Such implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 5(2).

2. Where the Council decides, in accordance with the procedure laid down in the Treaty, within the 12-month period referred to in paragraph 1, that the suspension is to be definitively withdrawn, the amounts of duties secured by guarantees shall be collected definitively.
