Proposals for Digitalisation Amendments to Delegated Regulation on the Organisation and Composition of the Board of Appeal of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)

The document is a proposal submitted by the DigitalTrade4.EU consortium to the European Commission, outlining comprehensive amendments to the Delegated Regulation on the Organisation and Composition of the Board of Appeal of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). It advocates for the full digitalisation of the Board’s procedures, aligning them with key EU initiatives such as eIDAS 2.0, the Digital Single Market, and the EU AI Act. The proposals focus on enabling secure digital identities, legal equivalence of electronic documents, remote proceedings, AI-assisted case management, and robust cybersecurity. The overarching goal is to enhance efficiency, transparency, legal certainty, and cross-border interoperability in aviation dispute resolution, while supporting the EU’s broader green and digital transformation objectives.
