Further details re inspection history of aircraft in question

Spanish radio station Cadena-SER in its main evening news broadcast from 20:00 onwards this evening:
i) Confirmed routine inspection by French authorities "a few days ago" in Marseille
ii) Mentioned a previous routine inspection by French authorities "recently in Paris"
iii) Further mentioned what I think was a major inspection in March of this year (though I did not quite grasp all the details. They seemed to be suggesting it was an inspection "by European authorities" but I am uncertain on this. Perhaps it meant "in accordance with European standards"?)

They discussed the nature of the company which owns the plane Swift Air, adding that of the 4 aircraft of its type which the company owns, this was the youngest and had been purchased in 2012, I think they said.
