ICAO, 7th December 2006
ECA has been at the forefront of calls to rationalise the safety structures in the single European aviation market and ensure the highest levels of safety using the most effective philosophies. We have been urging the European Commission to:
- be strong and effective leaders in safety culture
- ensure all of Europe's laws and regulations embrace a "just culture" particularly for incident reporting and accident investigation
- all agencies and companies have a comprehensive safety management culture and system
- all safety professionals such as pilots are able to exercise their responsibilities and authorities without fear or favour
