(Art. 6)
1The risk report must contain all the information required by the enforcement authority in order to verify and assess, in accordance with Article 7, the risk posed by the transport route to the public or the environment. This includes, in particular, all the information listed in numbers 2–5.
2In justified cases, certain items of information may be omitted or replaced by others which are equally valid or more appropriate.
3The scope and degree of detail of the information given for each item will depend on the specific circumstances; in particular, consideration is to be given to the specific features and location of the transport route, the surrounding area, the volume and structure of traffic, accident statistics and safety measures.
4Documentation used for the risk report, particularly test results, empirical data, literature references, results of calculations and detailed analyses, are to be kept at the disposal of the enforcement authority.
