The Commission may remove an area from the list provided that it determines, on the basis of an impact assessment and after consulting the competent scientific advisory body, that there is sufficient evidence to indicate that VMEs are not present, or that appropriate conservation and management measures have been adopted which ensure that significant adverse impacts on VMEs in that area are prevented.
Féadfaidh an Coimisiún limistéar a bhaint ón liosta ar choinníoll go gcinnfidh sé, ar bhonn measúnú tionchair agus tar éis dó dul i gcomhairle leis an gcomhlacht comhairleach eolaíoch, go bhfuil dóthain fianaise ann chun a léiriú nach bhfuil VMEanna ann, nó gur glacadh bearta iomchuí caomhantais agus bainistíochta lena n-áirítear go ndéanfar tionchair shuntasacha dhochracha ar VMAanna sa limistéar sin a chosc.
