Where the Commission, taking into account the relevant evidence, considers that the inclusion of a good in Annex I causes severe harm to the Union internal market due to serious and unforeseen circumstances related to the impact on the prices of goods, it is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 28 to remove this good from Annex I until those serious and unforeseeable circumstances have passed.
