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 53(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


The Czech and Portuguese language versions of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/340 (2) contain an error in point ATCO.C.020, point (c), of Annex I (Part ATCO), as regards the renewal of on-the-job training instructor endorsement. The error was introduced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2143 (3) and affects the substance of that provision.












(2)


The Czech and Portuguese language versions of Regulation (EU) 2015/340 should therefore be corrected accordingly. The other language versions are not affected.












(3)


In order to ensure a uniform interpretation of the provision of point ATCO.C.020(c), as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2143, in all language versions from the date of entry into force of that Regulation, and to prevent the coexistence of incompatible versions of that provision in the Czech and Portuguese versions, it is appropriate that the correction becomes applicable on the date of entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2143.












(4)


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, delivered prior to the adoption of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2143,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
