(2) Every quota order made by the Executive Council under this Act and every order similarly made amending a quota order shall cease to have effect at the expiration of six months from the making thereof unless it is approved of by each House of the Oireachtas by resolution passed before the expiration of the said six months.

(3) Whenever a quota order has been revoked by an order made by the Executive Council under this Act before such quota order has been approved of by each House of the Oireachtas or a quota order has, by virtue of this section, ceased to have effect, no quota order subsequently made by the Executive Council in respect of the same or substantially the same descriptions of goods as those to which the said quota order so revoked or ceasing to have effect applied shall have effect until it has been approved of by each House of the Oireachtas by resolution, and every such order shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to have been made when it has been so approved.
