Looks like only CAT ops to me. Nowhere in the article do I see private ops mentioned (unless i'm missing something?), i.e. each and every IOM registered aircraft (private ops only) and each and every other private registry aircraft exempt.
Commission Regulation (EU) 83/2014 is applicable from 18 February 2016
As I said its coming soon and any operator worth talking about is already implementing it in advance across the board for CAT or private and SP ops.
We implemented it for all ops as of June this year.

From the above CAA link, it looks like it was cancelled anyway on the 9th March 2015. Clearly states CAT only.
The purpose of this Information Notice is to advise all Commercial Air Transport (CAT) Air Operator Certificate (AOC) holders engaged in two-pilot aeroplane scheduled and charter operations that the European Regulation for Flight Time Limitations (FTL) has now been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
