Annex II to Commission regulation (EC) No 2042/2003 is Part-145. This implementing Rule deals with the approval of maintenance organisations and is derived from the former JAR 145 requirement.

9. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 9 Bilateral Agreements If any co-operation aims at creating obligations on Member States or the Community or at allowing deviations from Community law, it shall be established by means of a formal agreement concluded by the Community itself (article 9.1 of the EASA Regulation). Working Arrangements If the co-operation only commits the Agency for the execution of its certification tasks, it may be established by means of a working arrangement concluded by the Agency (article 18.2 of the EASA Regulation). Current state of play

10. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 10 Existing bilateral agreements remain in force in accordance with Article 9 to Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 or until such time as a new bilateral is concluded by the European Community which would supersede the existing agreements. This means the existing BASA MIPs between the USA, France, Germany and Ireland respectively remain in force. (BASA= Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement) (MIP= Maintenance Implementation Procedures) Current state of play

11. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 11 The Community has declared its intention to ensure a smooth transition aiming at maintaining:  current partnerships for certification / validation  existing harmonisation arrangements essential to the continuing flow of aviation products and services. Transition

12. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 12 November 28 th 2004 was the end of a transition period (specified in Article 4 to Regulation (EC) 2042/2003 )whereby all ‘grandfathered’ former JAR- 145 approvals had to be transitioned into EASA Part- 145 approvals. After November 28 th 2004 a JAR 145 acceptance is no longer valid. For the Agency this meant all the ‘grandfathered’ foreign JAR 145 and JAR 147 approvals had to be given EASA Part-145 and Part-147 approvals respectively. The transition

13. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 13 EASA approved organisations A) US Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement/ MIP TOTAL 1256 Part-145 organisations B) Canadian Administrative Arrangement on Maintenance TOTAL 135 Part-145 organisations C) Foreign non –bilateral Part-145 approvals TOTAL 270 Part-145 organisations D) Foreign non –bilateral Part-147 approvals TOTAL 10 Part-147 organisations

14. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 14 Continuation activity All these 1671 organisations are subject to a full technical review every 2 year period to ensure “continuation”. (This approximates to 16 “continuations” per week). In addition foreign CAMO and subpart F applications are being received from applicants. These are new codes so the total volume of activity has yet to be determined.

15. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 15 In order to maintain continuity the MIP-Guidance (MIP-G) has been developed in conjunction with the FAA and is available on the EASA web site at: www.easa.eu.int All US located Part-145 organisations must now adhere to the MIP-G as publsihed on the EASA web site. Maintaining Continuity

16. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 16 All EASA Part-145 certificates are issued without a time limitation. Renewal process will be changed to “continuation.” Address and contact details changed to reflect EASA in Cologne. Inclusion of the EASA Fees and Charges Regulation. Revised special conditions introduced. Main procedural changes

17. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 17 New agreements or arrangements with the Community’s major foreign partner countries are envisaged for the future. EASA shall be designated under the Agreement as a/the certification body competent for some tasks, as well as NAAs, depending on the internal sharing of roles. EASA is in particular competent to agree on the certification basis and detailed implementation procedures. The future

18. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 18 The new agreement should contain two main parts:  the core agreement itself including general provisions and  a set of annexes covering the implementation procedures. The whole document should be negotiated after appropriate reciprocal confidence has been established and implementation processes have been developed. The future

19. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 19 The European Commission is currently working with the FAA and the EASA in order to produce a new Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement which would be applicable to the USA and to all EU Member States. This will reduce redundant regulatory oversight and also facilitate market access. The future

20. 2005 Europe/US International Aviation Safety Conference, Cologne 7-9 June 20 We are currently in a transition period and we are embarking on a learning curve. It is essential that the FAA, the EASA and Industry continue to work together in order to ensure that we maintain the highest levels of safety for the Aviation sector. We look forward to working with you and thank you for your continued cooperation. Conclusion
