A mutual recognition clause is included in Article 15 of the BRO Regulation.
Article I, Part A, of the present amending regulation may contain technical rules.
This section amends a catalogue. Catalogues contain technical rules because the catalogues lay down requirements for the software on the basis of which source holders and their contractors must operate.
The catalogue ‘Drilling survey – geological drilling sample description and drilling sample analysis’ is amended. The changes include, among other things, the revision and relaxation of the rules governing the validation of historical objects, as those rules regarding details in the layer description were not correctly formulated in the previous version of the catalogue
