1. Where a paper licence F2 ... issued for products referred to in Article 2(1)(a) or (2)(a) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237 is partly or totally destroyed, or lost, the titular holder or transferee may request the licence issuing authority to issue a replacement licence F2 .... The replacement licence F2 ... substitutes the original licence F2 ..., including all rights and obligations concerned.

For replacement licences under this paragraph a security shall be lodged as set out in Article 5.

If the lost or partially destroyed original licence is found, the titular holder shall return the original licence to the licence issuing authority, who shall release the remaining security for the original licence forthwith.

2. A replacement licence F3 ... may only be issued once and for the period of validity and the balance of quantity remaining available for the original licence F3 ....

A replacement licence F4 ... shall not be issued where the issue of licences F5 ... for the product in question is suspended or where it concerns an F6 ... export tariff rate quota.

3. The security for the replacement licence, together with the security for the original licence if it was not found, shall be released in accordance with Article 14.

4. Where the request concerns a partly or totally destroyed licence F7 ... issued for products other than those referred to in Article 2(1)(a) and (2)(a) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1237, the following conditions shall apply:

(a) the titular holder or transferee shall prove the total or partial destruction to the satisfaction of the licence issuing authority;

(b) the replacement licence F7 ... shall not be issued if the titular holder or transferee has failed to show that he has taken reasonable precautions to prevent the destruction of the licence F7 ..., or where the evidence provided by the titular holder is unsatisfactory;

(c) the security to be lodged for the replacement licence F7 ... shall be 150 % of the security for the original licence, with a minimum of [F8 £3] per 100 kilograms or per hectolitre or head, taking account of the balance of the quantity remaining available at the moment of destruction, and of the positive tolerance, if applicable. The balance of security available for the original licence may be used when lodging the security for the replacement licence. Any excess of the security for the original licence compared to the security for the replacement licence, taking into account the remaining available quantity shall be released immediately.
