21The first step in making that determination is to consider whether the contested modification meets the condition laid down in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 30(4) of Regulation No 1260/1999, under which the modification must result either from a change in the nature of ownership in an item of infrastructure or a cessation or change of location in a productive activity. In checking that that condition is met, it is necessary to assess the factors which gave rise to the contested modification and which can therefore be said to constitute its causes.
