This group relates to changes to Schedules 1 and 3 of the Bill. Section 41 of the Bill provides that the proposed AirNav Ireland may charge for the functions performed by it pursuant to the 21 EU regulations listed in Schedule 1. Amendment No. 8 provides that the Minister may, by order, add or delete from the list of EU regulations in Schedule 1. This amendment means that our legislation can respond to changes at a European level as they may apply to AirNav Ireland over time. Amendments Nos. 19 and 20 update the referencing of the 21 EU regulations referenced in Schedule 1 since the Bill was originally published in December 2020. Amendment No. 23 brings the referencing of the 27 EU regulations in Schedule 3 up to date, since the Bill was originally published in December 2020. The amendments also add six EU regulations to those currently listed in Schedule 3, clarifying the IAA's existing responsibility as the national competent authority for these roles.
