13. Purely national exclusion grounds

When a CA selects the option “Purely national exclusion grounds” in an ESPDRequest, the criteria available in e-Certis classified as “Other exclusion grounds” must be retrieved. All the criteria will be mandatory, that is, the CA is not able to select specific purely national exclusion grounds for a particular procedure.

In the ESPDResponse, the EO will be required to answer YES/NO to each purely national exclusion ground. For the purely national exclusion grounds that have evidences related in e-Certis, the required evidences will be displayed; when the criterion has no related evidences, the text "No evidence required for this criterion" will be displayed.
