14.1 Individuals who wish to apply to the CAA for recognition of their student or air traffic controller Licence issued by another EU Member State should complete CAA Form SRG 1424 and submit it to the CAA's ATS Licensing Section. The completed form must be accompanied by a copy of the Licence and accompanying Medical Certificate.

14.3 In cases where the individual chooses to exchange his existing Licence for a Licence issued by the CAA, the CAA shall issue a Licence that contains the same ratings and endorsements as contained in the original Licence.
15 Disclosure of Information
15.1 The CAA will make available to licence holders on request records of previously held ratings, rating endorsements and unit endorsements to enable controllers to provide this information to other State Licensing Authorities.
15.2 The CAA will provide verification, where appropriate, of the licence qualifications and operational experience of the licence holders to other EU State Licensing Authorities.
Appendix 1 Guidance to ATS Providers on Withdrawing a Controller from Operational Duty when Considered to be Under the Influence of a Psychoactive Substance
1 Introduction
1.1 Part 3 paragraph 14.9.2 b) requires that providers of air traffic services must have processes, procedures and competent personnel to ensure that student air traffic controller licence holders and air traffic controller licence holders are withdrawn from operational duty if they are considered to be under the influence of psychoactive substances that might have an effect on their ability to provide a safe air traffic control service.
1.2 The following paragraphs provide guidance on how this requirement may be satisfied.
2 Guidance
2.1 Supervisors and Managers, together with immediate co-workers, are probably best placed to identify a controller who may be engaging in psychoactive substance abuse. In cases where a member of staff has reasonable grounds to suspect that a controller is under the influence of a psychoactive substance that might have an effect on their ability to provide a safe air traffic control service, his primary concern should be the safety of the air traffic control service and therefore should immediately inform a responsible person (ideally identified in unit procedures) so that immediate action can be taken to remove the controller from duty.
2.2 An ATS provider should consider the following:
a) The need for general awareness training for Supervisors/Managers and staff members on psychoactive substance abuse issues, particularly 'tell-tale' signs, and the safety implications of such abuse;
b) The need for training and procedures for Supervisors/Managers to manage such a situation. This may include:
