Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226 and Article 12a of Regulation (EU) 2016/399 provide for a transitional period and transitional measures for the start of operations of the EES. To enable a progressive start of operations of the EES, it is necessary to derogate from those Articles to ensure that the transitional period and the transitional measures apply only after the end of the progressive start of operations of the EES. That derogation should cease to apply 5 years and 180 days from the date from which the EES is to start operations as decided by the Commission in accordance with Article 66(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/2226.
