ASFR-ERA cooperation agreement signed under the ERA Regulation
The Agreement was signed on the basis of the provisions of Article 76 of the ERA Regulation on cooperation with national authorities and bodies.
It provides that the Agency and national safety authorities shall conclude cooperation agreements, which may be specific agreements or framework agreements and may involve one or more national safety authorities. These agreements shall contain a specified description of the tasks and conditions for the services to be provided, set the deadlines for their provision and determine the distribution of the fees paid by the applicant between the Agency and the national safety authorities.
