Labor, Employment and Benefits: Alert - November 10, 2009

European Union Updates Airline Operating Ban List
 
December 18, 2007
 
Alan D. Reitzfeld- New York

Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2005 established a general mechanism to create and update a Community list of third-country air carriers to be subject to an operating ban within the European Community for not meeting safety criteria. Commission Regulation (EC) No 473/2006 of 22 March 2006 provided specific implementing rules for establishing and primarily for updating the list of carriers subject to the ban. That same day, Commission Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 established the initial operating ban list. To date, the list has been updated six times: on 20 June 2006, 12 October 2006, 5 March 2007, 4 July 2007, 9 September 2007, and 28 November 2007. The regulations, operating ban list, and other materials are available online at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air-ban/furtherinfo_en.htm#3.
