Any amendments not included in the scope of the procedure referred to in point (a)(11)(iv), as well as amendments related to the changes listed in point CAMO.A.130(a), shall be approved by the competent authority.

This AMC provides an outline of the layout of an acceptable CAME. Where an organisation uses a different format, for example, to allow the exposition to serve for more than one approval within the scope of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, then the exposition should contain a cross-reference Annex using this list as an index with an explanation as to where the subject matter can be found in the exposition. The information required by CAMO.A.300 should be provided, directly or by reference, in the CAME.
