1. Where a Member State has detailed grounds for considering that a natural mineral water does not comply with the provisions laid down in this Directive, or endangers public health, albeit freely circulating in one or more Member States, that Member State may temporarily restrict or suspend trade in that product within its territory. It shall immediately inform the Commission and the other Member States thereof and give reasons for its decision.

2. At the request of any Member State or the Commission, the Member State which has recognised that water shall provide all relevant information concerning recognition of that water, together with the results of the regular checks.

3. The Commission shall examine as soon as possible the grounds adduced by the Member State referred to in paragraph 1 within the Standing Committee referred to in Article 14(1), and shall deliver its opinion forthwith and take appropriate measures.

4. If the Commission considers that amendments to this Directive are necessary in order to ensure the protection of public health, it shall adopt those amendments. Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Directive, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 14(2). On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 14(3). The Member State which has adopted safeguard measures may, in that event, retain them until the amendments have been adopted.
