I would like to highlight that EASA cannot take any action
against anybody. EASA does not have any enforcement power against a
Member State of the Community.
EASA is, by law, performing periodic and ad-hoc standardization visits
to the National Aviation Authorities (NAA) of all EASA countries (the 27
EU countries + Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) in the
fields of initial and continuing airworthiness. They raise findings, if
any, and report to the visited NAA, its government, and the
Commission. They then agree and monitor a corrective action plan that the
NAA has to complete. In case the action plan is not properly
implemented, the only action that EASA can take is to issue a
supplementary report to the Commission, which will decide any further
actions.
Your intentional misleading words of alleged "action" from the part of EASA to the Portuguese agency INAC are wrong. I really expected much more correctness from the part of some individuals who claim for responsibility and fairness within the industry
Thank you for the clarifications. It seems to be a natural tendancy for any of us to simplify the role of aviation regulation to a single visible body.
I'm afraid that you might have to copy and paste your quote in numerous other future threads as well, while of course leaving out a supposition that other's ignorance is intentionaly misleading
