That procedure should provide for the control of the Member States in such a way that measures cannot be adopted if they are not in conformity with the opinion of the committee, except in very exceptional circumstances, where the Commission should be able, in spite of a negative opinion, to adopt and apply measures for a limited period of time. The Commission should be able to review the draft measures in the event that no opinion is delivered by the committee, taking into account the views expressed within the committee.
