Uanset artikel 2 kan medlemsstaternes kompetente myndigheder, jf. bilag II, tillade frigivelse af visse indefrosne pengemidler eller økonomiske ressourcer eller stille visse indefrosne pengemidler eller økonomiske ressourcer til rådighed, hvis de har konstateret, at disse er nødvendige til at dække ekstraordinære udgifter, forudsat at den pågældende medlemsstat har underrettet sanktionskomitéen om denne beslutning, og at beslutningen er godkendt af sanktionskomitéen.
By way of derogation from Article 2, the competent authorities in the Member States, as listed in Annex II, may authorise the release of certain frozen funds or economic resources or the making available of certain funds or economic resources, after having determined that these are necessary to cover extraordinary expenses, provided that the Sanctions Committee has been notified of this determination by the Member State concerned and that the determination has been approved by that Committee.
