(a) to suspend or terminate the testing in real world conditions;
(b) to require the provider or prospective provider and the deployer or prospective deployer to modify any aspect of the
testing in real world conditions.

objection within the meaning of Article 60(4), point (b), the decision or the objection shall indicate the grounds therefor
and how the provider or prospective provider can challenge the decision or objection.
