Germany is certainly not withdrawing from JAA.. .Fact is that they are (still <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> ) more than busy to finish a spotless translation of the laws and orders to be published. . .They are avoiding the Belgium issue, a useless and not at all recognised JAR-FCL licence, loopholes everywhere in the national issue of the paperwork.. .Sadly, it takes so long and as already mentioned, postponed since years now, a new date is set with late summer...
About EASA, ask the authorities, implementation is foreseen for summer 2003 with the licensing paperwork to be ready by summer 2004. This may be postponed by at least one year or, as it appears in the last couple of days, for several years with the priority list being changed constantly.
Fact is that the JAR-FCL licence will be issued in Germany, the question remaining is only....when!!!! <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="redface.gif" border="0"> <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">
