An amendment to the WSCS-OCE was adopted by the Minister of SZW on 29 June 2016. This has put an end to the uncertainty regarding the implementation of the amendment proposals of the CCvD-OCE from 2014. The amendments came into force on 5 July this year. According to the Explanatory Memorandum, certificate holders can make agreements with the CKI about implementing the changes by 2017 at the latest. VEO advocates determining a branch-wide transitional arrangement within this framework.
