Within each of the Member States allocation of the resources assigned by the commission  shall be carried out on the  responsibility of the government, provided that the deliveries  scheduled to be supplied to other Member  States are not affected and that the Commission is  consulted concerning the portions to be allotted to export and to the operation of the coal and  steel industries.

If the portion allotted by a government to export is less than the amount taken as the basis for  calculating the total tonnage to be assigned to the Member State concerned, the Commission  shall, to the necessary extent, at the next allocation, redivide among the Member States the  resources thus made available for consumption.

If the portion allotted by a government to the operation of the coal and steel industries is  similarly less and the result is a decrease in Community production of one of these, the  tonnage assigned to the Member State concerned shall, at the next allocation, be reduced by  the amount of the decrease in production so caused.

4. In all cases, the Commission shall be responsible for allocating equitably among  Undertakings the quantities assigned to the industries within its jurisdiction, on the basis of  studies made jointly with undertakings and associations of undertakings.

5. Should the situation provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article arise, the Committee and  with the assent of the Council, decide that restrictions on exports to third countries shall be  imposed in all the Member States, or, if the Commission fails to act, the Council may, acting  unanimously, so decide on a proposal from a government.

6. The Commission may end the arrangements made under this Article after consulting the   Consultative Committee and the Council. It shall not do so if the Council unanimously  dissents.

If the Commission fails to act, the Council may, acting unanimously, itself end the  arrangements.

7. The Commission may impose upon undertakings which do not comply with decisions taken  under this Article fines not exceeding twice the value of prescribed production or deliveries  either not effected or diverted from their proper use.
