When the transitional rules laid down in Articles 21a to 21d of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1239 allow customs authorities to make attributions to licences or extracts directly in the national electronic systems of Member States, then the national competent authorities shall check the use of licences directly in those systems. When licences have been used in paper version or paper extracts have been made out of them, the first subparagraph of this paragraph applies.’;
