The European Union at ICAO in Montréal, Québec, plays a crucial role in advancing EU's external aviation policy, aligning with the internal market regulations. Established by the European Commission in 2005, the office's inauguration in 2007 marked a significant milestone. Headed by Ms. Delphine Micheaux Naudet, the office operates under the Air Transport Directorate of DG MOVE, maintaining strong ties with the Canadian Government through the EU Delegation in Ottawa.
As an ad-hoc observer in various ICAO bodies, the European Union collaborates closely with ICAO on aviation safety, security, environment, and air transportation matters. The office facilitates communication between the EU and ICAO, ensuring coordination among European States represented at ICAO Council meetings. Day-to-day activities involve attending key ICAO gatherings, providing updates on EU aviation policies, and fostering cooperation between the EU and ICAO.
With a focus on enhancing EU's participation in ICAO activities, the office's functions include promoting European engagement in ICAO initiatives, acting as a liaison for the European Aviation Safety Agency, and supporting security inspections. By maintaining a strong relationship with ICAO, the European Union at ICAO contributes significantly to the global aviation regulatory framework.
