THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to 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, and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, in particular in its Title III, lays down requirements for ship recycling facilities wishing to recycle ships flying the flag of a Member State of the European Union and thereby applying for inclusion in the European List of ship recycling facilities.

(2) Article 15(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 lists information and documentation to be provided by ship recycling companies as part of their application files for ship recycling facilities located in a third country for inclusion on the European List. Furthermore, Article 16(2) lists information to be published in the Official Journal about the ship recycling facility to be included in the European List.

(3) Contrary to other Implementing Acts to be adopted under the Ship Recycling Regulation, there is no directly equivalent template available from the Hong Kong Convention for the safe and environmentally sound recycling of ship of 2009. The format given in Annex therefore comprises relevant extracts from Hong Kong Convention Appendix 5 (Document of Authorization of Ship Recycling — DASR) and from the relevant IMO guidelines related to ship recycling facilities and adds information and documentation requirements added in the Ship Recycling Regulation (as listed in Articles 15(2) and 16(2) of the Regulation).

(4) Stakeholders were consulted in writing on the contents of the Decision. The Annex takes comments made into account.

(5) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Ship Recycling Regulation Committee established under Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The information and documentation required to identify a ship-recycling facility located in a third country applying for inclusion in the European List of ship recycling facilities shall be submitted in the format provided in the Annex.

Article 2

This Decision shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Done at Brussels, 17 December 2015. For the Commission The President Jean-Claude Juncker
