CEPT - Class 1 or class 2?

    I sat a morse exam after the theory test some years ago and swapped my 3 letter call for a 2 letter. I was tidying some paperwork here and noticed on my licence certificate that I'm listed as CEPT Class 2. Now it makes little difference to me to be honest but I'm wondering:

    1) is it incorrect, i.e. should it be CEPT Class 1?
    2) could this make temporary operating in other countries messy if I had to produce the licence cert with Class 2 on it?

    Can't see anything obvious on either the Comreg or IRTS sites, just thought I'd check here before contacting Comreg directly.

    Class2 + Morse = Class1 ORIGINALLY
    They have made a mistake.

    OR think that everyone has abolished CW. See Belwo

    Class 1
    Note on T/R 61-01 by G3PJT
    Chairman of Radio Regulatory Working Group, IARU Region 1.

    The text of T/R 61-01 has been revised following WRC 2003.

    The changes are:
    - The deletion of the Morse code requirement for access to frequencies below 30MHz,
    - The merging of the old CEPT Class 1 and 2 licences into a single class, the “CEPT radio amateur licence'',
    - Removal of an ambiguity concerning portable and mobile operation,
    - Freedom to use any amateur station in the country visited, not just the visitors ‘own’ station.
