The Commission may decide, by means of an implementing act, to temporarily exclude offers of hydrogen supplies originating in the Russian Federation or Belarus from being collected through the mechanism to support the market development of hydrogen, where necessary to protect the essential security interests or the security of supply of the Union or of a Member State, provided that such measures:

(a) do not unduly disrupt the proper functioning of the internal market for hydrogen and do not undermine the security of supply of the Union or of a Member State;

(c) are taken in accordance with the rights and obligations of the Union or of the Member States with respect to third countries.
