"The purpose of the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) is to formalise and strengthen relations between the EU and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The overall goals of the MOC include strengthening relations and the framework for cooperation between the EU and the ICAO, and establishing the terms, conditions and mechanisms for implementing this cooperation, with a view to greater harmonisation of standards and better coordination of related activities. The MOC neither replaces nor negatively affects other forms of cooperation between the parties involved, and establishes closer cooperation in the areas of aviation safety, aviation security, air traffic management and environmental protection. While it is not applicable to decisions relating to harmonisation and regulation, it does, however, establish regulatory cooperation in the preparatory stages of these activities, the coordination of audit and inspection programmes, and technical assistance. In the specific context in which aviation activity takes place, the role and pressures on the EU in terms of liberalisation – which, among other issues, always exacerbates security-related issues – are well known, so we have some reservations about these agreements. Moreover, there are some concerns about possible additions to the concept of aviation security, which could affect respect for the rights, freedoms and guarantees of passengers and workers in this sector."@en1
