Extension of the Scope of the Agency Agency is developing opinions for IRs and decisions for AMC on OPS/FCL Commission proposal was published on 15 November 2005. The legislative process is under way. Annex Communication from the commission on ATM and Airport published on 15 November 2005 Work on airport safety essential requirements GASR and JAA worked together to produce ERs. A NPA was published in May 2006 for an Agency Opinion to be sent to the Commission in December Work on ATM safety and interoperability regulation A NPA should be published by the end of the year 15/01/2019

Conclusions EASA is operational, growing in strength and expanding its scope EASA is built on a strong legal basis which provides certainty to stakeholders EASA is the principal civil aviation authority in Europe, with clearly established lines of roles, tasks and responsibilities relationships with other countries are key to ensure the highest level of safety worldwide EASA is the European interlocutor for civil aviation safety 15/01/2019
