1. Products that have been deemed to be dangerous on the basis of a decision of a market surveillance authority in one Member State under this Regulation shall be presumed dangerous by market surveillance authorities in other Member States.

2.

Where the matter has not been referred to the Commission, the Commission may nevertheless issue an opinion on its own initiative. For the purpose of issuing an opinion referred to in this paragraph, the Commission may ask for relevant information and documents and shall invite all Member States to express their views.

3. Where the Commission issues an opinion pursuant to paragraph 2, the Member States shall take it into due account.

4. The Commission shall draw up guidelines for the practical implementation of this Article.
