Effective Certification, Oversight and Enforcement of Licences Issued by the IAA

Article 62 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, in relation to certification, oversight and enforcement of EASA licences, requires the IAA to ensure effective oversight and enforcement, which is only possible for individuals who are either resident in the State, or where an employment connection can be established with an organisation established in the State.

Accordingly, it is not always possible to process certain licence applications, in circumstances where the IAA is not in a position meet its responsibilities to provide for adequate oversight and enforcement.
