Where the exemptions granted in accordance with Article 71 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 are of general application and their total duration exceeds eight months, the Commission shall, no later than two weeks after the Member State concerned notified it of those exemptions in accordance with Article 71(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, submit to the Council, for discussion and approval, a written document, based in particular on the information provided by EASA in accordance with Article 90(4) of that Regulation as well as information provided by Member States under Article 71 of that Regulation, setting out the detailed differences to be notified to ICAO.
