of 25 February 2020
         
amending Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as regards transitional measures for organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness for general aviation and continuing airworthiness management and correcting that Regulation
(Text with EEA relevance)


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 17(1) and Article 62(14) and (15) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 (2) has introduced more flexible requirements for maintenance of light aircraft established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (3). It has also added safety risk management measures for organisations that manage the continuing airworthiness of aircraft operated by holders of an air operator certificate.












(2)


In order to move toward full compliance with the new rules and procedures it introduced, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 provided for transitional measures for organisations involved in the continuing airworthiness of aircraft and components. In order to clarify the oversight requirements of those organisations, the transitional measures should be amended.












(3)


Some missing or wrong references between Annexes to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383 should also be corrected.












(4)


As the intention of the Commission is not to extend further the transition period, application date of this amendment should be aligned with the one laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1383.












(5)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 127(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139,
