The Decision is valid for a period of five years after it enters into force. If the scheme, after adoption of this Decision, undergoes changes to its contents in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission shall assess the notified changes with a view to establishing whether the scheme is still adequately covering the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.
If it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be decisive for this Decision and if a severe and structural breach of those elements has taken place, the Commission may repeal this Decision.
