Opinion No 04/2026

Regular update of Regulation (EU) 2023/2117 - Repository of civil-aviation-related information

This Opinion proposes to amend Regulation (EU) 2023/2117 which lays down the necessary rules and detailed requirements for the functioning and management of a repository of civil-aviation-related information.
This Opinion amends:

  • Articles 3, 4 and 8 in relation to the use access interface, reference to data analysis and dissemination of information, respectively. 
  • Article 18 in relation to the date of application of the new group category A2 and group categories B and C; in addition, the date of application for legacy data is postponed to 31 May 2029 and, for non-digitalised data, to 31 May 2031.
  • Annex I, by removing and reprioritising a number of information objects. Annex I is also restructured to improve the readability and ensure consistency and alignment with the Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 (the Basic Regulation).

The proposed regulatory material is intended to improve the exchange of civil-aviation-related information between national competent authorities, the Agency and the European Commission and allow for a more effective and realistic application of the Regulation.
