Introduction

On 7 December 2015, the European Commission adopted a new aviation strategy for Europe. The new Aviation Strategy for Europe includes a plan on how to adequately address the future challenges faced by the EU aviation sector, and to improve the competitiveness of the European aerospace industry worldwide.

Therefore, in addition to economic measures, this plan also includes a proposal for a revision of the Basic Regulation in order to ensure the necessary adjustments of the aviation-relevant regulatory structure in Europe.

Over the last 3 years, this proposal for a new Basic regulation has been discussed and negotiated. This new Basic regulation is now published as "Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 establishing common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency" on 22 August 2018 in the Official Journal the European Union and entered into force on 11 September 2018. It completely replaces the current Regulation (EU) 216/2008.
