+Article 3 3.

Article 3 3.

Member States may grant authorizations without initiating a procedure under paragraph 2 where the area for which authorization is requested:

(a) 

is available on a permanent basis; or

(b) 

has been the subject of a previous procedure according to paragraph 2 which has not resulted in the grant of an authorization; or

(c) 

has been relinquished by an entity and does not fall automatically under (a).

A Member State wishing to apply this paragraph shall within three months of the adoption of this Directive or, in case of Member States who have not yet introduced such procedures, without delay arrange for the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities of a notice indicating the areas within its territory which are available under this paragraph and where detailed information in this regard can be obtained. Any significant change in this information shall be the subject of an additional notice. However, no application for an authorization under this paragraph can be considered until after the publication of the relevant notice under this text.
