ATM/ANS.OR.A.040 Changes — general

CHANGE OF THE OWNERSHIP AND/OR THE LOCATION A change of the service provider’s ownership and/or the location of its facilities should comply with ATM/ANS.OR.A.040(a)(2) and should not be subject to the procedure identified in ATM/ANS.AR.C.025(c).

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGES REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL For changes requiring prior approval, a procedure should define how the service provider should notify the competent authority and obtain an approval issued by that authority:

(a)Notifications should be submitted before any such change is made in order to enable the competent authority to determine continued compliance with Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 and its implementing rules and also to amend, if necessary, the certificate and the related conditions attached to it.

(b)Changes should only be implemented upon receipt of approval by the competent authority in accordance with the procedure established by that authority.

(c)The service provider should operate under the conditions prescribed by the competent authority during such changes, as applicable.

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGES NOT REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL

(a)For changes not requiring prior approval, the procedure should define how the service provider should notify and manage the change.

(b)The service provider should inform the competent authority of any changes to nominated persons specified in ATM/ANS.OR.B.020(b) and ATS.OR.200(1)(iii), as applicable.

PROCEDURE FOR CHANGES NOT REQUIRING PRIOR APPROVAL The procedure agreed by the service provider and the competent authority may also include the process for the reaction by the service provider to an unplanned change that may arise with the need for urgent action that would normally require prior approval of the competent authority. This is the case in which the service provider responds immediately to a safety problem as required in ATM/ANS.OR.A.060 or when an emergency situation arises in which the service provider has to take immediate action to ensure the safety of the services.
