- To ensure a high uniform level of environmental protection throughout all the Member States;
- To facilitate the free movement of goods, persons and services;
- To promote cost-efficiency in the regulatory and certification processes;
- To promote Community views regarding civil aviation safety standards and rules throughout the world.
That's approximately 90% of what the UK CAA has as an annual budget for a single European country.
But the resources that really matter are the high quality people. There are a few in EASA - but very few.
