In the UK, the CAA can no longer issue ADs: now down to EASA. Of course, the primary source for USA manufactured aircraft would normally be the FAA. It is early days yet, but EASA may have a different philosophy about urgency and how safe is safe. The CAA and EASA seemed to have a different view/approach about the EC 225 gearbox issue.
