If the national measure is not considered to be justified, the Member State concerned shall withdraw the measure.
3. <a id="p-3"></a>Where the national measure is considered to be justified and the non-compliance of the product with digital elements is attributed to shortcomings in the harmonised standards, the Commission shall apply the procedure provided for in Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012.
