Do I need to obtain an authorisation before flying my drone in the 'specific' category?

When operating under the ‘specific’ category, if the operations can be conducted
within the limitation of a standard scenario and using an appropriate drone, the
drone operator only needs to submit a declaration to the National Aviation Authority
and wait for the confirmation of receipt and completeness. For all other operations
in the ’specific’ category, an operational authorisation issued by the National
Aviation Authority is needed.
