the standard licence;

1. A standard licence shall normally be used for each export subject to Regulation (EC) No 116/2009.
However, each individual Member State concerned may decide whether or not it wishes to issue any specific or general open licences which may be used instead if the specific conditions relating to them are fulfilled as set out in Articles 10 and 13.
2. A specific open licence shall cover the repeated temporary export of a specific cultural good by a particular person or organisation as set out in Article 10.
3. A general open licence shall cover any temporary export of any of those cultural goods that form part of the permanent collection of a museum or other institution, as set out in Article 13.
4. A Member State may revoke any specific or general open licence at any time if the conditions under which it was issued are no longer met. It shall inform the Commission immediately if the licence issued is not recovered and could be used irregularly. The Commission shall immediately inform the other Member States.
5. Member States may introduce whatever reasonable measures they deem necessary in their national territory to monitor the use of their own open licences.
