L 182/4 Official Journal of the European Union 15.7.2009 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 619/2009 of 13 July 2009 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 21112005 of the European Parliament and of 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 (1), and in particular Article 4 thereof, Whereas: (") ) Commission Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 of 22 March 2006 establishing the Community list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Community referred to in Chapter II of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). In accordance with Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 21112005, 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. 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 344, 27.12.2005, p. 15. oJ L 0] L 84, 23.3.2006, p. 14. 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, some Member States have taken certain enforcement measures. They informed the Commission and the Air Safety Committee about these measures: the competent auth- orities of Greece informed that the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) of the carrier EuroAir Ltd had been withdrawn on 8 May 2009; the competent authorities of Sweden informed that they had withdrawn on 23 January 2009 the AOC of the carrier of Nordic Airways AB (Regional’) and on 31 March 2009 that of the carrier Fly Excellence AB. One Two Go Airlines and Orient Thai Airlines One Two Go Airlines On 8 April 2009, the competent authorities of Thailand (the Thai Department of Civil Aviation — Thai DCA) informed the Commission that they have revoked the AOC of the carrier One Two Go. Although One Two Go had filed appeal against the revocation order, the Thai DCA has re-affirmed such order on 4 May 2009. Therefore, taking into account that the operator has lost its AOC, and that as a consequence its operating licence cannot be considered as valid, on the basis of the common criteria, it is assessed that the One Two Go is no longer an ‘air carrier’ as defined by Article 2 of Regu- lation (EC) No 2111/2005, and should therefore be removed from Annex A.
