I European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS) 2019–2023 Executive Summary 1 Executive Summary The European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS) is built on a proactive approach to support the future growth of aviation while securing a high and uniform level of safety for all Member States (MSs). This proactive approach allows the European Commission (EC), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and MSs to take the necessary actions at the right time in order to prioritise the risks to be managed and to face the challenges posed by the increasing complexity and continued growth in civil aviation, as well as to ensure safe, secure and environmental friendly implementation of new business models and new technologies. EPAS is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) to enhance the level of safety in aviation and to support MSs in fostering mature safety management capabilities. This EPAS edition captures the GASP goals under a new vision: ‘achieve constant safety improvement within a growing aviation industry’ The overall safety objective is to maintain and whenever feasible to further improve the present safety performance level of the European aviation system in the face of upcoming changes. In the field of air traffic management (ATM), the performance ambitions adopted with the ATM Master Plan (ATM MP)1 reflect this overall objective. The 2019-2023 EPAS edition integrates safety information from various sources, such as the Annual Safety Review (ASR), the Standardisation Annual Report (SAR), and the ATM MP, which is the European plan implementing the Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP). The objective is to obtain an overarching, consolidated aviation safety picture at European level, supporting the prioritisation of safety actions. More specifically, as safety is the highest priority for the implementation of the European ATM MP, this EPAS edition embraces European actions stemming from the ATM MP. It thus establishes an initial alignment with the ATM MP. This EPAS edition reflects the new priorities agreed for the implementation of the new Basic Regulation (NBR), which entered into force on 11 September 2018. The related implementing rules will be aligned accordingly over the following years. The precise scope as well as the near-term priorities for 2019-2021 were agreed at the June 2018 EASA Management Board (MB) meeting, on the basis of a roadmap defining on the one hand how the work ahead to adapt to the NBR will be addressed and on the other hand setting related priorities for EASA rulemaking. While certain NBR provisions were already considered under the 2018-2022 EPAS edition, the NBR prioritisation has a major impact on this EPAS edition. As an integral part of the NBR roadmap, EASA will provide MSs with targeted support in order to complement the Standardisation activities and to reinforce the common understanding

  • Economic and Welfare Impacts of EU-Africa Epas
    ATPC African Trade Policy Centre Work in Progress No. 10 Economic Commission for Africa Economic and Welfare Impacts of the EU-Africa Economic Partnership Agreements By Stephen Karingi, Rémi Lang, Nassim Oulmane, Romain Perez, Mustapha Sadni Jallab and Hakim Ben Hammouda ATPC ATPC is a project of the Economic Commission for Africa March 2005 with financial support of the Canada Fund for Africa Abstract Th is study examines the economic and social impacts of the trade liberalization aspects of the proposed Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the European Union (EU) and African countries. It provides a quantitative assessment of the likely implications of EPAs establishing Free Trade Areas (FTAs) between the EU and the various African Regional Economic Communities (RECs). Th e focus of the empirical analysis is on the trade liberalization component of the EPAs. In particular, the following questions are addressed. First, how will an EPA that includes reciprocal market access agreements between the EU and Africa impact on African countries’ GDPs, levels of employment and other macroeconomic aggregates? Second, what sectors in Africa are most likely to lose and what sectors gain with EPAs? Th ird, what are the welfare implications for African countries from the EPAs? Fourth, how will the formation of EPAs aff ect trade expansion through trade creation and trade diversion eff ects? Fifth, what are the potential fi scal implications of the EPAs? Th e main conclusions drawn from the results and the discussions are that full reciprocity will be very costly for Africa irrespective of how the issue is looked at. A focus on deepening integration with a view to enhancing intra-African trade would provide positive results.

  • The Argumentative Dimension to the EU-Africa Epas Stephen R. Hurt
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-space: Manchester Metropolitan University's Research Repository The Argumentative Dimension to the EU-Africa EPAs Stephen R. Hurt, Donna Lee, and Ulrike Lorenz-Carl Abstract Not only is the participation of developing countries in international trade negotiations growing, so is their influence over the global trade agenda. This article highlights the increasing activism and impact of African states through a detailed study of the current Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) negotiations with the European Union (EU). In examining African resistance to EPAs, the article develops a constructivist approach to North-South trade negotiations that pays close attention to the role of development discourses. We argue that the growing willingness of African states to challenge the EU to deliver on its development promises during the decade-long EPA process was crucial to informing their sustained opposition to the EU‟s goal of completing a comprehensive set of sub-regional economic agreements. We document African resistance to EU trade diplomacy in the EPAs, exploring how these otherwise weak countries were able to pursue normative based negotiation strategies by recourse to the EU‟s promise of a „development partnership‟. Introduction During the last decade, African states have begun to develop a more active and confident approach to multilateral and regional economic negotiations in which they are involved. This is particularly clear in their attitude towards, and their preventative negotiating behaviour in, the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPAs) talks with the European Union (EU).1 While African negotiators still lack the highly resourced deliberative capacities of their European counterparts, they have successfully navigated the negotiations and enhanced their influence in EU-African regional economic governance processes.

  • STOP Epas Day Statement 27 September 2007
    STOP EPAs Day Statement 27 September 2007 The 27th September marks the fifth anniversary of the start of negotiations for Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) between the EU and the ACP (African, Caribbean & Pacific) countries. While presenting EPAs as “instruments for development”, the EU is pushing for agreements with far-reaching and comprehensive economic liberalisation terms. The EU proposals for EPAs would not only eliminate most tariffs on goods, but would also impose the inclusion of issues that go beyond WTO commitments. Such EPAs will open up ACP markets to devastating competition from EU exports. This will lead to increased social inequality and poverty through the destruction of local industries and small- scale agriculture, damaging employment and livelihoods. The terms set within the EPAs will sharply reduce the necessary democratic policy space for ACP countries to regulate and to design their own national and regional integration policies to meet their development goals and needs. In the face of the formal deadline of 31 December 2007, the EU is putting tremendous pressure on the ACP countries to sign EPAs by the end of the year, including threats to reduce development aid and increase tariffs on their exports into the EU market. We condemn the use of such bullying tactics against many of the world’s poorest countries. We strongly oppose the EU’s demand for reciprocal trade relations between countries of such unequal economic strength. We - social movements, farmer organisations, trade unions, faith organisations, and NGOs from Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific and the European Union - call on the EU to: • not impose trade liberalisation and other ‘trade-related’ terms upon the ACP countries • refrain from putting pressure on ACP countries to sign EPAs this year • offer non-reciprocal alternatives, like an improved GSP+, and to ensure that exports to the EU from ACP countries will not be interrupted We also urge ACP countries not to give in to EU pressures.

  • Belgium Aviation Safety Programme V2
    Belgium Aviation Safety Programme Produced by the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority in conjunction with the Federal Public Service of Mobility and Transport and the Belgian Air Accident Investigation Unit. Version: 2.0 Status: August 1st , 2017 Belgium Aviation Safety Programme 1 Foreword One of the duties of the Belgian State is to create an environment in which the aviation sector can perform its activities at the highest possible safety level. The Belgian Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA) is responsible, on behalf of the Belgian State, for developing and maintaining the Belgium Aviation Safety Programme (BASP) in accordance with the requirements of ICAO. The BASP applies to the BCAA, the Belgian Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU(Be)) and the Ministry of Defense. The BASP is a description of the various regulations and activities for maintaining and improving aviation safety and explains how Belgium operates in compliance with EU regulations and the safety management requirements set forth in the appendices to the Chicago Convention. The BASP describes how Belgium has ensured through legislative means that the service providers have the required safety management systems, that the BCAA monitors the functioning of these safety management systems and that the responsibilities of the individual service providers in Belgium are clearly defined. The BASP also serves as a tool for describing the complex network of regulations composed of the legislation of individual sectors of aviation as a single, clear entity with the objective of improving aviation safety. The BASP also addresses the dimension of safety assurance and mainly details how safety oversight is performed within the Belgian State.

  • Portugal's Post-Colonial Relations with Angola
    Journal of Contemporary European Research Volume 9, Issue 2 (2013) Between Europeanization and Domestic Influences: Portugal's Post-colonial Relations with Angola António Raimundo University of Minho Citation Raimundo, A. (2013). ‘Between Europeanization and Domestic Influences: Portugal's Post‐colonial Relations with Angola’, Journal of Contemporary European Research. 9 (2), pp. 242‐260. First published at: www.jcer.net Volume 9, Issue 2 (2013) jcer.net António Raimundo Abstract This paper builds on the Europeanization literature to explore the impact of EU membership on Portuguese foreign policy towards Angola. The analysis is centred on trade issues, focusing on Portugal’s accession negotiations and the reform of the Lomé Convention. Portugal is a small and open economy, with a colonial past in Angola. Trade is one of the most integrated policy areas of the EU, which has long and highly institutionalised relations with Africa. Preliminary results point to great evidence of Europeanization understood as national adaptation to the EU. However, the projection of Portuguese priorities onto the European level also received some support. History, cultural links and the presence of strong national interest groups appear to have limited the EU’s impact on Portuguese preferences. Such findings give support to studies stressing the need to adequately account for domestic conditions, even in highly integrated EU policy areas and for smaller member states. Keywords Foreign Policy Analysis; Europeanization; European integration; Foreign policy; trade; interest groups For many centuries Portugal’s foreign priorities were oriented towards the Atlantic and its overseas territories. That general orientation was also the one adopted under the authoritarian Estado Novo (1933-1974), which deliberately distanced Portugal from European issues and emphasised its Atlantic and African “vocation”.
