Safety: convergence and European cooperation
Updated: 3 January 2026. Objective: accelerate projects without lowering requirements, by strengthening cooperation, transparency and peer reviews.
Objective
Make processes more predictable: clear requirements, milestones, and structured cooperation between authorities.
- Peer reviews
- Sharing of inspections and feedback
- Transparency on incidents and corrective actions
Proposed measures
- EU library of standards and guidelines.
- Mutual recognition framework (with a defined scope).
- Structured data sharing on operating experience.
What we avoid
- Opaque "fast track" without oversight.
- Unnecessary duplication between Member States.
- Mid-course changes to the rules.
Advocacy message
"Accelerate" must not mean "simplify blindly": we need better cooperation, better sharing and better standardisation.
