A single European Military Airworthiness Organisation (JAA Model) owning a suite of European Military Airworthiness Requirements used by all participating Member States to
govern peacetime European Military Airworthiness activities…

Managing Military Organisational Approvals• Relevant progress made by pMS on EMAR implementation and mutual
recognition is greatly appreciated.
• Harmonised Systems approach for State Safety Management andRegulation of Airworthiness – including the management of IndustryApprovals - required for consideration by the MAWA Forum, with a viewon development of EMAS.
• Agreement between pMS on robust cooperation framework to deliver thebenefits envisaged by the MAWA Forum and Industry not yet in scope.
• Current disharmony amongst pMS continues to result in multiple /duplicated oversights of the same business for different purposes, causingsignificant effort in time and cost.
• Currently Organisational Approvals are often granted and managed inisolation in a project-based manner.

Project-basedCooperationFramework
• Industry burden to maintain multiple national organisation approvals for the different countries and business entities.
• Multiple / duplicated oversights of the same business for different purposes.
• Highly Complex oversight relationships.

ICAO - Oversight Obligation and System• ICAO Annex 19 Safety
ManagementSystematic improvement ofsafety performance through
– State Safety Programme(SSP).
– State Safety OversightSystem.
• Definition of 8 critical elementsof an effective State’s SafetyOversight System.
ICAO Annex 19 requires the Stateto establish
– a State Safety Programme (SSP)
– a Safety Oversight System
8
Safety Oversight
Function by means of which States ensure
effective implementation of the Safety
related Standards and Recommended
Practices (SARPs)
to achieve an acceptable Level of Safety
Performance.
(ICAO Safety Oversight Manual)
ICAO - State Safety Oversight• … the control and supervision of
... approved organisations is aresponsibility of the State andone of it’s Safety Oversightobligations.
• Collaboration between States toachieve standardisation andharmonisation of approach.
• Balanced responsibility betweenState and Industry for Safety.
• Communication and consultationbetween State and AviationIndustry in an effective System.
ICAO has identified Licensing,Certification, Authorisation andApproval Obligations as one of thecritical elements of a State’s SafetyOversight System.
9
Joint Concept for Industry Approvals - Aspirations• State Safety Oversight obligation separate from the State’s involvement in
collaboration programmes.
• New approvals should be granted following a single review of the organisation’scapability by a joint group of assessors agreed by the pMSs.
• Progressive mutual recognition by respective pMSs until such time that a tippingpoint was achieved that allowed for a single joint pan pMSs approval to begranted for existing approvals; same approach followed for the continuation ofsuch approvals.
• In a joint Concept for Industry Approvals the MAWA Forum would need to definewho the owner of the joint State’s Safety Oversight obligation is. Who providesthe joint Organisation Approval?
• How can a practical way of decision making be found?
• What is the common regulatory baseline for a joint oversight concept?
• ASD would wish that NMAAs were able to accept organisation approvals fromCivil Authorities without the need for further initial or repeat assessments and/oraudits.
• How do EDA and EASA facilitate cooperation on oversighting?

NMAAsPermanent Central CooperationFramework
NMAAs permanent central cooperation framework could potentially• take on role of ‘The State’ in line with ICAO principles.• own joint State’s Safety Oversight obligation.• provide the joint organisation approvals.

EASA – EDA Cooperation in Approvals / Oversight• Cooperation on Oversight
Activities, Initial and ContinuedOrganisation Approvals.
EASA to cover Initial and ContinuedOrganisation Approvals on thebasis of the OPT-IN option in NBR.
• EASA – harmonised Civil EuropeanAviation System with matureOversight System.
• Harmonised Certification Process,Organisation Approval Regulationand Oversight mechanisms –proven concept, industryfamiliarity.

Summary• Significant MAWA Forum achievements - Relevant progress by pMS on
EMAR implementation and mutual recognition.
• Having committed to common Safety Objectives, the MAWA Forumshould work towards a Joint Safety Oversight concept.
• In a joint Concept for Industry Approvals the MAWA Forum would need toagree who the owner of the joint State’s Safety Oversight obligation is, ifsuch a joint concept is to draw on the globally recognised State SafetyOversight principles of ICAO.
• Finding a suitable Cooperation Framework of permanent nature betweenNMAAs appears to be one key enabler to deliver the benefits ofstandardised approaches and existing oversight best practice in the civildomain. Approvals should be ‘per Organisation’ and with a defined scope.
• Scope for EASA – EDA Cooperation in Organisation Approvals / Oversighton the basis of the OPT-IN option in NBR.
• ASD are committed to fully support the MAWA Forum and EDA to achievetasks of new Roadmap.
