15.11.2008 Official Journal of the European Union L 30647 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1131/2008 of 14 November 2008 amending Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 establishing the Community list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Community (Text with EEA relevance) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and the Council of 14 December 2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community and on informing air transport passengers of the identity of the operating air carrier, and repealing Article 9 of Directive 2004/36/EC ('), and in particular Article 4 thereof, Whereas: Commission Regulation (EC) No 4742006 of 22 March 2006 established the Community list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Community referred to in Chapter I of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 (). In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, some Member States communicated to the Commission information that is relevant in the context of updating the Community list. Relevant information was also communicated by third countries. On this basis, the Community list should be updated. The Commission informed all air carriers concerned either directly or, when this was not practicable, through the authorities responsible for their regulatory oversight, indicating the essential facts and considerations which would form the basis for a decision to impose on them an operating ban within the Community or to modify the conditions of an operating ban imposed on an air carrier which is included in the Community list.

S Opportunity was given by the Commission to the air carriers concerned to consult the documents provided by Member States, to submit written comments and to make an oral presentation to the Commission within 10 working days and to the Air Safety Committee estab- lished by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonization of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation (3). The authorities with responsibility for regulatory oversight over the air carriers concerned have been consulted by the Commission as well as, in specific cases, by some Member States. Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly. Community carriers Following information resulting from SAFA ramp checks carried out on aircraft of certain Community air carriers, as well as area specific inspections and audits carried out by their national aviation authorities, the following carriers have been subject to enforcement measures by their national authorities with responsibility for oversight: the competent authorities of Germany having been satisfied by corrective measures implemented by the carrier MSR Flug Charter GmbH decided nevertheless to suspend on 31 October 2008 its operating license after this carrier filed for bankruptcy and the potentially ensuing difficulties to respect safety requirements; the competent authorities of Portugal suspended on 10 October 2008 the AOC of the carrier Luzair, pending its recertification in full compliance with the applicable Community rules; the competent authorities of Spain initiated on 28 October 2008 the procedure for suspension of the AOC of the carrier Bravo Airlines; the competent authorities of Greece suspended on 24 October 2008 for three months the AOC of the carrier Hellenic Imperial Airways. The latter requested to make presentations to the Air Safety Committee and did so on 3 November 2008. () O] L 373, 31.12.1991, p. 4.
