Drones: reform of EU aviation safety
The Eu parliament has adopted a proposal to create a eu-wide set of rules for drones combining privacy and safety.
Drones are taking off in the eu: they are used to take pictures, check infrastructures safety, help optimizing farming and disaster relief, deliver parcels and even pollinate our crops. By 2035, drones could generate 100,000 jobs and 10 billion euros per year to the economy.
On June 2018, the Council adopted updated aviation safety rules, which include a revised mandate for the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the first ever EU-wide rules for civil drones of all sizes. The reform introduces proportionate and risk-based rules designed to enable the EU aviation sector to grow, make it more competitive and encourage innovation. A provisional deal was concluded with the European Parliament on 29 November 2017.
“These rules will ensure that flying remains safe even when our skies become increasingly busy”, said Ivaylo Moskovski, Bulgarian Minister for Transport, Information Technology and Communications.
The rules on drones lay down the basic principles to ensure safety, security, privacy, data protection and environmental protection. The text establishes the registration threshold for drone operators: operators must be registered if their drones are capable of transferring more than 80 Joules of kinetic energy upon impact with a person. The other detailed rules on drones will be set by the Commission with help from EASA, on the basis of the principles outlined in this regulation.
