Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations
Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations – Implementation Ensure that the regionalization adds value to the national aviation system and national organizations Assess scope and level of air transport activities and oversight functions Framework for a regional safety oversight system Identify and agree on those activities that can be regionalized Sustainability Ensure that the regional safety oversight system is designed to be sustainable and self-sufficient Integration Integrate the type of activities, legal and financing arrangements
Enabling States to establish an effective safety oversight system through Regional Organizations – Where are we ? • BAG • CEMAC • EAC • SADC • SEVEN PARTNER STATES • UEMOA
