Air accident rates vary from region to region, since aircraft built in Western Europe are amongst the safest in the world. Eastern European airlines have a high accident rate, as do those from Africa, Asia and South and Central America.
Under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, responsibility for aviation safety is assigned to individual States. The European Civil Aviation Conference applies the SAFA procedure (Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft) as a means of monitoring aircraft and, consequently, of increasing aviation safety.
I therefore support the European Commission’s proposal for a directive intended to formalise the SAFA procedure in the Community. It is seeking thereby to guarantee coordinated action, together with an exchange of information that enables the early identification of possible problems, which I believe adequately reflects concerns about guaranteeing air safety. In conclusion however, I should like to emphasise the importance of the proposal before us to restoring the safety profile of the aviation industry, in a period post 11 September 2001, in which this profile has been and is still fairly depressed and whose restoration is crucial to the sector’s survival."@en1
