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 and, where applicable, after receiving the EASA recommendation in accordance with Article 71(2) of that Regulation, submit to the Council, for discussion and approval, a document, taking into account the information provided by the Member State concerned and, when applicable, information provided by EASA in accordance with Article 90(4) of that Regulation, setting out details of the differences to be notified to the ICAO.
