Commission Regulation (EU) No 452/2014
of 29 April 2014
laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations of third country operators pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC , and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
According to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, third country operators involved in commercial air transport operations of aircraft have to comply with the relevant standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
(2)
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 does not apply to third country operators flying over the territory subject to the provisions of the Treaty.
(3)
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 requires that to the extent that there are no relevant ICAO standards, third country operators have to comply with the relevant essential requirements set out in Annexes I, III, IV and, if applicable, Vb to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, provided that these requirements are not in conflict with the rights of third countries under international conventions.
(4)
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 requires that a European Aviation Safety Agency (hereafter referred to as ‘the Agency’) issues authorisations and continuously monitors authorisations that it has issued. The authorisation is one prerequisite in the process of obtaining an operating permit or equivalent document from the respective EU Member State under existing Air Service Agreements between EU Member States and third countries.
(5)
For the purpose of initial authorisations and continuous monitoring, the Agency is to conduct assessments and is to take any measure to prevent the continuation of an infringement.
(6)
The process of authorisation of third country operators should be simple, proportionate, cost effective, efficient and take account of the results of the ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme, ramp inspections and other recognised information on safety aspects with regard to third country operators.
(7)
Assessments of third country operators subject to an operating ban pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council may include an audit on-site the operator's premises. For the purpose of lifting a suspension of an authorisation, the Agency may consider conducting an audit of the third country operator.
(8)
In order to ensure a smooth transition and a high level of civil aviation safety in the European Union, implementing measures should take into consideration the recommended practices and guidance documents agreed under the auspices of ICAO.
(9)
It is necessary to provide sufficient time for the aeronautical industry and the Agency's administration to adapt to the new regulatory framework and to recognise under certain conditions operating permits or equivalent documents issued by a Member State to operate into, within or out of its territory.
(10)
The European Aviation Safety Agency prepared draft implementing rules and submitted them as an opinion to the Commission in accordance with Article 19(1) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008.
(11)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are compatible with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008,

4. When a finding is detected during monitoring, the CAA shall, without prejudice to any additional action required by Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and its Implementing Rules, communicate the finding to the third country operator in writing and request corrective action to eliminate or mitigate the root cause in order to prevent recurrence of the non-compliance(s) identified.
5. In the case of level 2 findings, the CAA shall:
  1. grant the third country operator a corrective action implementation period appropriate to the nature of the finding. At the end of the period, and subject to the nature of the finding, the CAA may extend the period subject to a second satisfactory corrective action plan agreed by the CAA; and
  2. assess the corrective action and implementation plan proposed by the third country operator. If the assessment concludes that it contains root cause(s) analysis and course(s) of action to effectively eliminate or mitigate the root cause(s) to prevent recurrence of the non-compliance(s), the corrective action and implementation plan shall be accepted.
Where a third country operator fails to submit an acceptable corrective action plan referred to in ART.230(e)(1), or to perform the corrective action within the time period accepted or extended by the CAA, the finding shall be raised to a level 1 finding and action taken as laid down in ART.235(a).
6. The CAA shall record and notify the State of the operator or the State of registry, as applicable, of all findings it has raised.
ART.235 Limitation, suspension and revocation of authorisations
1. Without prejudice to any additional enforcement measures, the CAA shall take action to limit or suspend the authorisation in case of:
  1. a level 1 finding;
  2. verifiable evidence that the State of operator or State of registry, as applicable, is not capable to certify and oversee the operator and/or aircraft in accordance with the applicable ICAO standard; or
  3. the third country operator being subject to an operating ban under any relevant enactment.
2. An authorisation shall be suspended for a maximum period of 6 months. At the end of the 6-month period the CAA may extend the suspension period for an additional 3 months.
3. The limitation or suspension shall be lifted when the CAA is satisfied that successful corrective action has been taken by the third country operator and/or the State of the operator.
4. In considering the lifting of a suspension the CAA shall conduct an audit of the third country operator when the conditions in ART.205(c) are met. In case the suspension is due to major deficiencies in the oversight of the applicant by the State of the operator or State of registry, as applicable, the audit may include an assessment with the aim to verify if these oversight deficiencies have been corrected.
5. The CAA shall revoke the authorisation when:
  1. the period referred to in (b) has expired; or
  2. the third country operator becomes subject to an operating ban under any relevant enactment.
6. If following a limitation referred to in (a) an operational restriction is imposed on the third country operator in accordance with any relevant enactment, the CAA shall maintain such limitation until the operational restriction has been withdrawn.
