Aviation: UK Relations with EU
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an estimate of the costs of not having mutual recognition agreements in place with the EU around a) the certification of aircraft parts and maintenance approvals and b) maintenance engineer licences.
Answered by Keir Mather
The UK remains committed to establishing closer cooperation with the EU on aviation safety, where possible.
The Government recognises that the need for separate approvals or licence validations may increase additional administrative requirements for industry. The Department continues to engage with stakeholders to understand these impacts.
