Where in a Member State a product is subject to a national market organisation or to internal rules having equivalent effect which affect the competitive position of similar production in another Member State, a counter vailing charge shall be applied by Member States to imports of this product coming from the Member State where such organisation or rules exist, unless that State applies a counter vailing charge on export.

The Commission shall adopt European regulations or decisions fixing the amount of these charges at the level required to redress the balance. It may also authorise other measures, the conditions and details of which it shall determine.
