Therefore, the two facilities no longer meet the requirements set out in Article 13(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 and should be removed from the European List in accordance with point (ii) of Article 16(4)(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013.\n(4)\nIt is therefore appropriate to amend Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/2323.\n(5)\nAs regards ship recycling facilities located in a third country for which an application for inclusion in the European List has been submitted to the Commission in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, the assessment of the relevant information and supporting evidence provided or gathered is still ongoing. The Commission is to adopt implementing acts pertaining to those ship recycling facilities located outside the Union once the assessment is finalised.\n(6)\nThe measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
