The Agency’s mission is “to promote and achieve the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation”. Based in part on the experience of the former Joint Aviation Authorities, the Agency has become the central aviation safety regulator in the EU and a reliable counterpart to aviation authorities worldwide, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States. Having started with airworthiness certification and related standardisation activities, EASA’s portfolio was extended considerably in 2008 to include rulemaking of air operations, pilot licensing and oversight of third country operators. EASA is now preparing to take over responsibility for the safety of aerodromes, air traffic management and air navigation services. Executive Summary The Annual Report provides detailed descriptions of the Agency’s principal activities: product certification, organisations approvals, standardisation, rulemaking, international cooperation, safety analysis, research, and safety assessment of foreign aircraft. EASA’s product certification workload is increasing year-on-year, while its product safety oversight activities led to several Airworthiness Directives being issued during 2008. Continuing Airworthiness tasks include maintaining close cooperation and coordination with National Aviation Authorities (NAAs) and working towards improved cooperation on the international level. A major milestone during 2008 was the Agency’s award of the first European Single Production Organisation Approval certificate to Airbus, which replaces the previous national Production Organisation Approvals issued by the French, German, Spanish and UK NAAs. This year also saw the first Export Certificates of Airworthiness issued. EASA’s efforts to coordinate standardisation of European rules and regulations increased during 2008 as it continued taking over work previously carried out by the JAA. Standardisation visits on Initial and Continuing Airworthiness were made to a total of 25 countries. The Rulemaking Directorate fully completed its revised work programme, delivering several opinions and decisions as well as developing draft rules on flight crew licensing and other important areas. A fouryear Rulemaking Programme was approved and a number of workshops held to obtain feedback on EASA’s rulemaking procedures. The Agency also took a more active role on International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) panels and task forces. International cooperation activities centred on improving communications with a number of aeronautical authorities, with the aim of concluding new working arrangements or expanding the existing ones. Technical cooperation took the form of assistance projects in several countries and through ICAO steering committees and associated meetings. EASA made significant contributions to safety analysis during the year and strengthened its relationships with European accident investigation bodies. Its role as collector and supplier of data was consolidated, and its Safety Analysis Section produced working papers on emerging safety trends in several areas. The Agency also worked with regulators and the aviation industry on the European Strategic Safety Initiative (ESSI), which has become recognised as a leading programme of its kind worldwide.
