Denmark has provided the Commission with all information relevant for those facilities to be included in the European List. The European List should therefore be updated to include those facilities.\n(4)\nFollowing incorporation of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 into the Agreement on the European Economic Area, Norway has informed the Commission that five ship recycling facilities located in its territory have been authorised by the competent authority in accordance with Article 14 of that Regulation. Norway has provided the Commission with all information relevant for those facilities to be included in the European List. The European List should therefore be updated to include those facilities.\n(5)\nThe Commission has received an application in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 for a ship recycling facility located in Turkey to be included in the European List. Having assessed the information and supporting evidence provided or gathered in accordance with Article 15 of that Regulation, the Commission considers that the facility complies with the requirements set out in Article 13 of that Regulation to conduct ship recycling and to be included in the European List. The European List should therefore be updated to include that facility.\n(6)\nMoreover, it is necessary to correct an error in relation to the information with regard to Article 16(2)(d) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 included in the European List for the ship recycling facility located in Finland.\n(7)\nImplementing Decision (EU) 2016/2323 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(8)\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:",
