   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 3922/911, and in particular point (a) of Article 44(1) thereof,
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 of 16 January 2009 laying down
   requirements on data link services for the single European sky2, and in particular Article 14
   thereof,
   Whereas:
   (1)     Under Article 14 of its Regulation (EC) No 29/20093, the Commission is to examine
           requests submitted by the Member States for exemptions from the requirements of
           Article 3(2) for aircraft types/models combinations reaching the end of their
           production life and being produced in limited numbers and for aircraft types/models
           combinations for which re-engineering costs would be disproportionate due to old
           design.
   (2)     The exemptions should maintain the objective laid down in recital (8) of Regulation
           (EC) No 29/2009 that at least 75% of flights should be equipped with data link
           capability.
   (3)     The Commission received Member States’ requests for exemptions and consulted the
           parties concerned. Following the examination of those requests carried out by the
           Commission on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No
           29/2009, exemptions should be granted.
   (4)     The Commission re-examined the exemptions granted under Commission Decision
           C(2011) 2611 final of 20 May 2011 on exemptions under Article 14 of Commission
           Regulation (EC) No 29/2009 and Commission Implementing Decision C(2011) 9074

           be repealed.
