Temporary suspension of trade-liberalisation measures
Article 3
1. Where the Commission finds that there is sufficient evidence of a failure by Armenia to comply with any of the conditions set out in Article 2, first paragraph, it may, by means of an implementing act, temporarily suspend in whole or in part the trade-liberalisation measures provided for in Article 1. That implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 5(3). 2. Where a Member State requests that the Commission suspend any of the trade-liberalisation measures provided for in Article 1 on the basis of a failure by Armenia to comply with the conditions set out in Article 2, first paragraph, point (c), the Commission shall provide, within four months of the request, a reasoned opinion on whether the claim that Armenia has failed to comply is substantiated. If the Commission concludes that the claim is substantiated, it shall initiate the procedure referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article.
