(a)to ensure that the product is marked in accordance with requirements specified in the notice with warnings as to the risks it may present,

(b)to make the marketing of the product subject to prior conditions as specified in the notice so as to ensure the product is a safe product.

(2) The requirements referred to in paragraph (1)(a) shall be such as to ensure that the product is marked with a warning which is suitable, clearly worded and easily comprehensible.
