Facilitation Working Group
The Facilitation Working Group is composed of members and observers from all civil aviation sectors, including persons with reduced mobility (PRM), customs, immigration, cargo, and public health specialists. A close relationship is maintained with the European Commission, which has a particular shared interest in view of collective competency in matters such as customs and persons with reduced mobility.
The group considers amendments to Doc 30, Part I and its Annexes, as well as other topics of mutual interest to ECAC Member States. It is supported in this work by informal study groups and two sub-groups, addressing immigration and PRM matters. There are also two points of contact, in charge of health and cargo issues.
Health and cargo (customs) issues
On these two specific topics, the Facilitation Working Group receives regular updates from its respective focal points in order to monitor international developments and decide on specific ad hoc activities, such as workshops and European contributions to ICAO events.
