Provided that in exercising the powers for suspension, revocation or cancellation of an authorisation, the Regulator shall take into account the nature of the failure, or the fact that the authorised biofuels and, or bioliquids operator is taking the appropriate steps which the Regulator considers to be necessary in order to comply with the conditions of the authorisation, or any other requirement that the Regulator may deem relevant.
