"The Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) aims to formalise and enhance relations and cooperation between the EU and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). It was signed on 28 April in Montreal and on 4 May 2011 in Brussels and has been provisionally applied since then. The ICAO was founded by the Chicago Convention of 1944 as a UN Specialised Agency. Its 190 current Member States work together in the fields of aviation safety, aviation security, air traffic management, and environmental protection. The overall goal of the MOC is to ensure greater harmonisation of standards and closer coordination of respective activities. Thus far, provisions have only been laid down in relation to aviation safety. The parties agree to cooperate closely and to coordinate their safety activities. The approach is based on the mutual commitment to achieve the highest levels of aviation safety worldwide and a global harmonisation of safety standards and recommended practices (SARPs). The identification of unsafe areas and carriers is a common fundamental interest and an important part of shared activities. I believe that Parliament should contribute to strengthening the EU’s position within the ICAO, and it is therefore right that the Committee on Transport and Tourism has given its consent to the conclusion of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the European Union and the International Civil Aviation Organisation, which would provide a framework for enhanced cooperation."@en1
