Civil aviation: Safety requirements and professional competence for cabin crews

The Council instructed the Permanent Representatives Committee to carry out a detailed examination of the draft Directive on safety requirements for cabin crews in connection with the proposal for a Regulation aimed at incorporating JAR OPS 1 (Joint Aviation Requirements) into Community legislation. Drawing the Council's attention to the abovementioned proposal, the Presidency stressed the political importance of the draft at a time when the Commission had just submitted its new proposal on the incorporation of JAR OPS. It is recalled that the proposal forms part of the technical, social and safety measures accompanying the process of liberalisation in the air transport sector.�
