After the meeting Minister Mutafchiev said:

“We discussed all issues which worry the branch. I ordered to GD Civil Aviation Administration to publish an information bulletin with all normative documents, which will regulate the aerial navigation and the aviation business in the EU. We will create a common workgroup to specify the problems and in the same time to suggest concrete changes in the low sub-ordered acts, so that the legislation will be completely synchronized.

The Ministry of Transport has the support of the Bulgarian Air companies Association and experts from the aviation branch, together with GD “Civil Aviation Administration”, to resolve all the problems in accordance with the recommendations of EASA.

The Ministry will continue its work, together with the branch, on the solution of the problems, pointed out in the monitoring report.
