"NRC": The provision does not apply to craft which are already operating, unless the parts concerned are replaced or converted, i.e. the provision only applies to N ewly-built craft and to theR eplacement orC onversion 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 these transitional provisions. "Issue or renewal of the Community certificate": The provision must be complied with by the time of the first issue or next renewal of the Community certificate after 30 December 2008 . If the certificate expires between30 December 2008 and the day before30 December 2009 , that requirement is, however, only mandatory from30 December 2009 .
