Member States should be able to ensure compliance with this Regulation through permits based on a system of regular inspections of installations to examine the full range of relevant environmental effects, including spills and losses. For installations located in a Member State that decides to enforce and verify compliance through such a system of permits and regular inspections, economic operators should be exempted from obtaining a certificate or submitting a self-declaration of conformity for those installations for which they hold a permit that imposes the conditions necessary for compliance with this Regulation. For installations for which such exemption applies, economic operators should notify the relevant competent authority about the risk management plan and its regular updates. When compliance is ensured through permits, Member States should take the steps necessary to revise the conditions of existing permits and issue new permits such that compliance with this Regulation is ensured in due time.
