European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is one of the key governing entities, which regulates the commercial drone laws and regulation across all the states in the European Union. The regulations for flying commercial drones across the region is highly fragmented with different regulations in each country.
However, the EASA is likely to make necessary modifications to design unified drone regulations for all the members of EU. EASA is expected to develop a unified framework, at the same time maintaining flexibility for each member state. To support these efforts from EASA and other country level regulatory bodies, government and industry stakeholders are collaborating to identify common concerns, and opportunities around the proliferation of commercial drones.
One such partnership occurred during the annual Robotic Skies workshop held at Oxford, UK. This partnership covered the role of public policy and private industry in the drone industry. The panels in the event, comprising many industry experts and former key members of FAA, addressed EASA recommendations.
