of safety and environmental protection in civil
aviation. EASA is the centrepiece of a new,
cost-efficient regulatory system in Europe and a
reliable partner for its counterpart authorities
throughout the world.
EASA
Vision
A safe and sustainable aviation
system.
People.
EASA invests in the best qualified
professionals to build a European centre of
excellence in aviation safety.
Performance. EASA aim to reach its regulatory and
advisory goals with the highest level of efficiency and
integrity.
Accountability. EASA is fully accountable to the
European Union and the public through a system of checks
and balances involving national governments and the
European institutions.
EASA is an independent European Community
body with a legal personality and autonomy in legal,
administrative and financial matters. EASA main tasks
are:
-
To assist the European Commission in
preparing legislation, and support the Member
States and industry in putting the
legislation into effect;
-
To adopt its own certification
specifications and guidance material, conduct
technical inspections and issue certificates
where centralised action is more
efficient;
-
To assist the European Commission in
monitoring the application of European
Community legislation.
More details on these tasks can be found in
EASA's
Safer Skies for European
Citizens brochure.
EASA work closely with representatives of
other organisations to ensure that it take their
views into account:
-
Interested parties in industry,
which are subject to rules drafted by EASA,
are key to ensuring the success of civil
aviation safety standards by assisting in the
drafting and correct application of European
Community and EASA rules;
-
European aviation authorities
perform a critical role in assisting EASA
with the performance of its core rulemaking,
certification and standardisation
functions;
-
International aviation organisations
such as the Joint Aviation Authorities,
Eurocontrol and the International Civil
Aviation Organisation work together with EASA
to promote international civil aviation
standards;
-
International aviation authorities
such as the Federal Aviation Administration,
Transport Canada, DAC/CTA (Brazil) and the
Interstate Aviation Committee (Russia) work
with EASA to ensure compliance with
international standards and to facilitate
trade in aeronautical products.

Accident investigation bodies issue
safety recommendations and analysis that
guide our safety strategy.
