Article 1 
The voluntary scheme ‘Round Table on Responsible Soy EU RED’, for which the request for recognition was submitted to the Commission on 11 May 2011, demonstrates that consignments of biofuels comply with the sustainability criteria as laid down in Article 17(3)(a), (b) and (c), (4) and (5) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(3)(a), 7b (3) b, 7b (3) c, 7b(4) and 7b(5) of Directive 98/70/EC. The scheme also contains accurate data for purposes of Article 17(2) of Directive 2009/28/EC and Article 7b(2) of Directive 98/70/EC.
Furthermore, it may be used for demonstrating compliance with Article 18(1) of Directive 2009/28/EC and of Article 7c(1) of Directive 98/70/EC.
Article 2 

1. The Decision is valid for a period of five years after it enters into force. If the scheme, after adoption of Commission decision, undergoes changes to its contents in a way that might affect the basis of this Decision, such changes shall be notified to the Commission without delay. The Commission will assess the notified changes with a view to establish whether the scheme is still adequately covering the sustainability criteria for which it is recognised.
2. If it has been clearly demonstrated that the scheme has not implemented elements considered to be decisive for this Decision and if severe and structural breach of those elements has taken place, the Commission reserves the right to revoke its Decision.
