Ladies and Getlemen,
The year 2013 is behind us. For the Civil Aviation Authority of the Republic of Poland it was a special year - a year full of activities of the CAA in the national and international grounds. It can also be called a watershed year which resulted in the first ever selection of Polish Representative to the Council of ICAO. Poland thus took over the presidency of the Central European Rotation Group for three-year cadency. CAA's involvement in the development of global civil aviation has been increasing. In 2013, at the initiative of the CAA in Warsaw has been organized for the first time in Poland workshop on "Just Culture" and the training co-organized by the ECAC and IATA on IOSA and ISAGO Safety Audit Programs, which were attended by international experts and representatives of airports and international aviation organizations. Furthermore an important event was an international conference in the field of air and space law in Gdansk, in which took part the experts from international organizations and agencies: ICAO, ECAC, IATA, EASA and EUROCONTROL. 2013 was also the year of successes of Polish sportsmen who have won the great number of medals.
Entrance in the New Year is a time to summarize, therefore, we present the most important activities of the CAA and events in the field of civil aviation in the past year. New year means new challenges which will face the aviation industry, as well as the Civil Aviation Authority. Last year has shown that with the appropriate commitment these challenges can be faced which allows us to be optimistic about the future. By working together, we can be assured that the aviation industry will continue to develop. I wish all our clients and supporters of the aviation industry a Happy New Year.
