(2) If the Director-General considers that the departure is acceptable, the Director-General must notify the public authority accordingly.

(3) If the Director-General considers that the departure is unacceptable because it is likely to jeopardise the effective implementation of the recovery plan, the Director-General must consult with the public authority in an endeavour to resolve the matter by modification of the action proposed or by other mutually acceptable means.
