THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November 2013 on ship recycling                           and amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and Directive 2009/16/EC(1), and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, in particular in its Title III, lays down requirements for ship recycling facilities wishing                              to recycle ships flying the flag of a Member State of the European Union and thereby applying for inclusion in the European                              List of ship recycling facilities.

(2)Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 lists information and documentation to be provided by ship recycling companies                              as part of their application files for ship recycling facilities located in a third country for inclusion on the European                              List. Furthermore, Article 16(2) lists information to be published in the Official Journal about the ship recycling facility                              to be included in the European List.

(3)Contrary to other Implementing Acts to be adopted under the Ship Recycling Regulation, there is no directly equivalent template                              available from the Hong Kong Convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ship of 2009. The format given                              in Annex therefore comprises relevant extracts from Hong Kong Convention Appendix 5 (‘Document of Authorization of Ship Recycling’                              — DASR) and from the relevant IMO guidelines related to ship recycling facilities and adds information and documentation requirements                              added in the Ship Recycling Regulation (as listed in Articles 15(2) and 16(2) of the Regulation).

(4)Stakeholders were consulted in writing on the contents of the Decision. The Annex takes comments made into account.

(5)The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Ship Recycling Regulation Committee established                              under Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013,
