Iss ue # 02 06.2009 European Aviation Safety Agency EASANEWS Dear Reader, as this Newsletter goes to print, some 300 aviation professionals from around the world, including officials from the FAA and EASA, will be convening in Athens for the annual EU-US Aviation Safety Conference. Alternating between the US and Europe, the Conference has been a major forum to discuss “hot topics” and new initiatives in the area of aviation safety for the last 26 years. This year, despite the attractions of Greece, there have been less registrations than in the past due to the global economic downturn. And appropriately, the headline topic of this years’ conference is “improving safety in challenging times”. Many have asked me in recent months how the crisis has affected the Agency. There are two sides to the answer. The good news is that design- related activities have so far been little affected and the Agency’s income from fees and charges has remained stable. On the downside, economic uncertainty in the aviation business has caused hesitation, in some cases resistance to some of the Agency’s planned new safety rules. EASA, in turn, may not have appreciated the severity of the challenges faced by industry when drafting its proposals. The crisis has shown us that we must do even more to consult widely and communicate comprehensively. And we remain fully committed to open and transparent regulation. The Agency’s new responsibilities are designed to strengthen the European aviation sector, not to stifle it. I am convinced we can work together with industry to emerge from the crisis both stronger and safer. Patrick Goudou, Executive Director Editorial Furthermore, taking into account the possible difficulties that could be generated by a large number of changes in this short timeframe, the Agency is also reviewing the planning of its other activities, particularly those related to air operations, flight crew licensing and third country aircraft. At the moment, it is analysing, together with the European Commission and the Member States, and alongside its main stakeholders, the best schedule possible for the adoption of the related regulatory proposals. This examination takes into account the available resources as well as the necessary time for stakeholders to acknowledge, comment and implement the changes that are expected to be adopted soon. The SES II package is designed to deliver safer, greener and more cost-efficient flights. Airlines, passengers and the manufacturing industry will benefit from it. Annual savings for the airlines is calculated around four billion euros. Passengers will profit from fewer delays, shorter and safer flights. Investment in research for new air traffic management technologies increases the competitiveness of the European aeronautical industry. The role of the Agency in this package is to draft precise, uniform and binding rules for airport operation, air traffic management and air navigation services. Their sound implementation in the Member States will be overseen by the Agency as well. The Agency sees this as a great step forward for European aviation safety. It follows the extension of Community competence to air operations, flight crew licensing and certification of third country operators. The dates for implementation set forth in the legislation will lead to several changes in the European regulatory framework for aviation safety in a very short timeframe. The Agency is fully aware of the challenges that stakeholders will face. Consequently, EASA is embracing these new tasks with great care, vigilant to meet the deadlines with minimum disruption. Already, as a first measure, and in order to have all the necessary implementing measures in place when needed, the Agency is urgently making available the necessary resources. The required regulatory activities will start in the coming weeks. This will allow the Agency to make use of all the time available to work with all affected stakeholders to ensure optimum transparency (see also page 7 for information on the progress already made). The Single European Sky (SES) II legislative package is only one step away. The positive vote of the European Parliament on the proposal and its political endorsement by the Transport Ministers in March 2009 paved the way for adoption through the Council. This is likely to happen shortly before or after the summer break. With the adoption of the proposal, EASA sees its responsibilities extended to the safety of air traffic management (ATM) and aerodromes. www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：EASA-Newsletter-issue-2
