Following a recommendation from the Management Board of EASA, a European Aviation Safety Advisory Committee (EASAC) was created in October 2009. The main goal of EASAC is to advise on a Strategy and propose a European Programme and a Plan for safety. As a starting point to help build the first European Aviation Safety Plan, EASAC is asking the Member States to provide their top five safety concerns. In this context, EASA considers that this process will greatly benefit if EUROCONTROL was also to submit an input.
