1. The Supplier shall announce the withdrawal of the Fraudulent, Corrupt, or Counterfeit Goods through such advertising media as may be determined by the Ministry or the Competent Authority, as the case may be, including visual, audio, electronic, and printed media, within a period not exceeding forty-eight (48) hours from the date of receipt of the notification. The Ministry or the Competent Authority may shorten such period where the circumstances so require, particularly where the Goods pose risks to the health and safety of humans, animals, or the environment. 2. The announcement referred to in Clause (1) of this Article shall comply with the following requirements, in a manner consistent with the nature of each advertising medium: a. The size of the announcement in printed or electronic media shall not be less than 15 cm × 15 cm, or its digital equivalent. b. It shall specify the Supplier's telephone number or email address. c. It shall include the trademark affixed to the Fraudulent, Corrupt, or Counterfeit Goods. d. It shall specify the type, model, and description of the Goods, together with the country of origin. e. It shall set out the instructions and procedures to be followed for obtaining a refund of the value of the Fraudulent, Corrupt, or Counterfeit Goods. f.

It shall be published in both Arabic and English. h. Any other controls determined by the Ministry or the Competent Authority, as the case may be, as required by the nature of each case or advertising medium. 3. The Competent Authority shall determine the number of times the announcement is to be published or any extension thereof. The Ministry may, in coordination with the Competent Authority, determine the number of the announcement or extend the publication period in any of the following cases: a. Where the Goods are distributed across more than one Emirate, thereby requiring federal coordination to standardize the announcement and withdrawal procedures. b. Where the Goods pose serious risks to the health and safety of humans, animals, or the environment. c. Where the circumstances require the standardization of the wording, timing, or scope of the announcement at the State level.
