Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) The measures taken in accordance with this Regulation to regulate civil aviation in the Union, including the delegated and implementing acts adopted on the basis thereof, should correspond to and be proportionate to the nature and risks associated with the different types of operations and activities they address. They should also, in as far as possible, be formulated in a manner which focuses on objectives to be achieved, while allowing different means of achieving those objectives. This should contribute to a more cost-efficient achievement of required safety levels and to stimulating technical and operational innovation. Use should be made of recognised industry standards and practices, where it has been found that they ensure compliance with the essential requirements set out in this Regulation, specifically in fields where that has traditionally been the case, such as ground handling.
Amendment 265 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Application of sound safety management principles is essential for continuous improvement of civil aviation safety in the Union, anticipating emerging safety risks, and making best use of limited technical resources. It is therefore necessary to establish a common framework for planning and implementing safety improvement actions. To that end a European Plan for Aviation Safety and a European Aviation Safety Programme should be drawn up at Union level. Each Member State should also draw up a National Aviation Safety Programme in accordance with the requirements contained in Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention. That programme should be accompanied by a plan describing the actions to be taken by the Member State to mitigate the identified safety risks. The European Aviation Safety Programme and plans, as well as the State Safety Programmes, as described in Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention, shall be established with the close involvement of industry stakeholders.
Amendment 275 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) The essential requirements concerning environmental compatibility of the design of aeronautical products should address both aircraft noise as well as emissions, and allow the Union to set detailed technical standards which are necessary to protect the environment and human health from harmful effects of aviation operations. Those requirements should be based onaligned with the standards and recommended practices set by the Chicago Convention.
Amendment 293 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) For some types of unmanned aircraft, the application of the provisions of this Regulation related to certification, oversight and enforcement, as well as the provisions regarding the Agency is not necessary for the purpose of reaching adequate levels of safety. Market surveillance mechanisms provided by Union product harmonisation legislation should be made applicable to those cases. Care should be taken that relevant national specifications are duly taken into account when regulating the operations of unmanned aircraft, specifically for these types.
Amendment 314 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 36
Recital 36
(36) Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council14 imposes a duty on the Agency to communicate all information that could be relevant for the updating of the list of air carriers which, for safety reasons, are subject to an operating ban in the Union. The Agency should also assist the Commission in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, by conducting all the necessary safety evaluations of third country operators and authorities responsible for their oversight, and making appropriate recommendations to the Commission. __________________ 14 Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community and on informing air transport passengers of the identity of the operating air carrier (OJ L 344, 27.12.2005, p. 15).

Recital 41
Recital 41
(41) The Agency should, on request, assist the Member States and Commission in the field of international relations relating to matters covered by this Regulation, in particular as regards the harmonisation of rules and the mutual recognition of certificates. It should be entitled to establish the appropriate relations, through working arrangements, with the competent authorities of third countries and international organisations competent in matters covered by this Regulation, subject to the Commission's prior approval. In order to promote safety at the worldwidea global level, and in light of the highstringent safety standards applied within the Union, the Agency should be allowed to engage, within its field of competence, in ad hoc technical cooperation, research and assistance projects with third countries and international organisations. In order to better address the needs of European industry, the Agency should, where appropriate, open local offices in the territory of third countries. The Agency should also assist the Commission in the implementation of Union legislation in other technical domains of civil aviation regulation, such as security or the Single European Sky, where the Agency has the relevant expertise.
Amendment 333 #

Recital 53
Recital 53
(53) In order to guarantee the full autonomy and independence of the Agency, it should be granted an autonomous budget principally funded from a contribution from the Union and from fees and charges paid by the users of the European aviation safety system. Any financial contribution received by the Agency from Member States, third countries, or other entities or persons should not compromise its independence and impartiality. The Union budgetary procedure should be applicable as far as the Union contribution and any other subsidies chargeable to the general budget of the European Union are concerned, while the auditing of accounts should be carried out by the Court of Auditors. In order to enable the Agency to participate in all relevant future projects, it should be provided with the possibility to receive grants. The revenue of the Agency should include charges paid in accordance with Regulation (EU) No XXXX/XXXX on the implementation of the Single European Sky, so as to reflect the 'user pays' principle.
