EASA works with the National Competent Authorities and has taken over many of their functions in the interest of aviation standardisation across the EU.
EASA is also responsible for assisting the European Commission in negotiating international harmonisation agreements with the “rest of the world” on behalf of the EU member states and also concludes technical agreements at a working level directly with its counterparts around the world such as the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
EASA sets policy for aeronautical repair stations (Part 145 organisations in Europe and the US – also known as Part 571 organisations in Canada) and issues repair station certificates for repair stations located outside the EU (which permits foreign repair stations to perform work acceptable to the European Union on EU aircraft).
EASA has developed regulations for air operations, flight crew licensing and non-EU aircraft used in the EU.
