CHAPTER 5

Joint undertakings
Article 47
The Council may, when the matter has been submitted to it by the Commission, request the latter to supply such further information or to undertake such further inquiries as the Council may consider necessary.
If the Council, acting by a qualified majority, considers that a project forwarded by the Commission with an unfavourable opinion should nevertheless be carried out, the Commission shall submit to the Council the proposals and the detailed report referred to in Article 46.
Where the opinion of the Commission is favourable or in the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Council shall act by a qualified majority on each of the proposals from the Commission.
The Council shall, however, act unanimously in respect of:
1. participation by the Community in the financing of the Joint Undertaking;
2. participation by a third State, an international organisation or a national of a third State in the financing or management of the Joint Undertaking.
