Article 15 Refusal to issue or renew, and withdrawal of, Union inland navigation certificates

Any decision not to issue or renew a Union inland navigation certificate shall state the grounds on which it is based. The owner of the craft or its representative shall be notified thereof and shall be informed about the appeal procedure and the time limits applicable in the Member State concerned.

Any valid Union inland navigation certificate may be withdrawn by the competent authority which issued or renewed it if the craft ceases to comply with the technical requirements set out in its certificate.
