WG-SDP Report

WG-SDP Rapporteur on AviationJosé Fernández (ESP)

 Activities will be focussed on the preparation and realization of the ECMA-2015 conference in autumn (see item 5.2 of the agenda) The Conference may help to identify the specific challenges and needs of the “subregions” (e.g. ECTRL members and non-ECTRL members) in order to overcome a Region VI of “two velocities”. ECMA could serve to identify necessary follow up actions: e.g. by calling for coordinated activities of RAVI, CAeM and ICAO working bodies.

WG-SDP Report

WG-SDP Rapporteur on Aviation

In that sense the outcome of ECMA could also become a model to demonstrate the benefit of coordinated inter-commission activities.

Depending on the ECMA results, it should be considered whether there is a need to constitute an Aviation Expert Team.
