Regional Cooperation for the Enhancement of
Safety Oversight.

• Benefits of regional cooperation
• Shortage of qualified experts in pacific Island
  states
• Regional Organizations such as PASO allows for
  the pooling of resources and the reduction of
  costs. These advantages are most evident in the
  area of safety oversight, aviation security and
  other areas including ATS.

Regional Cooperation for the Enhancement of
Safety Oversight.

• Cost Effective Solution
• Nations which currently do not meet their
  international obligations are not spending enough
  on regulatory systems
• They can ramp up and establish their own CAA and
  infrastructure at great cost
• PASO does the same for less and be cost effective
  across all the member Nations

• Rules Standardisation within PASO member states
• PASO states adopted the NZ rule system as the
  standard for its membership. Many of the PASO
  countries have already adopted these rules under
  their legislation which is modeled under the NZ
  Civil Aviation Act.
• Harmonisation as agreed by Civil Aviation
  Ministers in 1998 and endorsed by Pacific Island
  Leaders is nearing completion with one state left
  to complete it harmonisation process.

• Conclusion
• The Regional Organisations like PASO are already
  operational providing much needed advice and
  assistance to states.
• Growing trend towards relying more and more on
  regional bodies.
• Civil aviation activities at regional and
  sub-regional levels and regional cooperation have
  lead to the creation of organisations like PASO.
• We see the trend increasing and more and more
  regions and sub regions will set up regional
  bodies like PASO with increasing responsibility.
