Gulfstream 500 Completes EASA Validation
Found this if anyone is interested
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) have both validated the FAA type certificate for the Gulfstream 500. The dual validation allows the aircraft to be certified and registered in all 38 JAA member states, including the 25 countries of the European Union (EU), for which EASA now has legal authority for issuing type certificates. New type certification programs for aircraft produced and/or registered in the European Union are now conducted directly through EASA and are automatically valid for all EU states. Significantly, national aviation authorities no longer have the legal authority to impose additional technical requirements as they often did with JAA type certificates. However, for non-EU countries in the JAA (such as Switzerland and Turkey), type certification technically still has to be conducted under the auspices of the JAA with the resulting paperwork legally issued by national aviation authorities. In practice, explained an EASA spokesman, the process is conducted in close cooperation with JAA. The key distinction between EASA and JAA is legal authority, since EASA's certificates automatically go into force in EU member states. Gulfstream expects to complete the EASA/JAA validation process for the G350 in March.

What the previous posting doesn't say is that the EASA certification team and the JAA certification team are one and the same, or to be more precise the JAA team did all the work 'cos so far it is about as much as EASA can manage to raise a Type Certicate and take the credit for the work done by the JAA team!
