Where the number of suppliers of groundhandling services is limited in accordance with Article 6, the managing body of the airport may itself provide groundhandling services without being subject to the selection procedure laid down in Articles 7 to 10. Similarly, it may, without following this procedure, authorise an undertaking to provide groundhandling services at the airport concerned: (a) if it controls that undertaking directly or indirectly; (b) if the undertaking controls it directly or indirectly. 2. Where a managing body of the airport supplying groundhandling services in accordance with paragraph (1) no longer meets the conditions of paragraph (1), this supplier may continue to provide groundhandling services for a period of five years without being subject to the selection procedure laid down in Articles 7 to 10. At the end of this five-year period, the supplier shall inform the relevant tendering authority sufficiently in advance and at least six months before the expiry of the five-year period. Financial penalties may be imposed on the supplier if it does not inform the tendering authority sufficiently in advance unless the supplier can demonstrate force majeure. If the supplier ceases its activity before the end of the five-year period, Articles 10 (4) and 10 (5) shall apply.deleted
