I think that lomapaseo is correct but that is symptomatic of deeper problems. In the UK the CAA also has the conflict that rottenray highlights:
Promote commercial air transport
... and ...
Keep ALL air operations safe
Whilst I am not in favour of more bureaucracy, splitting the two functions is important. There is a general perception (sweeping statement) in the UK that the CAA is too close to the carriers and the airport operators, not least as they are largely staffed by ex-employees of them. What is the balance between hiring people who have worked in the biz for 20 years and understand it and hiring people who have worked in the biz for 20 years and don't want to change anything?
