The European Commission, EASA, and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management together with national authorities and industry representatives this week concluded a two-day conference where they updated regulatory plans and adopted an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/Drones%20Amsterdam%20Declaration%2028%20Nov%202018%20final.pdf?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=The%20EU%20paves%20the%20way%20to%20establish%20the%20common%20European%20drone%20services%20market&amp;utm_content=The%20EU%20paves%20the%20way%20to%20establish%20the%20common%20European%20drone%20services%20market+CID_ffedcae9db622394b7e6d4ce76ad8202&amp;utm_source=Campaign%20monitor&amp;utm_term=Amsterdam%20Declaration">Amsterdam Declaration</a>&nbsp;to foster a common European drone services market.

 


The conference provided an opportunity for EASA to discuss its proposed drone rule&nbsp;and have an exchange of comments with the aviation community. Proposed in late 2017, the rule would require a system that ensures drones do not enter a prohibited zone. It would address&nbsp;pilot qualifications and require&nbsp;pilots to register before they operate drones heavier than nine ounces. The proposal provides alleviations for model aircraft flying.

 


The Amsterdam Declaration&nbsp;urges European agencies and industry to “continue the good progress towards the delivery of the common European drone services market.”&nbsp;It&nbsp;sets these priorities: providing support to member states in&nbsp;implementing&nbsp;European drone regulations; developing an institutional framework for a competitive services market and how drones need to be operated in the Single European Sky concept; developing European product and performance standards for drones; developing communication and promotional material for information campaigns to all drone users involved in drone operations; and investing in the necessary research and development&nbsp;that is a key enabler for the growth of safe, secure, and green drone operations in Europe.&nbsp;
