updates the Annexes with standards and Agency's recommendations, leveraging
the expertise of technical directorates;
The Members did their best to harmonise their practices with the Joint Aviation
Authorities (JAA), this system led to differing interpretations, which adversely
affected the efficiency of regulation and increased compliance.
A transition to the EASA system and decision-making based on the European
Community method will mark a significant improvement in the execution of
