PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DIRECTIVE ON MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF
PERSONNEL LICENCES FOR THE EXERCISE OF FUNCTIONS IN CIVIL
AVIATION

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. The Treaty of Rome stipulates that the action to he taken
in pursuance of the objectives of the Community should
include inter alia the abolition of obstacles to freedom of
movement for persons, services and capital and the adoption
of a common transport policy. 2. Air Transport, being an integral part of the Community's
Transport System, is essential for the unhindered movements
of persons at intra-Community and international level. Its
further expansion depends i. a. also on the existence of
appropriately qualified and licenced personnel in sufficient
numbers to run present and future services. 3. However, demand and supply of personnel - especially for
certain staff categories such as pilots and air traffic
controllers - are not at present balanced throughout the
Community. This results in significant and acute shortages of
staff in some Member States. The need is therefore pressing
for increased personnel mobility to remedy this situation. For the personnel itself this will mean the possibility of
pursuing their profession in a Member State other than that
in which they acquired their professional qualifications
thereby enhancing their job prospects. 4. Article 8A of the Treaty requires that urgent measures are
taken in order to realise the free movement of persons within
the Community before the end of 1992. 5. At present personnel mobility in aviation is extremely
limited due mainly to the existence of differences in
licencing requirements and to the virtual absence of
acceptance by Member States of licences issued by another
Member State. - 2 -

6. The Commission has for some time been considering this
issue. In fact the mutual recognition of licences for
aircrew and ground staff was included in the priority list
for air transport approved by the Council in June 1978. The
Commission had a first study carried out already in 1978
which i. a. examined the situation of the mobility of
personnel in civil aviation in the Community. The study
confirmed the existence of differences in licensing
requirements and the resulting lack of exchange of personnel
between European companies in this sector. 7. The Commission has successively underlined in its 2
Memoranda on civil aviation of 1979 and 1984 the need to find
a solution to this problem. 8. Furthermore the adoption of the air transport policy
package in December 1987 underlines the need for flexibility
and the establishment of free movement for labour. Action in
this field is intimately linked to the next step of the air
transport policy to be undertaken in 1990. 9. Consultations have been conducted with various
organisations in order to develop a proposal for a system for
the mutual acceptance of personnel licences and
qualifications for the exercice of functions in civil
aviation. The consultations underlined the? importance of
moving towards harmonised rules and that in the meantime
Member States should not be obliged to lower their
requirements for licences. 10. The ICAO International minimum standards and recommended
practices with regard to the licencing of personel in air
transport are defined in Annex I to the Convention on
International Civil Aviation. This annex has been
substantially modified with effect from 16 November 1989. An
initiative should be therefore taken as quickly as possible
based on this new international set of rules. 11. Article 38 of the Convention on International Civil
Aviation permits states to file a difference between their
national regulations and practices and the ICAO International
standards. It is therefore not sufficient to rely on the work
of ICAO but Community action is necessary as quickly as
possible to give legal backing to the ICAO rules. 12. The proposal for a Directive should therefore support the
implementation of Annex I of the Convention on International
Civil Aviation with as few differences within the Community
as possible and lead to a European Licence which at least
meets the requirements of Annex I. - 3 -

13. It is also necessary that there is full correspondence
with the provisions of Council Directive 89/48/EEC (1) on a
general system for the recognition of higher-education
diplomas awarded on completion of professional education and
training of at least three years' duration. Professional
training and qualifications in civil aviation fall however
mostly outside the field of application of this Directive as
they are not generally obtained on the basis of
higher-education courses of at least three years' duration. 14. The proposal also takes into account the case law of the
Court. In the Choquet Case (2) relating to the mutual
recognition of licences for car drivers, the Court of Justice
has ruled that, given the diversity in statutory requirements
in the Member States in this field, the Member States are
entitled to demand that persons establishing themselves on
their territory obtain a national licence even if they
already possess a licence issued by their State of origin. However, the Member States have the obligation to accept
experience and qualifications acquired in other Member States
and are therefore not allowed to repeat unnecessarily exams
that have already taken place in other Member States. 15. A second ruling followed in 1987 in the Heylens case(3),
which confirmed that, in absence of a harmonisation of the
conditions for the access to a profession,. the Member States
are entitled to establish what knowledge and qualifications
are necessary for the exercise of that profession and to
require a diploma proving that these required knowledge and
qualifications exist. However, if the knowledge and
qualifications obtained in another Member State are
equivalent to that required, then the Member State is obliged
to recognize them. 16. According to these rulings national legislative
provisions would be incompatible with the EEC Treaty if their
application were to cause a hindrance in the free exercise of
the rights which Articles 48 and 52 of the Treaty guarantee
in connection with the free movement of persons and freedom
of establishment. Those hindrances could be e. g. the
duplication of required experience and tests, linguistic
difficulties or exorbitant charges. /. , OJ L 19 of 24. 1. 1989. 2) ECR 1978, p. 2293, case 16/78 of 28 November 1978. , case 222/86 of 15 October 1987. 3) ECR 198 , p. _ 4 -

17. The present proposal for a Directive therefore introduces
procedures which will facilitate the obligation of mutual
acceptance by Member States of equivalent licences and
qualifications obtained in other Member States of the
Community. 18. Considerable work has already been done at ECAC with a
view to determine terms of equivalence for pilots licences,
recommendation in this respect was passed in June 1988. It
would be useful to give this recommendation legal effect in
the Community in view of the special situation for pilots
(see paragraph 3). However, it has been necessary to modify
the terms slightly in order to bring them in line with the
above legal requirements of the Community. 19. The acceptance not only relates to licences but also to
any aspects of qualifications, experience and training. This
is important if a Member State cannot directly accept a
licence issued by another Member State because the latter has
no equivalent licence or no licence at all. 20. With a view to implementing the Directive it remains up
to the Member States to choose the way and methods of
acceptance of licences. However, to ensure the necessary
respect of the rules a certain transparency is introduced. If a Member State decides not to accept a licence or
qualifications needed for obtaining a licence it should
inform in writing the person concerned, the Member State
which had issued the licence and the Commission. It should
also indicate the additional requirements and/or tests which
are necessary for the licence to be accepted. 21. This is in line with the ruling in the Heylens Case
(222/86 of 15. 10. 1987), where the Court of Justice has ruled
on the obligation of national authorities to disclose the
reasons which may lead them to decide not to accept the
equivalence of a professional licence issued by another
Member State. 22. All licences accepted in this way by a Member State will
give right to the same privileges as those enjoyed by the
holders of national licences issued directly by the Member
State without discrimination and unnecessary formalities. 23. The obligation on Member States of mutual acceptance
should not however apply in respect of licences issued by a
non-Member State. - 5 -

24. Nationals of other Member States shall be admitted
without discrimination to training establishments and to all
examinations in a Member State on the same conditions as the
nationals of that Member State. Under the Treaty these
obligations already apply to public undertakings but
discrimination has occured for private undertakings and it is
therefore necessary to extend this obligation also to private
undertakings. 25. In order to realise for civil aviation the objective of
the Treaty of the free movement of labour it would, because
of the specific characteristics in this sector be necessary
to arrive at the full recognition of licences issued by
Member States. Such recognition can only be achieved if
requirements and training standards in all Member States are
at the same high level since otherwise safety might be at
risk. This will have to be achieved at the latest by
31. 12. 1992 to meet the date of the completion of the internal
market. 26. Considering the very short time left till that date and
the obligations the Commission has undertaken in order to
realise the internal market it is appropriate that the
necessary powers should be delegated to the Commission so
that the required results could be achieved on time. In view of developing its proposals for measures establishing
harmonised requirements the Commission should make use of all
available knowledge in this field. More specifically the
Commission intends to cooperate with ECAC - which has already
made substantial progress in the matter - and to call on the
expertise of Member States in this field. "

COMMENTS ON THE VARIOUS ARTICLES

Article 1

This defines the scope of the Directive. Article 2

This article lays down the definitions of terms used in the
Directive. Article 3

This article sets out the conditions under which Member
States have to accept licences issued by other Member
States. It also provides for the automatic recognition of a licence
respecting Community requirements when they have been
adopted by virtue of Art. 9. Special reference is made to private pilote licences. The
intent is to enable holders of PPLs to fly aircraft
registered in any Member State without the need to obtain
licence validation from the State of registry. Consultations with national experts and a recommandation in
ECAC indicate clearly that the automatic recognition of PPLs
could be established already now. Article 4

This article lays down the procedures to be followed by a
Member State when a licence cannot be accepted because it is
not equivalent. The candidate is provided the possibility
in the case of non-acceptance to pass any additional tests
within a reasonable time limit. Article 5

This article lays down the obligations of Member States in
respect of the validation of licences until Community
requirements have been adopted and when certain conditions,
as set out in the annex, are met. Article 6

Besides the acceptance of licences, member States shall
accept equivalent experience and qualifications obtained in
other Member States. This provision will contribute to
increased mobility and job prospects for aviation personnel
and fulfil the requirements flowing from the Court ruling in
the Choquet and Heylens cases. Article 7

This article provides that nationals of all Member States
shall be admitted to the public and private training
establishments and examinations in a Member State on the same
basis as its own nationals. /. - 7 -

Article 8

This Article stipulates that Member States shall not be
obliged to accept licences issued by a Member State on the
basis of a licence issued by a third country. This principle
is already recognised in the Directive concerning drivers
licences. Article 9

In order to be able to realize the long term objective of the
Directive, namely to come to an automatic recognition of
licences in civil aviation issued by Member States, it is
necessary that harmonised requirements for licences and
training programmes should be adopted. This article sets the
date, 31. 12. 1992, by which this work must be completed. It
also provides that in the meantime Member States' licensing
requirements should at least meet the level of those in the
8th edition of Annex 1 to the Convention on International
Civil Aviation. Article 10

The Commission is of the opinion that the aims of Article 9
can only be achieved in time with the assistance of a
regulatory Committee. This article describes the composition, the tasks and the
working procedures of such a Committee. Articles 11 and 12

Procedural articles. 8

PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL DIRECTIVE ON MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF
PERSONNEL LICENCES FOR THE EXERCISE OF FUNCTIONS IN CIVIL
AVIATION

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Economic Community, and in particular Article 84 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the Opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2),

Whereas the existence in sufficient numbers of appropriately
qualified and licensed personnel is vital for the smooth and
safe running of air transport services;

Whereas air transport is a higly dynamic and rapidly
developing sector of a particularly international character;
whereas therefore the balance between supply and demand in
personnel can be maintained more efficiently at the Community
rather than the national level;. /. (D
(2)

- 2 -

9

Whereas therefore it is essential that the Common Transport

Policy in the field of civil aviation is extended to ensure

the free movement of personnel within the Community;

Whereas furthermore the completion of the internal market by
the end of 1992 requires the existence of an efficient air
transport system to ensure the unhindered movement of people
within the Community;

Whereas the exercise of essential functions in civil aviation

is in most Member States possible only to persons who possess
a licence;

Whereas the requirements for such licences differ between
Member States to the extent that in many instances it is
difficult for a national of a Member State to exercice a
similar function in another Member State;

Whereas, the qualifications required for licences are not at
present laid down by the Community; whereas Member States
therefore retain the option of fixing the level of such
qualifications with a view to guaranteeing the safety of
services provided in their territory; whereas they may not,
without infringing their obligations laid down in the Treaty,
require a national of a Member State to obtain those
qualifications, which in general they determine only by
reference to their own national education and training
systems, where the person concerned has already acquired all
or part of those qualifications in another Member State;

Whereas, therefore any host Member State in which a function
in civil aviation is regulated, is required to take account
of qualifications acquired in another Member State and to
determine whether those qualifications correspond to the
qualifications which it requires;. /. - 3 -

'to

Whereas a Community procedure for the acceptance of licences
and qualifications for the personnel exercising functions in
civil aviation is appropriate in order to facilitate
compliance with Treaty obligations and to ensure unhindered
personnel mobility; whereas the acceptance of licences would
be further facilitated by the obligation of Member States to
respect the minimum requirements for licences in conformity
with the eighth edition - July 1988 of Annex 1 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation;

Whereas regarding private pilots the recognition of their
licences in all Member States can already be established;

Whereas in order to be permitted to operate aircraft in a
Member State other than that where they obtained their
licence professional pilots are normally subjected to
additional tests; whereas this practice constitutes an
obstacle to the free movement of air services and should be
rectified; whereas urgent action is therefore required for
professional pilots;

Whereas the elimination of the present air congestion
problems necessitates the urgent training of a large number
of additional air traffic controllers, whose function is
vital to the smooth and safe running of air transport
services;

Whereas training facilities are not always available in
Member States commensurate with demand;. /. -4-

A4

Whereas in conformity with Article 7 of the Treaty Member
States shall admit nationals of other Member States to public
and private training establishments and professional
examinations on a non-discriminatory basis;

Whereas in order to achieve full mutual recognition of
licences it is essential to specify common requirements for
licences and training programmes;

Whereas it is appropriate to delegate the power to specify
such requirements to the Commission assisted by a
regulatory committee;

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE

Article 1
