1.Without prejudice to Articles 24a.03 and 24a.04, craft which do not fully comply with the provisions of this Directive must be adapted to comply with provisions which enter into force after the first issue of their Community certificate or other traffic licence in accordance with the transitional provisions listed in the table below.
2.The following definitions apply in the table below:
‘NRC’: The provision does not apply to craft which are already operating, unless the parts concerned are replaced or converted, i.e. the provision applies only to Newly-built craft and to the Replacement or Conversion of the parts or areas concerned. If existing parts are replaced by replacement parts using the same technology and of the same type, this does not constitute replacement (‘R’) within the meaning of the transitional provisions.
‘Issue or renewal of the Community certificate’: The provision must be complied with by the time of the issue or next renewal of the Community certificate after 30 December 2008. If the certificate expires between 30 December 2008 and the day before 30 December 2009, that requirement is, however, only mandatory from 30 December 2009.
