Hvis en ny medlemsstat har problemer med at tilpasse en aftale indgået med ét eller flere tredjelande inden tiltrædelsen, udtræder den i henhold til aftalens bestemmelser af den pågældende aftale.  
If a new Member State encounters difficulties in adjusting an agreement concluded with one or more third countries before accession, it shall, according to the terms of the agreement, withdraw from that agreement.
