Not quite true....Despite its name, there is actually no part of EASA concerned with Safety.
Whilst it is true that there is no one department within EASA whose function directly and specifically includes 'safety', one of the first statements one comes across on the EASA website is
Our mission is to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation.
Therefore, it is a little disingenuous to imply that EASA is concerned only with standardisation and not specifically safety standards.
The important point is that, having made such a mission statement, to accept anything less than the very highest safety standards is to immediately fail in that mission. It is thus clear that, by its very nature and composition, EASA is bound to fail - some (many) would say that it already has.
