European Aviation Safety Agency Slide 15ESSI Presentation to NARAST and SEARAST, Nov 07 ESSI - EGAST  A wide spectrum of activities  National Aero Clubs and Associations  Ten’s of thousands of pilots  Create a forum for:  Sharing best practices  Improving sources of information  Safety promotion  Taking soundings  Rulemaking activities and national initiatives  Just launched (17 Oct 07)

European Aviation Safety Agency Slide 16ESSI Presentation to NARAST and SEARAST, Nov 07 Conclusion (1)  The ESSI is an aviation safety partnership between EASA, other regulators and the industry  To further enhance safety for citizens in Europe and worldwide through:  Safety analysis  Implementation of cost effective action plans  And coordination with other safety initiatives worldwide

European Aviation Safety Agency Slide 17ESSI Presentation to NARAST and SEARAST, Nov 07 Conclusion (2)  Europe has specificities compared to the US and US-CAST, such as:  Dense mix of different types of airspace, often with military mix  Typically less crossing time-zones for domestic traffic  Terrain – populated / hostile environments (mountains)  No fully integrated regulatory functions  Multiple languages and cultures  NA, SA and SEA regions also have specificities  ESSI offers a new approach to regional safety  Still in the takeoff phase, ESSI is looking forward to cooperate with Asia-Pacific RAST
