As stated in the ESO Call for Proposals, targets and constraints requested at time of proposal submission (i.e. at Phase 1) are binding, because once the proposals have been evaluated by the Observing Proposal Committee, the requested targets and constraints become one of the major inputs to finalise and optimise the scheduling of the telescopes. However, part of the success of an observatory comes also from the ability to balance operational efficiency (hence rules and procedures) and scientific return. In other words, target and/or instrument set-up changes are allowed also after Phase 1, but only after they have been carefully scrutinised. Their approval is subject to the following conditions:
