However, if necessary, the protection zone and the surveillance zone shall be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19.

3.At the duly substantiated request of a Member State a decision may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 19, with a view to amending the demarcation of the zones defined in paragraph 2, taking into account:
