That Regulation contains in Appendices I and II to its Annex 2 (Part-ART) templates for that authorisation and specifications associated with it.\n(2)\nExperience in the application of Regulation (EU) No 452/2014 has shown that, in order to account for frequently changing ICAO standards in a timely manner, those templates would need to be amended on a regular basis, resulting in unnecessary administrative burden. The requirement to use those templates is not justified, considering that without that requirement the European Aviation Safety Agency can establish and update itself the necessary templates. Therefore that requirement and those templates should be deleted from Regulation (EU) No 452/2014.\n(3)\nRegulation (EU) No 452/2014 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(4)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
