Féadfaidh an Chomhairle, ar iarratas ó Bhallstát, cinneadh Eorpach a ghlacadh d'aon toil, á rá go measfar cabhair atá á tabhairt nó le tabhairt ag an Stát sin a bheith ag luí leis an margadh inmheánach, de mhaolú ar Airteagal III-167 nó ar na rialacháin Eorpacha dá bhforáiltear in Airteagal III-169, má fhágann imthosca eisceachtúla gur cinneadh cóir é sin.
