Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Licensing of Air Carriers Regulations 1992 by amending the definition of “the Council Regulation” in regulation 2(1) so as to take into account the amendment of the Annexes to the EEA Agreement done by the Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No. 7/94.

Amendments to the same effect are also made to sections 69A(8) and 105(1) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and regulation 3(1) of the Civil Aviation Authority Regulations 1991 (regulations 3 and 5).

The Licensing of Air Carriers Regulations 1992 are also amended so that the reference in regulation 18(3) to a member State becomes a reference to an EEA State (regulation 2).

Amendment to the same effect is also made to section 69A(5) and (8) of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and to article 4 of the Air Navigation Order 1989 (regulations 3 and 4).
