They shall specify the rehabilitation measures applicable in the event of the suspension of an authorisation or a declaration of unfitness.
2.Member States shall take steps to ensure that the undertakings and persons concerned have the possibility of appealing the decisions referred to in paragraph 1 to at least one independent and impartial body or a court of law.
