| (19) | In terms of an update on more recent events, there was an ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission ('ICVM') in December of 2012 that resulted in the issue of two significant safety concerns ('SSC') The first SSC related to the certification process for Air Operator Certificates ('AOC') and the second SSC related to the approval of aircraft modifications and repairs of foreign type-certified aircraft registered in India. The Commission wrote again to the Indian Authorities on 30 April 2013 to enquire in more detail about the SSCs, as well as to raise other issues pertaining to the routine monitoring of safety information by EASA concerning safety oversight within the Indian State. The DGCA replied on 10 May 2013 and gave details of corrective actions for the SSCs. In August 2013 a second ICAO ICVM to India was conducted in order to verify if India had successfully implemented the corrective actions which had been agreed with ICAO. Following this ICVM, ICAO removed the SSCs. The full report of the ICVM is not yet available. |

| (20) | Of further relevance is the fact that the Federal Aviation Administration ('FAA') of the United States conducted an International Aviation Safety Assessment ('IASA') visit in August 2013. As matters stand at the moment, the Indian State has maintained its FAA Category 1 compliance status. Should there be a downgrade in this status in the future, the Commission would have to give due consideration to the commencement of formal consultations with the Indian Authorities in accordance with Article 3(2) of Regulation 473/2006. |

CAC also informed that as a result of that, several air operators have had their certificates suspended or revoked.

| (29) | On 18 October 2013, the Commission received documents confirming on the one hand the revocation of six air operator's certificates ('AOC') belonging to 'Mega', 'Samal', 'Euro-Asia Air International', 'Asia Continental Airlines', 'Deta Air' and 'Kazair West' (which had already been recertified under aerial work, and had already been removed from Annex A (6)), and on the other hand the suspension until 4 August 2013 of the AOCs of 'Semeyavia' and 'Irtysh Air'. Subsequently, CAC also informed that the AOC of 'Semeyavia' had meanwhile expired and that the operator had not applied for a prolongation or a re-issuance. The AOC of 'Irtysh Air' was suspended for a further unspecified period. As the suspension of an AOC is a temporary measure which does not necessarily entail termination of air carrier flight operations, 'Irtysh Air' should remain in Annex A. Consequently, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that six air operators - 'Mega', 'Samal', 'Euro-Asia Air International', 'Asia Continental Airlines', 'Deta Air' and 'Semeyavia' should be removed from Annex A. |

| (35) | On 24 October 2013 the Commission received copies of the AOCs and operation specifications of the newly certified operator TEZ JET which started operating commercial flights on 1 August 2013. Copies of documents related to three other recently certified air carriers - Kyrgyz Airlines, S. Group International and Heli Sky, which otherwise appear on the official website of the Kyrgyz competent authority, have not been received. Since the competent authorities of Kyrgyzstan were not able to provide evidence that the safety oversight of these four air carriers is ensured in compliance with international safety standards, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that TEZ JET, Kyrgyz Airlines, S. Group International and Heli Sky, should be included in Annex A. |

From 5 to 11 December 2012, ICAO performed an ICVM in Lebanon and reviewed the progress made in resolving the deficiencies identified during the USOAP audit performed by ICAO of the civil aviation system of Lebanon, conducted between 1 and 9 July 2008. After this ICVM the overall lack of effective implementation of the eight critical elements ('CEs') showed a slight improvement.

| (38) | During the mission, the ICVM team identified an SSC related to the air operator certification process. It was found that Lebanon had issued or renewed the AOC and operations specifications of two scheduled international carriers and a number of smaller AOC holders engaged in international flight operations without performing any of the required certification activities. The ICAO SSC Validation Committee on 31 January 2013 confirmed that the SSC persists. |

| (39) | The analysis performed by the Commission, EASA and the Member States of the December 2012 ICAO ICVM final report suggests that Lebanon does have problems in ensuring the effective implementation of Standard and Recommended Practices in two of the analysed USOAP areas: airworthiness ('AIR') and accident investigation ('AIG'). In addition, the state's capability appears affected by significant findings in four other of the analysed USOAP areas. |

| (40) | On 12 November 2013 the Commission invited the Lebanese competent authorities to a technical consultation meeting, which was attended by EASA and the representative of an EU Member State. During this meeting the Lebanese competent authorities briefed about the future new aviation law (Law Nr 481/2002) which foresees the establishment of an independent civil aviation authority, but which has not been adopted due to the political instability in the country. This adoption is dependent on the establishment of a new government, which will then allow for the appointment of the new Board of Directors for the authority, expected in 2014. The competent authorities stated that they had undertaken expeditiously the tasks conductive to address the deficiencies established in the ICAO's Corrective Action Plan ('CAP'). On the basis of this meeting the Lebanese competent authorities were invited to submit information regarding the oversight of their air carriers. The Commission and EASA will assess the received documentation, taking into account additional information from ICAO with regard to the work undertaken to resolve the SSC. The Commission also encourages active participation of Lebanon in the Union's MASC (Mediterranean Aviation Safety Cell) in order to promote the establishment of the State Safety Programme ('SSP') and enhance the aviation safety regulatory framework in Lebanon. |

| (50) | Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012, Member States have verified the effective compliance with relevant safety standards through ramp inspections carried out on aircraft of air carriers licensed in Mauritania. EASA's most recent SAFA analysis, shows that five inspections were carried out on aircraft of Mauritania Airlines International ('MAI'). EASA's analysis of the gaps identified during these SAFA inspections shows an unwelcome trend. The inspections exposed a number of shortcomings, some of which have an impact on safety, in particular with regard to the maintenance conditions. Following the analysis, two further inspections were performed in October 2013 confirming the trend identified and the nature of the shortcomings. |

| (84) | On 7 November 2013, the Commission, assisted by EASA and several Member States, held a meeting with the representatives of the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency ('FATA') where FATA briefed on the measures undertaken by the authority and the air carriers concerned, to address findings identified during SAFA ramp inspections. In particular, FATA stated that it keeps under control air carriers' performance and is ready to intervene, if necessary. It regularly uses SAFA results in the process of certification inspection or issuing specific approvals to verify an air carrier's compliance. |

| (85) | In order to answer questions related to a sharp increase in SAFA ratio, also representatives of 'Kogalymavia' were invited to the meeting of 7 November 2013. The Russian competent authority informed that it carried out an unscheduled inspection of 'Kogalymavia', whereby serious findings in the areas of airworthiness, flight operations and safety management were raised. The air carrier was given one month to correct all findings. Thereafter, within a period of two weeks, FATA will perform a follow-up inspection and decide whether to limit, suspend or revoke its AOC. The Commission pointed out that this air carrier's fleet and operations need to be closely reviewed along with the enhancement of the on-going supervision, in order to confirm that the technical condition of aeroplanes and safety of flights improve rapidly. If the situation with "Kogalymavia" does not improve, or the measures of the authorities are not adequate, the Commission will take appropriate action. As some of the fleet is registered in Ireland, the Irish competent authority (IAA) will take appropriate measures. |

| (88) | The investigation report in relation to the Yemen Airways ('Yemenia') accident at Moroni, Comoros Islands, on 29th June 2009 (2254 UTC) was published on 25th June 2013. In accordance with international standards the report was published by the State of Comoros with the participation of other States, such as France, the United States and Yemen. There had been concern amongst some participants as to the elapsed time between the accident itself and the publication of the final report. |

In accordance with international standards the report was published by the State of Comoros with the participation of other States, such as France, the United States and Yemen. There had been concern amongst some participants as to the elapsed time between the accident itself and the publication of the final report.

| (89) | The Commission and the Air Safety Committee welcomed the publication of the final report. In terms of conclusions, in relation to Yemenia the report states that the accident was due to the unsuitable actions of the crew in controlling the flight path of the aircraft leading it to enter a stalled flight condition without recovery, resulting in impact with the sea. The factor that preceded the stalled flight condition was an uncontrolled visual manoeuvre during a night circling procedure. The report goes on to state that the Yemenia crew probably did not have the mental capacity to react in an adequate manner to the various flight deck alarms. In addition, the report noted that there was an absence of a clear procedure that the crew should follow in the event one or both of the runway alignment lights were unserviceable. |

| (90) | The accident report offered three main recommendations: firstly that the Comorian authorities introduce emergency permanent measures adapted to the research and subsequent salvage of an aircraft accident occurring in the sea near its airfields, secondly that the Yemeni authorities ensure that all crews performing flights to Moroni are correctly trained for the completion of Visual Manoeuvring with Prescribed Track procedures (MVI) and thirdly that the Yemeni authorities review the training of Yemenia pilots specifically as regards their ability to react to emergency situations. |

| (91) | In light of the publication of the report, the Commission organised a meeting in Brussels on 1st July 2013 at which representatives from the Arab Civil Aviation Committee ('ACAC') and the Civil Aviation and Meteorological Authority ('CAMA') of Yemen were present. The meeting was organised to give an opportunity to CAMA to put forward its views on the accident report's main conclusions and recommendations. The Commission stated in a letter of 10 September that whilst it did not wish to get involved with the technicalities of the accident report, it did want to focus more on the safety performance of Yemenia and of the safety oversight applied to it, particularly because the air carrier regularly carries European citizens. More specifically, the Commission indicated that it wanted to learn more about the concrete actions taken by CAMA and Yemenia, following the publication of the accident report. |
