CJAA and EU/ECAC/JAA task force

• Key-issues
• How will all JAA Member States manage
  regulatory activity in Operations and Licensing
  after establishment of EASA?
• How will non EU/JAA countries manage
  airworthiness regulatory and certification
  activities after the establishment of EASA?

13
CJAA and EU/ECAC/JAA task force

• The task force needs to develop on the basis of
  the key issues a range of (management-) models,
  each with its pros and cons. All models need
  further discussion
• Division of tasks between EASA and JAA
• Endow JAA with a minimum of tasks
• Disband JAA and transfer all tasks to EASA

• Coordination and cooperation between EASA and JAA
  is essential
• Any new JAA must be in place when EASA starts
  operating
• We must ensure a common approach with all
  European countries

  JAA to EASA
