2006 established the Community list of air carriers

Community referred to in Chapter II of Regulation (EC)
No 2111/2005 (2).

(7)

In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No
2111/2005, some Member States communicated to the
Commission information that is relevant in the context
of updating the Community list. Relevant information
was also communicated by third countries. On this
basis, the Community list should be updated.

The Commission informed all air carriers concerned
either directly or, when this was not practicable,
through the authorities responsible for their regulatory
oversight, indicating the essential facts and considerations
which would form the basis for a decision to impose on
them an operating ban within the Community or to
modify the conditions of an operating ban imposed on
an air carrier which is included in the Community list.

Community carriers

Following information resulting from SAFA ramp checks
carried out on aircraft of certain Community air carriers,
as well as area specific inspections and audits carried out
by their national aviation authorities,
the following
carriers have been subject to enforcement measures by
their national authorities with responsibility for oversight:

within INAVIC. On 1 October 2008 ICAO published the
final report of
its audit on Angola conducted from
26 November to 5 December 2007 in the framework
of
its Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme
(USOAP). This report contains also the comments of

submitted to ICAO to resolve the findings. The number

the Chicago Convention No 1, 6, 8 and 13 are forty-six

(46). These findings indicate a high level of
effective implementation of the Standard and Recom­
mended Practices (SARPs) of ICAO in all eight critical
elements of a safety oversight system. In particular, the
critical elements with more than 80 % lack of implemen­
tation are primary aviation legislation (84 %), specific
operating regulations (89 %), qualification and training
of technical staff (81 %), licensing and certification obli­
gations (81 %), surveillance obligations (80 %) and reso­
lution of safety concerns (100 %). Furthermore, there is
significant safety concern expressed by ICAO in the area
of aircraft operations certification and supervision, as to
whether, even after the submission of a corrective action
plan and actions implemented by INAVIC, ‘air operators
conducting international operations can demonstrate
meeting the regulations set forth by INAVIC to meet
ICAO Annex 6 provision’. At the date of publication

consulting the relevant documentation before a decision
is reached. In addition, each of these airlines was also
invited at the same time to submit written comments

of the common criteria, considers that all air carriers

shall consult the authorities of Angola on this matter
without delay.

There is verified evidence of insufficient ability of the
authorities responsible for the oversight of air carriers
certified in the in the Kingdom of Cambodia to address
safety deficiencies, as
showed by the USOAP audit

which reported a large number of non-compliances

significant safety concerns with regards to the capability
of the civil aviation authorities of Cambodia to carry out
their air safety oversight responsibilities. Consequently, as
envisaged in recital 35 of Regulation (EC) No 715/2008,
the Commission invited on 3 October 2008 the
competent authorities of Cambodia (SSCA) and all

corrective actions addressing the safety deficiencies iden­

sustainable manner to avoid the recurrence of significant
safety deficiencies. Following ramp checks of aircraft of
Yemenia which included findings indicating serious non-

October, where it received documentation demonstrating
that the carrier reacted appropriately and in a timely
manner to resolve the findings in a sustainable manner.
Therefore, the Commission considers that, on the basis of

of ramp inspections to be carried out on aircraft this

Regarding the exercise of safety oversight of this carrier,
the competent authorities of Gabon have not provided
evidence that
the oversight activities with regard to
aircraft operations are carried out in conformity with
international standards nor that the measures referred
to in recital (15) of Regulation (EC) No 715/2008 have
been implemented for this carrier. On 5 November 2008
the competent authorities of Gabon transmitted infor­
mation regarding the exercise of oversight activities on
certain carriers certified in Gabon. This information did
not contain any evidence regarding oversight in the area
of aircraft operations.

the Commission considers that, at this stage, the carrier
cannot be withdrawn from Annex A of the Community
