Work Programme 2016

This Work Programme (WP) represents the EASA plan of activities for 2016. The planned activities take the high expectations of Industry, international partners, as well as of the European public into account, and in particular to adequately react at any time to safety issues and to take all reasonable proactive measures to minimise hazards to aviation. Close collaboration with the European Commission will secure full consistency of this Work Programme and its implementation with the overall strategy and priorities of the European Union's aviation safety and environmental protection policies. The Work Programme takes into consideration the provisions contained in the so-called Jean-Claude Juncker agenda1; the 2011 'White Paper on Transport'2, the Commission’s Communication to the Parliament on setting up an Aviation Safety Management system for Europe3; and the Single European Sky regulatory framework. Moreover the output and the actions of the EASA Management Board Sub-Group on the Future of the Aviation Regulatory System have been taken into account, as well as the constructive cooperation with the EASA Advisory Board. The activities described in this Work Programme depend on the revision of the Agency’s Basic Regulation (Regulation (EC) 216/2008) and might be subject to amendments based on the final text thereof.
