Any third-country airline operator who intends to perform commercial air transport (CAT) operations into, within or out of any of the following territories wanting to fly in and out of the territory below: You have a six month window that started 26 May 2014 and ends with the deadline on 26 November 2014!

The 32 EASA Member States of the European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, the territories in which the Basic Regulation applies (Gibraltar, ร…land Islands, Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Rรฉunion, Saint-Martin, Mayotte)

โ€žOperators who fail to apply for a TCO authorisation within 6 months โ€“ until 26 November 2014 โ€“ after entry into force of Part-TCO may face delays in their authorisation process which could lead to a disruption of their operation to the EU until completion of their assessment and issuance of the TCO authorisation. It is therefore in the best interest of operators to apply for a TCO authorisation within the application period (6 months after Part-TCO entry into force).โ€œ

A TCO authorisation will not be required for operators only overflying the above mentioned territories without intended landing.
