The European Union Aviation Safety Agency, or EASA, is the agency of the European Union responsible for civil aviation safety. It was set up by an EU regulation to create a single set of safety rules for the member states, replacing the system in which each country relied on its own authority or on the Joint Aviation Authorities, and it is based in Cologne, Germany. It certifies aircraft and engines designed in Europe and approves foreign designs for use there, regulates air operators and maintenance organisations, and assists in accident prevention. Its decisions drew wide attention in 2019, when it took part in the global grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX and later set its own conditions for the aircraft to return to service.
