Article 2.05 Provisional Community certificate

1. The competent authority may issue a provisional Community certificate:

(a) to craft intended to travel to a certain place with the permission of the competent authority in order to obtain a Community certificate;

(b) to craft whose Community certificate has been temporarily withdrawn in one of the instances referred to in Article 2.07 or in Articles 12 and 16 of this Directive;

(c) to craft whose Community certificate is in preparation following a successful inspection;

(d) to craft where not all of the conditions required for obtaining a Community certificate as set out in Part I of Annex V have been met;

(e) to craft so damaged that their state no longer complies with the Community certificate;

(f) to floating installations or equipment where the authorities responsible for special transport operations make the authorisation to carry out a special transport operation, as provided for by the applicable navigational authority regulations of the Member States, subject to obtaining such a Community certificate;

(g) to craft deviating from the provisions of Part II, as provided for in Article 2.19( 2).

2. The provisional Community certificate shall be drawn up using the model set out in Part III of Annex V where the navigability of the craft, floating establishment or floating object seems to have been adequately ensured.

This shall include the conditions considered necessary by the competent authority and shall be valid:

(a) in the cases referred to in paragraph 1(a), (d) to (f), for a single specific trip to be made within a suitable period that shall not exceed one month;

(b) in the cases referred to in paragraph 1(b) and (c), for an appropriate duration;

(c) in the cases referred to in paragraph 1(g), for six months. The provisional Community certificate may be extended for six months at a time until the Committee has taken a decision.
