Where, during a reference period, a Member State decides to apply paragraph 1, it shall also revise its performance plan in accordance with [Article 18(1)](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943977) in respect of the services concerned. 3. A Member State shall decide to apply paragraph 1 only after having completed all of the following steps: (a) its national supervisory authority has found, on the basis of a detailed assessment in accordance with the conditions laid down in [Annex X](#_DxCrossRefBm1409944021), that the provision of the services concerned is subject to market conditions; (b) it has consulted the airspace users' representatives concerned on the intended decision and on that assessment, and has taken account of their comments where appropriate; (c) it has made its intended decision and that assessment publicly available; (d) it has submitted its intended decision and that assessment to the Commission and received the agreement of the Commission.

The Commission shall notify the Member State concerned whether it agrees that the assessment has been carried out in accordance with the conditions laid down in [Annex X](#_DxCrossRefBm1409944021). The Commission shall do so without undue delay. Where necessary, the Commission shall request additional information from the Member State concerned, which that Member State shall provide without undue delay. 4. If a Member State decides to apply paragraph 1, its national supervisory authority shall assess regularly whether the conditions laid down in [Annex X](#_DxCrossRefBm1409944021) continue to be met. If the national supervisory authority finds that those conditions are no longer met, the Member State shall, without undue delay, revoke its decision, after having completed the steps set out in points (b) to (d) of paragraph 3. Upon that revocation, the Member State shall, for the upcoming reference period or, as the case may be, for the remaining duration of the reference period, not apply the exemptions listed in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2 in respect of the services concerned. If the revocation occurs during the reference period, the Member State concerned shall also revise its performance plan in accordance with [Article 18(1)](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943977). 5.
