La Commission a demandé en référé la suspension de l'exécution du contrat mais l'engagement solennel du gouvernement danois de supprimer cette clause, qu'il reconnaissait être incompatible avec le Traité de Rome, et d'assurer le remboursement des frais de participation des soumissionnaires écartés, a permis de renoncer à cette procédure.
The Commission applied for an interim measure calling for performance of the contract to be suspended, but, after the Danish Government had given official undertakings that the clause in question, which it admitted was incompatible with the Treaty of Rome, would be deleted and that unsuccessful bidders would be refunded the costs of taking part in the competition, the proceeding was dropped.
