Article 41U.K.ATM/ANS providers

1.Providers of ATM/ANS shall be required to hold a certificate.

3.The certificate referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall specify the privileges granted. That certificate may be amended to add or remove privileges, in accordance with [F2regulations made under] point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 43(1).

4.The certificate referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article may be limited, suspended or revoked when the holder no longer complies with the rules and procedures for issuing and maintaining such certificate, in accordance with [F3regulations made under] point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 43(1).

5.By way of derogation from paragraph 1 of this Article, in accordance with [F4regulations made under] Article 43, [F5the CAA] may decide that providers of flight information services are to be allowed to declare their capability, and the availability to them of the means, to discharge the responsibilities associated with the services provided in compliance with the essential requirements referred to in Article 40.

6.By way of derogation from paragraph 1, [F7the CAA] may grant exemptions to providers of ATM/ANS from the requirement to hold a certificate, where all of the following conditions have been met:

(a)the provider has its principal place of business located outside the territories for which [F8the United Kingdom is] responsible under the Chicago Convention;

(b)the provision of ATM/ANS by that provider concerns air traffic of small volume in a limited part of the airspace for which the [F9United Kingdom] is responsible and where that part of the airspace borders with an airspace under the responsibility of a third country;

(c)requiring the provider to demonstrate compliance with the rules referred to in paragraph 1 would involve a disproportionate effort from that provider in light of the nature and risk of the particular activity that it carries out within that airspace;

(d)the [F10CAA] has set rules and procedures applicable to the provision of ATM/ANS by the provider which ensure, in accordance with international standards and recommended practices and taking account of the specific circumstances of the case in question, an acceptable level of safety and compliance with the essential requirements referred to in Article 40, and has established appropriate and effective means and arrangements for oversight and enforcement to ensure compliance with those rules and procedures;

(e)the scope of the exemption is clearly defined and the exemption remains limited to what is strictly necessary; where its duration exceeds five years, the exemption is subject to regular review at suitable intervals; and the exemption is applied in a non-discriminatory manner.
