Airteagal 143

(ex Article 119 TEC)

(sean-Airteagal 119 CCE)

1. Where a Member State with a derogation is in difficulties or is seriously threatened with difficulties as regards its balance of payments either as a result of an overall disequilibrium in its balance of payments, or as a result of the type of currency at its disposal, and where such difficulties are liable in particular to jeopardise the functioning of the internal market or the implementation of the common commercial policy, the Commission shall immediately investigate the position of the State in question and the action which, making use of all the means at its disposal, that State has taken or may take in accordance with the provisions of the Treaties. The Commission shall state what measures it recommends the State concerned to take.

1. I gcás Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige a bheith i ndeacrachtaí, nó deacrachtaí a bheith ag dianbhagairt air, maidir lena chomhardú íocaíochtaí mar thoradh ar éagothromaíocht fhoriomlán sa chomhardú sin nó mar thoradh ar an saghas airgeadra atá ar láimh aige, agus nuair is dóigh go háirithe do na deacrachtaí sin oibriú an mhargaidh inmheánaigh nó cur chun feidhme comhleanúnach an chomhbheartais tráchtála a chur i gcontúirt, déanfaidh an Coimisiún imscrúdú láithreach ar riocht an Stáit i gceist agus ar an ngníomh a bheidh déanta ag an Stát sin nó a fhéadfaidh sé a dhéanamh i gcomhréir le forálacha na gConarthaí, agus úsáid á baint aige as gach meán atá ar láimh aige. Sonróidh an Coimisiún na bearta a mholann sé don Stát i dtrácht lena nglacadh.

If the action taken by a Member State with a derogation and the measures suggested by the Commission do not prove sufficient to overcome the difficulties which have arisen or which threaten, the Commission shall, after consulting the Economic and Financial Committee, recommend to the Council the granting of mutual assistance and appropriate methods therefor.

Mura leor gníomh an Bhallstáit a bhfuil maolú aige agus na bearta arna moladh ag an gCoimisiún chun na deacrachtaí atá tagtha chun cinn nó atá ag bagairt a shárú, molfaidh an Coimisiún, tar éis dul i gcomhairle leis an gCoiste Eacnamaíoch agus Airgeadais, don Chomhairle cabhair fhrithpháirteach a dheonú maille leis na modhanna iomchuí chuige sin.

The Commission shall keep the Council regularly informed of the situation and of how it is developing.

Cuirfidh an Coimisiún an Chomhairle ar an eolas go tráthrialta ar an gcor agus ar aon athrú ann.

2. The Council shall grant such mutual assistance; it shall adopt directives or decisions laying down the conditions and details of such assistance, which may take such forms as:

2. Deonóidh an Chomhairle cúnamh frithpháirteach den sórt sin; glacfaidh sí treoracha nó cinntí ag leagan síos coinníollacha agus mionsonraí do chabhair den sórt sin a fhéadfaidh a bheith mar seo a leanas:

(a) a concerted approach to or within any other international organisations to which Member States with a derogation may have recourse;

(a) triall comhbheartaithe chuig aon eagraíocht idirnáisiúnta eile, nó laistigh di, a bhféadfaidh Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige dul ar a hiontaoibh;

(b) measures needed to avoid deflection of trade where the Member State with a derogation which is in difficulties maintains or reintroduces quantitative restrictions against third countries;

(b) bearta is gá chun sraonadh trádála a sheachaint nuair a dhéanann an Stát an Ballstát a bhfuil maolú aige agus a bhfuil deacrachtaí aige srianta cainníochtúla i leith tríú tíortha a choimeád ar bun nó a thabhairt isteach athuair;

(c) the granting of limited credits by other Member States, subject to their agreement.

(c) Ballstáit eile creidmheasanna teoranta a dheonú, faoi réir a gcomhaontaithe.

3. If the mutual assistance recommended by the Commission is not granted by the Council or if the mutual assistance granted and the measures taken are insufficient, the Commission shall authorise the Member State with a derogation which is in difficulties to take protective measures, the conditions and details of which the Commission shall determine.

3. Mura ndeonaíonn an Chomhairle an chabhair fhrithpháirteach a mholann an Coimisiún nó mura leor an cúnamh frithpháirteach a dheonaítear agus na bearta a dhéantar, údaróidh an Coimisiún don Bhallstát a bhfuil maolú aige agus a bhfuil deacrachtaí aige bearta coimirce a ghlacadh agus socróidh an Coimisiún coinníollacha agus rialacha mionsonraithe na mbeart sin.

Such authorisation may be revoked and such conditions and details may be changed by the Council.

Féadfaidh an Chomhairle údarú den sórt sin a chúlghairm agus coinníollacha agus mionsonraí den sórt sin a athrú.
