The 33rd Plenary Session (Triennial) of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) will take place in Strasbourg 10-11 July
The Directors General of the 44 ECAC Member States will come together with high level representatives from a wide range of ICAO Member States and international organizations, including IATA, ACI/Europe and AEA, to discuss current issues in international civil aviation. The meeting will also take certain formal decisions in relation to ECACs work programme and budget for the next three years, and will elect the ECAC President and Vice-Presidents, and members of the organisations executive Coordinating Committee.
The Plenary Session will be opened by the President of ECAC Catalin Radu, and addressed by the President of the Council of ICAO, Roberto Kobeh Gonzales; by the Head of the Cabinet of the Vice President of the European Commission Henrik Hololei; and by the CEO and Director General of IATA, Tony Tyler.
The first day of the Plenary will be devoted to strategic discussions, designed to fuel European States preparations for the 2013 ICAO Assembly, focussed on the economics of aviation, aviation and environment, aviation security, and aviation safety and air traffic management. The Secretary General of ICAO and former Executive Secretary of ECAC, Raymond Benjamin will offer his reflections on these discussions.
During the Plenary, ECAC expects to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with IATA on cooperation in aviation safety and security matters; a Memorandum of Understanding of a more general nature with the Economic Community of West African States; and a joint work programme for 2013-15 with the Arab Civil Aviation Commission.
The Executive Secretary of ECAC Salvatore Sciacchitano has underlined that the Triennial Session not only sets the ECAC budget and work programmes for the three years to come, but also provides an excellent opportunity for the organisation to debate with its many international partners, and with key industry stakeholders, on a range of important issues facing the global air transport sector today.
