• Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 found in: Occurrence Reporting (376/2014) (Dec 2022)

Article 13 — Occurrence analysis and follow-up at national level Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 1. Each organisation established in a Member State shall develop a process to analyse occurrences collected in accordance with [Articles 4](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820737)(2) and [5](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820741)(1) in order to identify the safety hazards associated with identified occurrences or groups of occurrences. Based on that analysis, each organisation shall determine any appropriate corrective or preventive action, required to improve aviation safety. 2. When, following the analysis referred to in paragraph 1, an organisation established in a Member State identifies any appropriate corrective or preventive action required to address actual or potential aviation safety deficiencies, it shall: (a) implement that action in a timely manner; and (b) establish a process to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the action. 3. Each organisation established in a Member State shall regularly provide its employees and contracted personnel with information concerning the analysis of, and follow-up on, occurrences for which preventive or corrective action is taken. 4. Where an organisation established in a Member State which is not covered by paragraph 5 identifies an actual or potential aviation safety risk as a result of its analysis of occurrences or group of occurrences reported pursuant to [Articles 4](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820737)(8) and [5](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820741)(6), it shall transmit to the competent authority of that Member State, within 30 days from the date of notification of the occurrence by the reporter: (a) the preliminary results of the analysis performed pursuant to paragraph 1, if any; and (b) any action to be taken pursuant to paragraph 2. The organisation shall report the final results of the analysis, where required, as soon as they are available and, in principle, no later than three months from the date of notification of the occurrence. A competent authority of a Member State may request organisations to transmit to it the preliminary or final results of the analysis of any occurrence of which it has been notified but in relation to which it has received no follow-up or only the preliminary results. 5. Where an organisation established in a Member State and certified or approved by the Agency identifies an actual or potential aviation safety risk as a result of its analysis of occurrences or group of occurrences reported pursuant to [Articles 4](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820737)(9) and [5](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820741)(5), it shall transmit to the Agency, within 30 days from the date of notification of the occurrence by the reporter: (a) the preliminary results of the analysis performed pursuant to paragraph 1, if any; and (b) any action to be taken pursuant to paragraph 2. The organisation certified or approved by the Agency shall transmit to the Agency the final results of the analysis, where required, as soon as they are available and, in principle, no later than three months from the date of notification of the occurrence. The Agency may request organisations to transmit to it the preliminary or final results of the analysis of any occurrence of which it has been notified but in relation to which it has received no follow-up or only the preliminary results. 6. Each Member State and the Agency shall develop a process to analyse the information relating to occurrences which are directly reported to them in accordance with [Articles 4](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820737)(6), [5](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820741)(2) and [5](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820741)(3) in order to identify the safety hazards associated with those occurrences. Based on that analysis, they shall determine any appropriate corrective or preventive action required to improve aviation safety. 7. When, following the analysis referred to in paragraph 6, a Member State or the Agency identifies any appropriate corrective or preventive action required to address actual or potential aviation safety deficiencies, it shall: (a) implement that action in a timely manner; and (b) establish a process to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of the action. 8. For each occurrence or group of occurrences monitored in accordance with paragraph 4 or 5, each Member State and the Agency shall have access to the analysis made and shall appropriately monitor action taken by the organisations for which it is respectively responsible. If a Member State or the Agency concludes that the implementation and the effectiveness of the reported action is inappropriate to address actual or potential safety deficiencies, it shall ensure that additional appropriate action is taken and implemented by the relevant organisation. 9. Where available, information relating to the analysis and the follow-up of individual occurrences or groups of occurrences obtained pursuant to this Article shall be stored in the European Central Repository, in accordance with [Article 8](#_DxCrossRefBm2103820743)(2) and (3), in a timely manner and no later than two months after their storage in the national database. 10. Member States shall use information obtained from the analysis of occurrence reports to identify remedial action to be taken, if any, within the State Safety Programme. 11. In order to inform the public of the level of safety in civil aviation, each Member State shall publish a safety review at least once a year. The safety review shall: (a) contain aggregated and anonymised information on the type of occurrences and safety‑related information reported through its national mandatory and voluntary reporting systems; (b) identify trends; (c) identify the action it has taken. 12. Member States may also publish anonymised occurrence reports and risk analysis outcomes.
