2. Each Member State shall grant to exporters, whose fresh meat may not be introduced in accordance with Article 5 (2), the right to obtain the opinion of a veterinary expert. Each Member State shall ensure that the veterinary experts have the opportunity of determining whether the conditions of Article 5 (2) have been fulfilled before the competent authorities take other measures such as the destruction of the meat.
