Strategic approach
24-25/03/2011 ICAO-COPAC International Safety Seminar 4
Por que? (Why?)
ICAO promotes the principles of Safety Management (SMS/SSP).Systems like EU need further consideration:
In the European System responsibilities are shared (Basic Regulation).MS and EASA need to work together to enact an SSP.
There is a need for a European Aviation Safety Programme.
