(5)The Commission has received an application in accordance with Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 for a ship recycling facilitynote 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.
(6)Moreover, 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.
(7)Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/2323 should therefore be amended accordingly.
