# 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 (Text with EEA relevance), Article 14: Authorisation of ship recycling facilities located in the United Kingdom

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. Without prejudice to other relevant direct EU legislation provisions or provisions of this Regulation in relation to ship recycling facilities in Northern Ireland, competent authorities shall authorise ship recycling facilities ... that comply with the requirements set out in Article 13 to conduct ship recycling. That authorisation may be granted to the respective ship recycling facilities for a maximum period of five years and renewed accordingly.
Provided that the requirements of this Regulation are complied with, any permit produced pursuant to other relevant legislation, including direct EU legislation, may be combined with the authorisation under this Article to form a single permit, where such a format obviates the unnecessary duplication of information and the duplication of work by the operator of the ship recycling facility or the ship recycling company or the competent authority. In those cases the authorisation may be extended in accordance with the permit regime referred to in the first subparagraph, but not exceeding a maximum period of five years.

5. Where a ship recycling facility in Northern Ireland—
(a) has been authorised in accordance with paragraph 1; or
(b) ceases to comply with the requirements set out in Article 13,
the Secretary of State shall inform the Commission thereof without delay.
