Briefing: Common rules in the field of civil aviation
As air traffic is growing and new technologies such as unmanned aircraft are appearing in the skies, the European Union has decided to adapt its civil aviation rules. In December 2015, the European Commission presented a proposal for a regulation on civil aviation safety and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which would repeal the 2008 regulation on the same topic.

The provisional agreement is scheduled to be voted by Parliament at first reading during the June plenary session.
