1. Where, during a reference period, Union-wide performance targets are no longer adequate, in the light of significantly changed circumstances or safety considerations, and where the revision of one or several targets is necessary and proportionate, the Commission shall revise those Union-wide performance targets. Article 22 shall apply to such decision. Where, following such revision, the performance targets contained in the performance plans adopted pursuant to Article 24(6) are no longer consistent with the Union-wide performance targets, the national supervisory authorities shall revise those plans with respect to the performance targets concerned. Articles 23, 24 and 25 shall apply to the revision of those plans. The consultation referred to in Article 23(8) may be limited, for the purpose of this subparagraph, to the performance targets and parts of the draft performance plans which are directly or indirectly affected by the revision. Following the revision referred to in the first subparagraph, national supervisory authorities shall prepare new draft performance plans, to which Articles 23, 24 and 25 shall apply. The Network Manager shall draw up a new draft Network Performance Plan, to which Article 26 shall apply.

2. The decision on the revised Union-wide performance targets referred to in paragraph 1 shall include transitional provisions for the time period until the definitive revised performance plans become applicable. Revised Union-wide performance targets and transitional provisions shall not apply retroactively.

3. In the event of a network crisis, such as geopolitical conflicts, health crises or natural disaster, which prevents the issuing of reliable traffic forecasts, the transitional provisions adopted by the Commission in accordance with paragraph 2 may include the temporary suspension or adaptation of the performance scheme until the network crisis ends and the new reliable forecasts are available. In such a case, the Commission shall define the relating conditions, including necessary adaptations to applicable charges, in the decision referred to in paragraph 1.

4. Member States may, subject to the approval of the Commission, revise one or several performance targets, during a reference period where alert thresholds are reached, or where it is demonstrated that the initial data, assumptions and rationales underpinning the performance targets are to a significant and lasting extent no longer accurate due to circumstances that were unforeseeable at the time of the adoption of the performance plan. The Commission shall approve this revision if it concludes that the revision is necessary and proportionate and the revised performance targets are consistent with Union-wide performance targets. In such a case, Member States shall revise the performance plans with respect to the targets concerned, in accordance with the procedures set out in Articles 23 and 24. The consultation referred to in Article 23(8) may be limited, for the purpose of this paragraph, to the performance targets and parts of the performance plans which are directly or indirectly affected by the revision.
