COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/410
of 10 March 2022
amending Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 as regards the continuing airworthiness management in a single air carrier business grouping
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2018 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency, and amending Regulations (EC) No 2111/2005, (EC) No 1008/2008, (EU) No 996/2010, (EU) No 376/2014 and Directives 2014/30/EU and 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 552/2004 and (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 (1), and in particular Article 17(1) and Article 62(14) and (15) thereof,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 (2) lays down the requirements for the continuing airworthiness of aircraft, including the requirements for its management. |
|
(2) |
Pursuant to Annex I (Part-M) to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014, in the case of aircraft used by air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), the operator is to be responsible for the continuing airworthiness of the aircraft it operates and shall be approved, as part of its air operator certificate, as a continuing airworthiness management organisation (‘CAMO’) pursuant to Annex Vc (Part-CAMO). |
|
(3) |
When air carriers form part of a single business grouping, this requirement creates certain barriers to the establishment and implementation of a common continuing airworthiness (‘CAW’) management system for all aircraft that are operated by that grouping. The lack of such a common CAW management system results in duplication of tasks because the organisations do not benefit from having similar objectives and procedures, and in prevention of short-time interoperability of aircraft between different air operator certificate (‘AOC’) holders. |
|
(4) |
Moreover, the current situation is considered by industry to create a competitive disadvantage compared to other non-EU air operators, which are not subject to such legal constraints. |
|
(5) |
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 should therefore be amended in order to allow air carriers licensed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 that form part of a single air carrier business grouping to contract a CAMO within that grouping for the continuing airworthiness management of aircraft operated by them. |
|
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are based on Opinion No 04/2021 (4) of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in accordance with Articles 75(2), point (b), and 76(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139. |
|
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 127(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1139, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 is amended as follows:
|
(1) |
in Article 2, the following point (t) is added:
|
|
(2) |
Annex I (Part-M) is amended in accordance with Annex I to this Regulation; |
|
(3) |
Annex Vc (Part-CAMO) is amended in accordance with Annex II to this Regulation. |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

DECISION No 4/2022 OF THE BUREAU OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS
of 25 January 2022
laying down internal rules concerning restrictions of certain rights of data subjects in relation to the processing of personal data in the context of activities and procedures carried out by the Committee of the Regions
THE BUREAU OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (1), and in particular Article 306 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC (2) ("the Regulation" or "EUDPR"), and in particular Article 25 thereof,
Having regard to the Rules of Procedure of the European Committee of the Regions (3), and in particular Rule 37(d) thereof,
Having regard to the opinion D(2021) 0894 (Case 2021-0345) of the European Data Protection Supervisor ("the EDPS") of 20 April 2021, consulted in accordance with Article 41(2) EUDPR,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Pursuant to Article 3(1) EUDPR, any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject") should be considered personal data. |
|
(2) |
The Regulation applies, in the same way as to any Union institution, to the Committee of the Regions ("the Committee") as regards the processing of personal data in the context of the activities and procedures it carries out. |
|
(3) |
The controller within the meaning of Article 3(8) EUDPR is the Committee who may delegate the responsibility for determining the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. |
|
(4) |
Pursuant to Article 45(3) EUDPR, the Bureau of the Committee of the Regions ("the Bureau") adopted implementing rules (4) concerning the Regulation and the data protection officer of the Committee ("the DPO"). In accordance with those rules, the department (directorate, unit or sector) of the Secretariat-General of the Committee or the secretariat of one of the political groups in the Committee that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of the personal data should, in respect of those data, act on behalf of the Committee as delegated controller. |
|
(5) |
The Committee and the European Economic and Social Committee ("the EESC") share certain departments and resources ("the Joint Services") in the context of inter-institutional cooperation, and the applicable internal rules concerning restrictions of data subjects’ rights in relation to the processing of personal data by the Joint Services should be determined in accordance with the arrangements concluded between the Committee and the EESC to that end. |
|
(6) |
To fulfil the Committee’s tasks, data controllers collect and process information and several categories of personal data, including identification data of natural persons, contact information, professional roles and tasks, information on private and professional conduct and performance, and financial data. Data controllers are therefore obliged, under the Regulation, to provide information to data subjects on those processing activities they perform and to respect their rights as data subjects. |
|
(7) |
Data controllers might be required to reconcile those rights with the objectives of the inquiries, investigations, verifications, activities, audits and proceedings that are conducted within the Committee. They might also be required to balance a data subject’s rights against the fundamental rights and freedoms of other data subjects. To that end, Article 25(1) EUDPR gives data controllers the possibility to restrict the application of Articles 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 35 and 36 EUDPR, as well as Article 4 EUDPR insofar as its provisions correspond to the rights and obligations provided for in Articles 14 to 22 EUDPR. |
|
(8) |
Data controllers should apply restrictions only when the latter respect the essence of fundamental rights and freedoms, are strictly necessary and are a proportionate measure in a democratic society. |
|
(9) |
Data controllers should give reasons explaining the justification for those restrictions and should keep a record of their application of restrictions to data subjects’ rights. |
|
(10) |
Data controllers should lift a restriction as soon as the conditions that justified the restriction no longer apply. They should regularly assess those conditions. |
|
(11) |
To guarantee the utmost protection of data subjects’ rights and freedoms, the DPO should be consulted in due time on any restrictions that may be applied and should verify their compliance with this Decision. |
|
(12) |
Unless restrictions are provided for in a legal act adopted on the basis of the Treaties (5), it is necessary to adopt internal rules under which data controllers are entitled to restrict data subjects’ rights. |
|
(13) |
This Decision should not apply in cases where one of the exceptions laid down in Articles 15(4) and 16(5) EUDPR in respect of the information to be provided to a data subject, applies, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

At the end of the retention period, the personal data shall be, as the case may be, deleted, rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject concerned is not or is no longer identifiable, or transferred to the Committee’s archives in accordance with Article 13 EUDPR.
Article 7
Information to data subjects on the restriction of their rights
1. The data protection notices published on the Committee’s public website and on its intranet shall include a section providing data subjects with general information about the potential restriction of their rights in the context of the Committee’s activities and procedures involving the processing of their personal data.

(e) |
Their right to seek a judicial remedy before the Court of Justice. |
3. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, where data controllers restrict, in exceptional cases, the application of Article 35 EUDPR (Communication of a personal data breach to the data subject), they shall communicate the personal data breach to the data subject concerned and provide the information referred to in paragraph 2, points (b), (d) and (e), as soon as the reasons for restricting such communication no longer exist.
4. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, where data controllers restrict, in exceptional cases, the application of Article 36 EUDPR (Confidentiality of electronic communications), they shall provide the information referred to in paragraph 2 in their reply to any request from the data subject concerned.

Data controllers may defer, omit or deny the provision of the information referred to in paragraph 2 ("deferral, omission or denial of information") for as long as it would cancel the effect of the restriction. They shall provide the data subject concerned with the information referred to in paragraph 2 as soon as doing so would no longer render the restriction ineffective.

Data controllers shall, without undue delay, inform the DPO in writing whenever they restrict the rights of a data subject pursuant to Article 3(1), perform the periodical reviews referred to in Article 3(5), lift restrictions as provided for in Article 3(6), or defer, omit or deny the provision of the information referred to in Article 7(2) pursuant to Article 7(5). Upon request, the DPO shall be given access to the associated records and any documents containing underlying factual and legal elements.
