Any such inspection shall be limited to verifying that there is on board in relation to that ship a valid certificate referred to in regulation 9 or 10 of

In the case referred to in sub-regulation (2), or if the ship does not carry a valid certificate ref erred to in regulation 9 or 10 of Annex II or a valid BNLS
