islands shall be conditional upon the provision of such guarantee. 2.   Within the period referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, the Council shall adopt a final decision in accordance with Article 349 of the Treaty as to whether to maintain or to definitively withdraw the suspension referred to in paragraph 1. If the suspension is definitively withdrawn, the amounts of duties secured by guarantees shall be collected definitively. 3.   If no definitive decision has been adopted within the maximum period of 12 months in accordance with paragraph 2, the security guarantees shall be released.
