EU Twinning

In the course of the European Union efforts to establish a European Common Aviation Area ( ECAA) including north and south eastern European countries and the EU member states, all future partner states should standardize their legislation by adopting EU aviation rules in areas such as aviation safety, air traffic management, safety management, environmental standards, public safety, air traffic management, economic regulation, question of competition, and social aspects. In order to achieve common standards, “Twinning projects” have been initiated, under which EU member states support the future partner countries in their development of common structures, and the applicable legal and administrative changes.
