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. |

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. |

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.

| (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. |

| (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. |

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. |

As no response was received, on 30 October 2013 the Commission sent a further letter, stressing that, in order to avoid a summoning under article 7 of Regulation (EC) 2111/2005, an urgent response to its earlier enquiries was required.

| (93) | In a letter of 7 November 2013, CAMA responded with some details on its safety actions as a result of the accident. These details will need to form the basis for a meeting to be held with representatives of CAMA and Yemenia. Dependent on the outcome of this meeting, the Commission will either maintain the formal consultations with those that have responsibility for regulatory oversight over the air carriers certified in Yemen and with Yemenia, or the Commission will need to consider a summoning in accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) 2111/2005. |

(2013/716/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 of 20 December 2007 applying the arrangements for products originating in certain states which are part of the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States provided for in agreements establishing, or leading to the establishment of, Economic Partnership Agreements (1), and in particular Article 36(4) of Annex II thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 19 December 2011 the Commission adopted Implementing Decision 2011/861/EU (2), granting a temporary derogation from the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 to take account of the special situation of Kenya with regard to tuna loins. By Commission Implementing Decision 2012/208/EU (3) an extension of that temporary derogation was granted until 31 December 2013. |

By Commission Implementing Decision 2012/208/EU (3) an extension of that temporary derogation was granted until 31 December 2013.

| (2) | On 22 July 2013, in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007, Kenya requested a further extension of the said derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex for 2 000 tonnes of tuna loins for the period from 1 January 2014 until 31 December 2014.

| (3) | According to the information provided by Kenya, supplies of tuna remain unusually low compared to normal seasonal variation and vessels owners do not want to take the risk to supply raw tuna due to piracy. Therefore, Kenya is still not able to comply with the the rules of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 after the expiry of the derogation on 31 December 2013. |
