Division 2.2 Equivalency of the level of protection

The intent of requiring the statement by the competent authority of the State where the aircraft is, or was, registered, reflecting the airworthiness status of the aircraft on its register at time of transfer when an aircraft is imported into an EASA state is to enable the importing State to verify that the aircraft conforms to a type design approved under an EASA type-certificate, that any supplemental type-certificate, change or repair had been approved in accordance with Annex I (Part-21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012, and that the applicable airworthiness directives had been implemented.

The measure proposed by the Swedish Government to waive the requirement to include such as statement can provide for a level of protection equivalent to that prescribed by the applicable implementing rules in Annex I (Part-21) to Regulation (EU) No 748/2012 related to the necessary documents for the issuance of a certificate of airworthiness for a used aircraft imported from a non-EU state provided other means are used to achieve the required assurance. Those means are described under point 4.
