The committee's c
oncern was that the Aviation Safety Agency's general political independence, for the issues involved are exclusively of a technical nature, in which decisions are to be taken by author
itative experts and specialists rather than by politicians in Parliament or the Council. It was also important to guarantee the Agency's autonomy, meaning that the Executive Director really is the head of the authority and, at the same time, that the Management Board is in a position to lay down appropriate guideline
...[+++]s for the Agency and influence the way in which it works.
Il était important pour la commission de garantir une large indépendance de l’Agence. Indépendance, d’un côté, vis à vis de la politique, car il s’agit exclusivement de questions techniques, pour lesquelles c’est à des techniciens et des spécialistes de prendre des décisions, et non pas à des hommes politiques, qu’il s’agisse du Parlement ou du Conseil.
