(b)

where a careful consultation of the market - i.e. including the publication of a call for declarations of interest in the Official Journal of the European Communities - shows there is no offer at economically acceptable conditions for such terminal equipment complying with those common conformity specifications. In this case, on the basis of an unavoidable need, a Member State may, for a limited period of time, apply only a part of the characteristics set out in the common conformity specifications. The Member State shall inform the Commission immediately and also state what departures from the common conformity specification it intends to permit. The Commission shall consult the Committee referred to in Article 5 as a matter of urgency and may request the CEPT to revise the particular common conformity specification. In addition, the Committee shall review the situation at least every six months during the period when this waiver is applied.
