(5) The Commission has been informed of changes of the contact details of Dales Marine Services Ltd and of Gardet & De Bezenac Recycling, ship recycling facilities located respectively in the United Kingdom and in France. The European List should therefore be updated accordingly.

(6) The Commission has been informed by Kishorn Port Ltd about modification of the licence that limits the operations and places conditions on the operator of the facility. The change increases the maximum ship dimensions that are accepted. The European List should therefore be updated accordingly.

(7) The Commission has carried out a mid-term review of Işıksan, a ship recycling facility located in Türkiye, in accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013, which could not confirm that the facility in question continues to comply with the relevant requirements of Article 13(1), in particular points (b), (f) and (i), of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013. Furthermore, it has been established that the facility in question has failed to comply with the requirements concerning the recycling of EU Member States flag ships set out in Article 13(2), points (a) to (c), of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013. In addition, the information available does not allow to conclude that a number of ships flying the flag of EU Member States destined to be recycled at Işıksan were finally dismantled in that facility, but indicates that they were instead transferred at nearby facilities which are not included on the European List. This practice represents a breach of the requirements pursuant to Article 13 (1) point (e) of the Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013 that requires that operators of facilities included in the European List must recycle ships flying the flag of EU Member States at their facility in accordance with a ship-specific recycling plan. The European List should therefore be updated to remove this facility.

(8) The Commission has carried out an assessment of accident investigation and root cause analysis of two fatal accidents that occurred in February 2021 and June 2022 in Simsekler, another ship recycling facility located in Türkiye. The assessments concluded that the causes of the accidents were due not only to individual actions, but rather to underlying organizational factors that the yard should focus on to improve their control of risk. In addition, the report on the first fatal accident transmitted to the facility in June 2021 included a number of concrete recommendations to improve workers safety. The Commission request to be kept informed of the measures taken in this respect was not followed up by the facility. The facility in question has therefore failed to comply with the relevant requirements of Article 13(1), in particular points (b), (f) and (i), of Regulation (EU) No 1257/2013. Consequently, the European List should be updated to remove this facility.

(9) Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/2323 should therefore be amended accordingly.

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