House Republicans Worry EASA Changing Cert Approach
House T&I Committee Republican leaders urged U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to ensure that EASA intends to comply with bilateral agreements.

Republican leaders on the House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee are expressing concern that the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) may be considering approaches to certification that are contrary to bilateral agreements. In a letter last week to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Reps. Sam Graves (R-Missouri) and Garret Graves (R-Louisiana) cited EASA Director-General Patrick Ky’s statements in January that EASA "will increase our level of involvement [and] our level of independent review of U.S. projects in order to build our own safety assessments.”
