1. The position to be taken on behalf of the Union at the 237th session of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization, or at any subsequent session, shall be to support the proposed Amendment 20 to Annex 13 – Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation – to the Chicago Convention (‘Amendment 20’).
2. The position to be taken on behalf of the Union, provided that the ICAO Council adopts without any substantial change Amendment 20, shall be to not register any disapproval and to notify compliance with the adopted Amendment 20 in reply to the relevant ICAO State Letter.
In the event that Union legislation differs from the standards set out in Annex 13 to the Chicago Convention after the envisaged date of application of those standards, necessitating the notification to the ICAO of a difference from those particular standards, in accordance with Article 38 of the Chicago Convention, the Commission shall, in due time and at least two months before any deadline set by the ICAO for the notification of differences, submit to the Council, for discussion and approval, a preparatory document setting out the position of the Union on the detailed differences to be notified to the ICAO on behalf of the Union by the Member States.
