            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 1029/2014
of 26 September 2014
         
amending Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 laying down requirements on the quality of aeronautical data and aeronautical information for the single European sky
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management network (the interoperability Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 3(5) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Articles 3(13), 7(5) and 10(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 (2) refer to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2096/2005 (3), which was repealed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1035/2011 (4). The references to Regulation (EC) No 2096/2005 in Regulation No (EU) 73/2010 should therefore be updated to refer to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1035/2011.












(2)


Annex III to Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 refers to standards laid down by the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO). However, since the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 73/2010, the ISO has revised and re-numbered some of these standards. The references in Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 to the relevant ISO standards should therefore be updated to ensure coherence with the latest numbering and edition of these standards.












(3)


Annexes I, III and XI to Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 refer to various definitions and provisions laid down in Annex 15 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), and more specifically to its Twelfth Edition of July 2004, which incorporates Amendment No 34. Since the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 73/2010, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has amended a number of definitions and provisions and some of the structure of Annex 15 to the Chicago Convention, most recently in its Fourteenth Edition of July 2013, which incorporates Amendment No 37. The references in Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 to Annex 15 to the Chicago Convention should therefore be updated in order to meet the Member States' international legal obligations and ensure consistency with ICAO's international regulatory framework provided.












(4)


Regulation (EU) No 73/2010 should be amended accordingly.












(5)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee, established by Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 (5),
