Where a Contracting Party has detailed grounds for considering that a GMO as or in a product which has been properly notified and has received written consent under this Directive constitutes a risk to human health or the environment, that Contracting Party may restrict or prohibit the use and/or sale of that GMO as or in a product on its territory. The Contracting Party shall ensure that in the event of a severe risk, emergency measures, such as suspension or termination of the placing on the market, shall be applied, including information to the public. The Contracting Party shall immediately inform the other Contracting Parties through the EEA Joint Committee of actions taken under this Article and give reasons for its decision. 2. If a Contracting Party so requires, consultations on the appropriateness of the measures taken shall take place in the EEA Joint Committee.
