GM1   21 . A.3A   Reporting system 
 ED Decision 2022/021/R 
 LINK BETWEEN  POINT 21.A.3A AND REGULATION (EU) No 376/2014 
 Regulation (EU)No376/2014  of the European Parliament and of the Council  lays down  requirements on the reporting, analysis and follow-up of occurrences in civil aviation. Compliance with point 21.A.3A   of Part21  does not exempt organisations from compliance with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014. For each category of reporter,  Regulation (EU)2015/1018  defines the nature of items to be mandatorily reported.  Regulation EU)No376/2014   also considers voluntary reporting of other items that are perceived by the reporter as a threat to aviation safety. 
 Point 21.A.3A   lays down  requirements for the mandatory reporting of events to the competent authority, in view of performing the necessary activities linked to the continued airworthiness of aircraft, parts ,  and appliances. 
 For Part 21  design organisations ( DOs )   and  production organisations ( POs ) , the reportability criteria (i.e.  a  potential unsafe condition) are the same as  the ones laid down by  Regulation (EU)No376/2014 . 
 Furthermore, compliance with Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 does not exempt organisations from compliance with point 21.A.3A . However, this should not give rise to two parallel reporting systems, and point 21.A.3A  and Regulation (EU) No 376/2014 should be seen as complementary  in that respect . 
 In practice, this means that reporting obligations under point 21.A.3A  on one hand and reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) No376/2014 on the other hand are compatible. These reporting obligations may be discharged using one reporting channel. 
 In addition, any natural or legal person that has more than one role subject to the obligation to report may discharge all those obligations through a single report. Organisations are encouraged to properly describe this in their organisation manual, to address cases in which the responsibilities are  discharged  on behalf of the organisation.
