18.3.2015 Official Journal of the European Union L 741 II (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 201 5/445 of 17 March 2015 amending Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 as regards technical requirements and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC ('), and in particular Articles 7(6) and 8(5), Whereas: (1)  Commission Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 (%) lays down the technical and administrative procedures related to civil aviation aircrew. (2)  Some Member States have found that certain requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 place an undue and disproportionate administrative or economic burden on themselves or on stakeholders and have notified their intention to grant approval for derogations from certain requirements in accordance with Article 14(6) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. (3)  Those proposed approvals for derogations have been analysed by the European Aviation Safety Agency, which has resulted in a recommendation to the Commission on the compliance of the proposed approvals with the applicable conditions. (4)  Member States and general aviation stakeholders have also identified certain requirements which are considered disproportionate to the activities involved and the associated risks. (50 A number of editorial errors leading to unintended implementation difficulties have also been identified in Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011. (6)  Therefore, the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 should be amended in order to introduce the derogations that have a clear rulemaking effect, to introduce certain alleviations for general aviation and to correct certain editorial errors. (7)  In addition, on the basis of feedback from Member States and stakeholders it has been found that the requirements of Annex VII of Regulation (EU) No 1178/2011 may be disproportionate to the activity and associated risk of training organisations providing training only for the light aircraft pilot licence, private pilot licence, balloon pilot licence and sailplane pilot licence.
