Regulation (EU) 2020/698 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 May 2020 laying down specific and temporary measures in view of the COVID‐19 outbreak concerning the renewal or extension of certain certificates, licences and authorisations and the postponement of certain periodic checks and periodic training in certain areas of transport legislation (Text with EEA relevance) article 14 CELEX: 32020R0698 Extension of time limits provided for in Directive 96/50/EC
1. Notwithstanding Article 6(2) of Directive 96/50/EC, the time limits for undergoing medical examinations which, in accordance with that provision, would otherwise have expired or would otherwise expire between 1 March 2020 and 31 August 2020 shall be deemed to be, or to have been, extended for a period of six months. The boatmasters’ certificates of persons subject to obligation to undergo medical examinations referred to in Article 6(2) of that Directive shall remain valid accordingly. 2. Where a Member State considers that the completion of medical examinations is likely to remain impracticable beyond 31 August 2020 due to measures that it has taken to prevent or contain the spread of COVID‐19, it may submit a reasoned request for an authorisation to apply an extension of the periods specified in paragraph 1. That request may concern the period between 1 March 2020 and 31 August 2020 or the period of six months specified in paragraph 1, or both. It shall be submitted to the Commission by 1 August 2020. |
