Modifications of the monitoring plan
Article 14
1
Each operator or aircraft operator shall regularly check if the monitoring plan reflects the nature and functioning of the installation or aviation activity in accordance with Article 7 of Directive 2003/87/EC, and whether the monitoring methodology can be improved.
2
The operator or aircraft operator shall modify the monitoring plan in any of the following situations:
a
new emissions occur due to new activities carried out or due to the use of new fuels or materials not yet contained in the monitoring plan;
b
the change of availability of data, due to the use of new measuring instrument types, sampling methods or analysis methods, or for other reasons, leads to higher accuracy in the determination of emissions;
c
data resulting from the previously applied monitoring methodology has been found incorrect;
d
changing the monitoring plan improves the accuracy of the reported data, unless this is technically not feasible or incurs unreasonable costs;
e
the monitoring plan is not in conformity with the requirements of this Regulation and the competent authority requests the operator or aircraft operator to modify it;
f
it is necessary to respond to the suggestions for improvement of the monitoring plan contained in a verification report.
