GM1 21L.B.12 Exchange of information ED Decision 2023/013/R COORDINATION WITH OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES The purpose of coordination with other related activities is to: (a)     harmonise the effects of various approval and certification/oversight teams, especially when dealing with one organisation/applicant/declarant to prevent conflicts of conclusions; (b)     ensure efficient flow of information among the various approval and certification/oversight teams to facilitate the execution of their duties; (c)      optimise the use of EASA’s and the competent authorities’ resources to minimise disruption and cost. Therefore, for a given organisation/applicant/declarant, the responsible Agency teams or staff or the competent authorities of a Member State should arrange for exchange of information with, and provide necessary assistance, as appropriate, to, the relevant competent authority of a Member State or EASA teams or staff — e.g.: (a)     the appropriate certification/oversight teams; (b)     the design organisation oversight team; (c)      the production organisation oversight team; (d)     the maintenance organisation approval team; or (e)     other approval or certification/oversight teams as appropriate. This is considered vital for activities related to the critical design review / safety review prior to issuing the flight conditions for a permit to fly and also for the activities relating to the first-article inspection. ##### GM1 21L.B.12 Exchange of information *ED Decision 2023/013/R* **COORDINATION WITH OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES** The purpose of coordination with other related activities is to: (a) harmonise the effects of various approval and certification/oversight teams, especially when dealing with one organisation/applicant/declarant to prevent conflicts of conclusions; (b) ensure efficient flow of information among the various approval and certification/oversight teams to facilitate the execution of their duties; (c) optimise the use of EASA’s and the competent authorities’ resources to minimise disruption and cost.
