On 26 July 2011 entered into force the Agreement on civil aviation safety between the EU and Canada.
Despite the fact that Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are not part of the Agreement on civil aviation safety between the EU and Canada, the following Working Arrangements for the promotion of aviation safety between TCCA and the Civil Aviation Authorities of Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, reflect the technical elements related to aviation safety contained in the Agreement on civil aviation safety between the EU and Canada and facilitate the recognition and acceptance of approvals and testing in the areas established by Article 1(2) of the arrangements.
Moreover, the Working Arrangements designate the Competent Authorities for design approvals, production oversight and the certification of maintenance organisations.
