Advisory Bodies collaborative platform
Advisory Bodies collaborative platform (for Apple devices)
A large number of proposed Agency actions directly affect the Member States and the Industry. The so called advisory bodies provide the Agency with a forum for consultation of interested parties and national authorities on Agency priorities, both at strategic and technical level. This consultation covers all aspects of the rulemaking process. They also advise the Agency on EU wide safety priorities, strategic and horizontal issues. They are also key contributors to the European Plan for Aviation Safety (EPAS).
Member States’ Advisory Body (MAB) and Technical Bodies (TeBs)
The MAB and the TeBs are composed of representatives of the EASA Members States and the European Commission. Selected third countries with working arrangements, or specific agreements with the Agency to adopt and apply the Basic Regulation and its implementing rules, are invited as observers, as well as specific organisations, such as the European Defence Agency (EDA) and EUROCONTROL. The main functions of the MAB are set out in the MB Decision 19-2015, whereas those of the TeBs are described in the MAB and TeBs Rules of Procedure. The following TeBs have been established:
