ICAO VIEWS ON REGIONAL AVIATION SAFETY ORGANISATIONS Sample Clauses

ICAO VIEWS ON REGIONAL AVIATION SAFETY ORGANISATIONS. The global picture of regional cooperation on aviation safety matters is currently quite complex and involves a number of layers and forms of cooperation. Following the establishment of USOAP in the 1990s, ICAO realised that SARPs are far from being applied in a uniform manner across the world, and that in addition some of the States do not have the necessary expertise or resources to establish effective safety oversight systems. In response to these problems it start- ed setting up technical assistance programmes on a regional basis known as COSCAPs (Cooperative Development of Operational Safety and Continuing Air- worthiness Programme).205 The main objective of COSCAPs is to assist States in the development of a harmonised regulatory framework and effective implementation of the CEs of safety oversight as identified by ICAO.206 Their scope was originally limited to pilot licensing, flight operations and airworthiness matters, that is Annexes 1, 6 and 8 to the Chicago Convention, but over time extended to other areas of avia- tion safety, including ATM, aerodromes, and accident investigation, in line with the CSA of USOAP.207 At the beginning of 2014 seven COSCAP projects were still in operation.208 203 ICAO, 'Cooperation with Regional Organizations and Regional Civil Aviation Bodies', A38- WP/9, (38th ICAO Assembly, 2013). 204 ICAO, Press Release No. 09/10, supra note 1. 205 The first COSCAP projects were set up at the end of the 1990s when ICAO has been transition- ing to USOAP as a mandatory programme. 206 ICAO Doc. 9734 Part B, supra note 3 in Ch.1, at Paragraph 3.2.2. 207 ICAO, 'COSCAPs in Five Regions ', World Bank/ICAO Air Transport Development Forum (Kuala Lumpur, 2008), Finally, in 2010 ICAO decided to create another structure - the RASGs - ‘to address and harmonize all flight operations safety issues on an ICAO region- wide basis.’209 When establishing the RASGs ICAO argued that both COSCAPs and RASOs created by States are established on a sub-regional basis only and focus mainly on oversight issues. The main objective behind ICAO creating RASGs is to have a system with world-wide coverage (see Figure VII) to monitor and coordinate the implementation of the GASP. Figure VII: ICAO Regional Aviation Safety Groups (RASGs) Source: ICAO, State of Global Aviation Safety (2013)210 What we can therefore see is that, although the Chicago Convention is al- most silent about regional cooperation, the concept itself is very much supported by ICAO as far as ...
