EASA aviation regulations define the "competent authority" for initial airworthiness and environmental protection. The Agency (EASA) oversees design and certain production organizations. Member States' authorities oversee production within their territories. Aircraft registration dictates authority for specific sections, while EASA handles flight condition approvals related to design safety.
