However, as indicated in the previous paragraph, if the price agreed with the international intermediary is higher than the price of the quote in force at the date mentioned above, the first will be taken to assess the operation.

The method set out in the sixth paragraph of this article shall not apply when the taxpayer demonstrates strongly that the intermediary subject of the foreigner meets, together, the following requirements:
