Johnm, see the first post on the thread;

"Inquiry into the CAA
It has come to my attention that the Transport Committee of the House of Commons has decided to launch an inquiry into the remit and work of the Civil Aviation Authority. The Committee intends to look at the following issues:

• the remit, structure, and powers of the CAA;
• the performance of the CAA in relation to its statutory objectives and functions
• the effectiveness and efficiency of the CAA’s regulatory framework
• the effectiveness and efficiency of the CAA in the general discharge of its duties;
• the effect of growing international and European Union cooperation on the work of the CAA.

The Transport Committee have invited interested parties to submit . . . ."

Assuming yours was a genuine question and you really did not know, the straight answer is that EASA is a European body. The Transport Committee of the House of Commons is a UK thing, part of the UK parliamentary system of examining the various arms of government, quangos (of which CAA is one) etc.
