Currently more than 190 countries are members, and aviation rules in each of these follow ICAO standards and recommended practices. ICAO has developed or is developing standards, policies and guidance around the following environmentally- related issues: International Civil aircraft noise Aviation aircraft engine emissions Organization operating procedures organisation of air traffic movements (ICAO) airport land use planning use of market-based measures to tackle CO2 emissions. 5 ICAO objective - Work on developing the principles and technical rules related to international air navigation and supporting the planning and development of international air transport, in order to:- - Ensure the sure and orderly development of civil aviation throughout the world. - Encourage the design of aircraft and their peaceful exploitation. - Encourage the development of air routes, airports and air navigation facilities. - Provide air transport that is characterized by safety and security as well as regularity, efficiency and economy. - Avoid all discrimination between countries. - Prevent economic losses resulting from unreasonable competition. 6 Arab Civil Aviation Organization (ACAO) 7  o The Arab Civil Aviation Organization is a specialized Arab organization affiliated to the Arab League which aims to strengthen cooperation and coordination among Arab countries in the field of civil aviation and its development. It was established on February 7, 1996, when its Agreement came into force, and its first General Assembly was held on the 5th June. 1996. 22 States have ratified the Convention. The organization ´ s goals The objectives and goals of the Organization are to provide the civil aviation authorities of the Member States with a framework for joint action to: Arab Civil Aviation · Implement a general plan for civil aviation among Arab Organization countries in order to develop and secure its safety. · To promote the necessary cooperation and coordination (ACAO) among Member States in the field of civil aviation and to lay the foundations for this in a uniform approach. · To develop and advance Arab civil aviation in a manner that responds to the needs of the Arab nation for a safe, secure and orderly air transport. 8  TheAuthority shall perform all the tasks necessary to implement its purposes and objectives, in particular the following: Conducting research and preparing studies, as necessary, on the economic, regulatory, legal, technical and security aspects related to civil aviation among member states. Coordinating the positions of member states on matters of common interest and common concern in the field of aviation. Encouraging and supporting integration between Arab air transport institutions. Encouraging and supporting the aviation industry in general and promoting its use in member states. Monitoring changes, including technical changes, in civil aviation and restricting the requirements of member states to respond to important challenges. 9  Encouraging coordination and compatibility between civil aviation legislation and procedures in member states and working to unify such legislation and procedures. Encouraging the application of standard rules and recommended working methods in the annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Strengthening arrangements between member states whenever this contributes to the implementation of regional plans issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization regarding air navigation equipment and services. Facilitating the exchange of information related to aviation safety and promoting security awareness among member states. Coordination regarding training and education programs, encouraging the development of programs to develop training institutes and making them responsive to the current and future needs of workers in the field of civil aviation. Studying any situation that may hinder the progress of air transport and air navigation in Arab countries, upon the request of any member state, and recommending what it deems appropriate 10  AFCAC was created by the Constitutive Conference convened by ICAO and the Organization of African Unity (OAU) now the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in 1964. It was fully established and began functioning in 1969 and on 11 May, 1978 became an OAU Specialized Agency in the African Civil Aviation field of Civil Aviation. Commission From inception, AFCAC was technically, (AFCAC) administratively and financially managed by ICAO through African member States 'contributions. AFCAC became autonomous from ICAO Management on 1 January, 2007 11 The Vision of AFCAC is to foster a safe, secure, efficient, cost effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly civil aviation industry in Africa. The Mission is to facilitate cooperation and coordination among African States towards the development of integrated and sustainable air transport systems. Its Core Values are: Good governance and best practices Transparency and accountability Professionalism, integrity, safe and just culture 12  Responsibilities of AFCAC Coordinating civil aviation matters in Africa and cooperating with ICAO and all other relevant organizations and other bodies Facilitating, coordinating and ensuring the successful implementation of the Yamoussoukro Decision (YD) Promoting understanding on policy matters between its member States and States in other parts of the world. Fostering the implementation of ICAO SARP Formulating and enforcing appropriate rules and regulations which promote fair competition. Ensuring adherence to and implementation of Decisions of the Plenary, Bureau and the assembly; and Reviewing any specific problems which may hinder the development and operations of the African civil aviation industry. 13  Established in 1955 ECAC promotes the continued development of a safe, efficient and sustainable European air transport system. In doing so, it seeks to: harmonise civil aviation policies and practices amongst its Member States; and promote understanding on policy matters between its European Civil Member States and other parts of the world Aviation Conference (via for example preparation of European (ECAC) positions for ICAO Assembly). Strategic priorities: safety, security, and the environment 14 The responsibilities of the agency include: Analysis and research of safety parameters, Authorizing foreign operators, Advising the European Commission on the drafting of EU legislation. Implements and monitors safety rules (including inspections in the member states), gives type certification of aircraft and components, and approves organizations involved in the design, manufacture and maintenance of aeronautical products. As part of Single European Sky II (SES-II), an initiative to standardize and coordinate all air traffic control over the EU, the agency has been given additional tasks which were implemented before 2013Since 4 December 2012, EASA is able to certify functional airspace blocks if more than three parties are involved. The EU commission is proposing to further expand EASA mandate to act the European Performance Review Board, with a clear separation of National Supervisory Agencies and Air Navigation Service Providers. 15  The civil aviation organization of Latin American States was founded on 14 December 1973 (came into force on 21 October 1975, upon approval by 12 States situated in the area) during a meeting held in Mexico City and is formally called Comisión Latinoamericana de Aviación Civil (CLAC). The primary objective of this Commission is to provide the civil aviation authorities of the Member States with a suitable framework within which to discuss and plan all the necessary measures for co-operation and co-ordination of civil aviation activities. It was created mainly to solve economic rather than Latin America Civil technical problems, since the safety of air navigation at the regional planning level is the responsibility of ICAO and its Aviation Regional Offices. LACAC has played an important role in coordinating and (LACAC) establishing policies and common approaches covering a wide range of subjects pertaining to the development of civil aviation among Member States. LACAC maintains close relations with ICAO in order to ensure the harmonization and co-ordination of its activities with the objectives and plans of ICAO. 16  International Air Transport Association (IATA) African Arab Air The Latin America Airlines Carrier Association Air Transport Association Organization of Asia Pacific (LAATA) (AFRAA) (AACO) Airlines 17 International Air Transport Association (IATA) 18  It was established in 1945 and has two main centers and nine regional centers, one of which is in Amman, International Air Jordan, in addition to several other Transport offices.
