Article 14 Modifications of the monitoring plan

1. Each operator or aircraft operator shall regularly check whether 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, at least, in any of the following situations:

(a) new emissions occur due to new activities being carried out or due to the use of new fuels or materials not yet contained in the monitoring plan;

(b) a change in the availability of data, due to the use of new types of measuring instrument, sampling methods or analysis methods, or for other reasons, leads to higher accuracy in the determination of emissions;

(c) data resulting from the monitoring methodology applied previously has been found to be 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.
