Why should RSOOs be classified?

Observation

: no “one size fits all”

• Existing RSOOs are diverse• Dependent on political, institutional, economical, industrial

and social circumstances• Future RSOOs to benefit from existing solutions

Academic interest

• Inventory to better know RSOOs


4

Why should RSOOs be classified?Practical interests

Technical assistance: better

knowledge Adapted

solutions (“tool-box” concept)

Defining RSOO « perimeter » =

an essential, early step in

establishing an RSOO

RSOO / RSOO dialogue more

fruitful if mutual knowledge is

more accurate

ICAO / RSOO relations

dependent on nature of RSOO


5

What could classification criteria be?Potential classification criteria (examples)

Transfer of regulatory powers (yes/no)

Transfer of enforcement powers (yes/no; if yes, type of judicial control)

Technical remit

Regulatory convergence / Standardisation / Mutual recognition

Type of funding

Conclusion

Classifying RSOOs has both academic and practical interests

There is no “one-size-fits all” RSOO institutional model

An initial list of potential criteria can be adopted by the

Symposium
