INTERIM REPORT – OPTIONS FOR CHANGE – ATTACHMENT B<br />

<strong>EASA</strong>.2009.OP.21<br />

EC<br />

EU OPS<br />

Annex III to Reg<br />

3922/91<br />

airsight GmbH - 4 -<br />

Amended by EC Reg 859/2008<br />

Applicability: Direct EC law in Member States: ie it has to be adopted as National Law, and<br />

applicable to air operators. Effectively JAR OPS 1 Part 1. Some States have retained JAR<br />

and the operation of aircraft.<br />

This allows for the transfer of any license, certificate or approval of any service provider from<br />

one Member State to any other; promoting a level field for commercial competition.<br />

No options or need to amend this Article.<br />

If licensing, certification, and /or approvals of service providers are recommended, the<br />

impacts would need to be considered. For example, whether the issuance of an approval<br />

was dependent on location specific criteria such as facilities; such as is usual with audits and
