Unfortunately it is not just paperwork. The runway strip itself is suitable, but some of the area's directly connected to it are not. The lack of a turning area and the low strenght of the stopway are mentioned in the dutch article. The airport also lacks approved departure procedures.

Update: They got a one time exempt by the authorities this morning.
