‘Annexes II to XXIV’;
(3) Section 4.3 entitled ‘The Monitoring Plan’ is amended as follows:
(a) in the fourth paragraph, point (e) is replaced as follows:

directly requiring the carbon content for emission calculation are applied), emission factors, oxidation and
conversion factors for each of the source streams to be monitored’;
(b) the following subparagraphs are added after subparagraph (t):
‘(u) where applicable, the dates when measurements for the determination of the installation specific emission
factors for CF 4 and C 2 F 6 have been carried out, and a schedule for future repetitions of this determination;
(v) where applicable, the protocol describing the procedure used to determine the installation specific emission
factors for CF 4 and C 2 F 6 , showing also that the measurements have been and will be carried out for a
sufficiently long time for measured values to converge, but at least for 72 hours;
