Article 5 Suspension and revocation of approval of facilitiesI1

The F1Scottish Ministers may by notice in writing given to the operator of an approved facility suspend or revoke an approval granted under article 4 if they have reason to believe that any conditions of the facility’s approval have not been, or are not being, complied with.

For the purpose of deciding whether to suspend or revoke an approval under paragraph (1), the Scottish Ministers may require the operator of the facility to arrange or permit such inspections as the Scottish Ministers consider necessary.

Suspension of an approval under paragraph (1) lasts for such period, or until such a state of affairs exists, as the Scottish Ministers specify when suspending the approval.

The operator of an approved facility may by notice in writing given to the Scottish Ministers indicate that the operator no longer wishes the facility to be approved, in which case the approval ceases to have effect on the date specified by the Scottish Ministers in writing and notified to the operator.
