(GCAAGCAA) announced that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) chose the UAE to host EASA's international cooperation forum in its second session, the first outside Europe, which will discuss the latest developments in safety standards applied by EASA and followed by several civil aviation authorities around the world. The forum, which is to be held in Monarch hotel in Dubai between 27-29 April, is expected to see the participation of more than 100 delegations representing 50 states and aviation organizations from various countries which apply the EASA standards in their national and regional jurisdictions.
The aim of the forum, the first session of which was held in October 2008 in Cologne, Germany, is to share experiences and knowledge among states and authorities adopting EASA standards and update the participants with regards to latest developments in European air safety legislations.
Saif Mohammad Al Suwaidi, Director General, GCAAGCAA
, indicated that the selection of UAE, as represented by GCAAGCAA, to be the first country outside Europe to host this international forum stresses the position of the UAE in air safety and underlines the trust which International Civil Aviation Organizations and Authorities, especially EASA, have in UAE."EASA laws are among the best, latest and most strict international standards. That is why they have been adopted and applied by many of the countries outside the European Union. This gives considerable significance to the forum which is to be hosted by the UAE due to the wide participation expected by all civil aviation authorities and organizations around the world." Al Suwaidi added.
Headquartered in Cologne, Germany, EASA is in charge of drafting laws and legislations relating to European air safety and monitoring the application of such legislations in all EU states.
Established in September 2003 to perform tasks previously undertaken by JAA, EASA responsibilities also include the provision of advice to the European Union in connection with drafting new legislations in the field of aviation and monitoring the application of air safety rules, including inspections in member-states.
