De réir na cuairte mheasúnaithe, is léir gur cé go bhfuil láidreachtaí á léiriú ag AAK, tá laigí fós ann, amhail neamh-chomhlíonadh oibleagáidí AAK le linn phróisis deimhniúcháin na n-aeriompróirí.
From the assessment visit, it is clear that while AAK shows strengths, there are still weaknesses, such as a non-compliance with AAK’s obligations during the certification processes of the air carriers.

Thacaigh AAK le cur chuige an ghearánaigh.
AAK expressed its support of the complainant’s approach.
D’iarr AAK ar an gCoimisiún aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia ó raon táirgí an imscrúdaithe.
AAK requested the Commission to exclude food grade oleic acid from the product scope of the investigation.
Is táirgeoir d’aigéad pailmíteach san Aontas é AAK.
AAK is a producer of palmitic acid in the Union.
Chuir an t-aeriompróir faisnéis ar fáil freisin faoi na gníomhaíochtaí maoirseachta a rinne AAK ar Air Astana in 2021-2022, agus dheimhnigh sé feabhsuithe ar a idirghníomhú le CAC KZ agus AAK, arna iarraidh sin do Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais Eorpaigh,
When queried by the EU Air Safety Committee, the air carrier also debriefed on the oversight activities that AAK has performed on Air Astana in 2021-2022, and confirmed improvements in its interaction with the CAC KZ and AAK.
Tionóladh éisteachtaí le táirgeoir bithdhíosail, Campa Iberia SAU (“Campa”) agus a chuideachta chomhlachaithe, IM Biofuel Italy S.r.l. (“Imbi”), (dá ngairtear “Campa/Imbi” le chéile), agus táirgeoir sampláilte de chuid an Aontais, AAK AB (“AAK”).
Hearings were held with a biodiesel producer, Campa Iberia SAU (‘Campa’) and its related company, IM Biofuel Italy S.r.l. (‘IMBI’), (collectively called ‘Campa/IMBI’), and a sampled Union producer, AAK AB (‘AAK’).
Dúirt AAK, maidir le praghsanna méadaithe allmhairí féideartha d’aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia ón Indinéis, go dtiocfadh méadú, dá réir sin, ar phraghsanna úsáideoirí an Aontais i ngach catagóir d’aigéad oiléach, ón Malaeisia chomh maith, rud a dhéanfadh dochar do ghníomhaíocht AAK.
AAK stated that the increased prices of potential food grade oleic acid imports from Indonesia would as a result increase Union users’ prices for all categories of oleic acid also from Malaysia, which would negatively affect the activity of AAK.
Díríodh sa chuairt mheasúnaithe ar ghníomhaíochtaí AAK mar gheall ar an ról tábhachtach atá aige agus an fhreagracht atá air maidir le gníomhaíochtaí faireacháin ar na haeriompróirí atá deimhnithe sa Chasacstáin.
The assessment visit focused its activities on AAK in view of the latter’s predominant role and responsibility for the oversight activities of the air carriers certified in Kazakhstan.
Mar sin féin, ghlac ionadaithe ó CAC KZ páirt sna gníomhaíochtaí measúnaithe uile toisc go bhfuil roinnt gníomhaíochtaí beartais, amhail glacadh nós imeachta AAK, laistigh dá sainchúram.
Representatives from CAC KZ did, however, participate in all the assessment activities as a number of policy activities, such as the adoption of AAK procedures, are in their remit.
Tá eolas maith ag an bhfoireann aeracmhainneachta ar na nósanna imeachta atá i bhfeidhm laistigh de AAK.
The airworthiness staff has a good knowledge of the procedures in force within AAK.
An 2 Feabhra 2022, chuir AAK plean gníomhaíochta ceartaithí faoi bhráid an Choimisiúin chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar na heasnaimh a chonacthas agus a thuairiscigh an fhoireann measúnaithe.
On 2 February 2022, AAK submitted to the Commission a CAP to address the shortcomings observed and reported by the assessment team.
I gcomhar leis an nGníomhaireacht, rinne an Coimisiún measúnú ar an bplean gníomhaíochta ceartaithí, agus chuir siad barúlacha agus moltaí maidir le coigeartú ar fáil do CAC KZ agus AAK.
The Commission, together with the Agency, assessed the CAP, and provided CAC KZ and AAK with comments and adjustment suggestions.
An 27 agus an 28 Aibreán 2022, thionóil an Coimisiún, an Ghníomhaireacht, na Ballstáit agus ionadaithe CAC KZ agus AAK cruinniú teicniúil.
On 27 and 28 April 2022, the Commission, the Agency, Member States and representatives of the CAC KZ and AAK held a technical meeting.
Léiríodh sa chruinniú nach mór do CAC KZ agus AAK tuilleadh soiléirithe agus fianaise a thabhairt don Choimisiún maidir le gníomhaíochtaí agus bearta áirithe a glacadh.
The meeting showed that the CAC KZ and AAK still need to provide the Commission with further clarifications and evidence regarding certain actions and measures taken.
De réir na fianaise, tá na bearta a rinne CAC KZ agus AAK ag cur lena gcumas maoirseacht a dhéanamh ar ghníomhaíochtaí eitlíochta sa Chasacstáin cheana féin.
Evidence indicates that the measures undertaken by CAC KZ and AAK already contribute to strengthening their capabilities to oversee the aviation activities in Kazakhstan.
An 20 Deireadh Fómhair 2022, thionóil an Coimisiún, an Ghníomhaireacht, na Ballstáit agus ionadaithe Choiste Eitlíochta Sibhialta na Casacstáine (“CAC KZ”) agus Riarachán Eitlíochta Chuideachta Comhstoic na Casacstáine (“AAK”) cruinniú teicniúil.
On 20 October 2022, the Commission, the Agency, Member States and representatives of the Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan (‘CAC KZ’) and the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (‘AAK’) held a technical meeting.
Chuir AAK eolas ar fáil freisin maidir leis na bearta a rinneadh chun reachtaíocht thánaisteach eitlíochta a fhorbairt, rud nach féidir a ghlacadh go dtí go mbeidh an Dlí Eitlíochta Príomhúil glactha.
The AAK also informed about the actions taken to develop secondary aviation legislation, which can only be adopted after the Primary Aviation Law has been adopted.
Tharla éisteachtaí maidir leis an nochtadh deiridh le Musim Mas group, Wilmar, Ecogreen, Unilever, Greven Group, Schill + Seilacher Group agus AAK.
Hearings on final disclosure took place with Musim Mas group, Wilmar, Ecogreen, Unilever, Greven group, Schill + Seilacher group and AAK.
D’iarr AAK eisiamh ola aigéid pailme ó raon feidhme an imscrúdaithe nuair a rinneadh tagairt do chód AC 38231990.
AAK requested the exclusion of palm acid oil from the scope of the investigation when reference to CN code 38231990 was made.
Mhaígh AAK, cé go raibh aigéad oiléach cumhdaithe faoin imscrúdú, gurbh fhéidir dhá chineál aigéad oiléach a shonrú: aigéad oiléach de ghrád tionsclaíoch agus aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia.
AAK claimed that while oleic acid was covered by the investigation, two types of oleic acid could be distinguished: industrial grade oleic acid and food grade oleic acid.
Dúirt AAK nach raibh ann ach allmhairí imeallacha d’aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia ón Indinéis agus, dá bhrí sin, nárbh fhéidir leo díobháil a dhéanamh do thionscal an Aontais.
AAK stated that there were only marginal imports of food grade oleic acid from Indonesia and therefore they could not cause injury to the Union industry.
Dúirt AAK gur dócha gurbh é an t-aon allmhaireoir de mhéideanna suntasacha aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia ó thíortha eile san Aontas.
AAK stated that it was probably the only Union importer of any significant volumes of food grade oleic acid from other countries.
Sna barúlacha ó AAK tar éis an nochta deiridh, d’athdhearbhaigh sé a iarraidh chun aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia a eisiamh ó raon táirge an imscrúdaithe.
In its comments following final disclosure, AAK reiterated its request to exclude food grade oleic acid from the product scope of the investigation.
I ndáil leis sin, rinne AAK tagairt don imscrúdú frithdhumpála ar allmhairí snáithíní stáplacha sintéiseacha poileistir (“PSF”) de thionscnamh na Malaeisia agus na Téaváine.
In this regard, AAK referred to the anti-dumping investigation on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters (‘PSF’) originating in Malaysia and Taiwan.
Sa bhreis ar an dá chuideachta a luaigh AAK san aighneacht, tairgeann tríú táirgeoir de chuid an Aontais aigéad oiléach de ghrád bia do mhargadh an Aontais.
In addition to the two companies mentioned by the AAK in the submission, a third Union producer offers food grade oleic acid to the Union market.
D’iarr AAK agus Musim Mas group eisiamh aigéid phailmítigh a úsáidtear le haghaidh beatha ainmhithe ón raon táirgí.
AAK and the Musim Mas group requested the exclusion of palmitic acid used for animal feed from the product scope.
Mheas AAK gurbh é 45000 tona in aghaidh na bliana an t-éileamh ar aigéad pailmíteach san Aontas.
AAK estimated that the demand in the Union of palmitic acid was 45000 tonnes per year.
Dúirt AAK nach raibh aigéad íonghlan pailmíteach oiriúnach in éineacht le haigéid shailleacha eile, agus nárbh fhéidir aigéid shailleacha eile a úsáid in ionad aigéad pailmíteach.
AAK stated that pure palmitic acid was not substitutable with other fatty acids, nor could other fatty acids replace palmitic acid.
Mhol AAK go bhféadfaí an t-eisiamh seo a chur chun feidhme má bhaintear C16 ón sainmhíniú ar an táirge.
AAK suggested that this exclusion could be implemented by removing C16 from the product definition.
Ina gcuid barúlacha tar éis an nochta deiridh, d’athdhearbhaigh Musim Mas group agus AAK a n-iarratas chun aigéad pailmíteach a eisiamh ón raon táirge.
In their comments following final disclosure, the Musim Mas group and AAK reiterated their request to exclude palmitic acid from the product scope.
Mar sin féin, murab ionann agus an méid a mhol AAK, níl an dara ceann teoranta d’aigéad stéarach íon.
However, contrary to what AAK suggested, the latter is not limited to pure stearic acid.
Le linn an chruinnithe, thug CAC KZ agus AAK tuairisc ar an dul chun cinn a rinneadh maidir lena CBT a fheidhmiú agus a fheabhsú.
During the meeting, CAC KZ and AAK reported on the progress made in executing and improving their CAP.
Maidir le creat reachtach eitlíochta na Casacstáine, thug AAK agus CAC KZ dá n-aire an t-athbhreithniú ar an bPríomhdhlí Eitlíochta, a achtaíodh go foirmiúil i mí na Nollag 2022.
In terms of the Kazakh aviation legislative framework, AAK and CAC KZ noted the revision of the Primary Aviation Law, which was formally enacted in December 2022.
Tar éis achtú an dlí sin, chuaigh AAK ar aghaidh chun athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar cheithre rialachán eitlíochta thánaisteacha is daichead le linn 2023.
Subsequent to the enactment of this law, AAK proceeded to revise forty four secondary aviation regulations throughout 2023.
Mar thoradh ar phlé Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais Eorpaigh i mí na Bealtaine 2021, rinne saineolaithe ón gCoimisiún, ón nGníomhaireacht agus ó na Ballstáit cuairt mheasúnaithe sa Chasacstáin idir an 11 agus an 15 Deireadh Fómhair 2021 ar láthair oifigí Údarás Eitlíochta Sibhialta na Casacstáine (“CAC KZ2”) agus ag an Riarachán Eitlíochta de chuid Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (“AAK”) agus ar shampla trí aeriompróir atá deimhnithe sa Chasacstáin, eadhon Air Astana, Jupiter Jet agus Qazaq Air.
As a follow up to the May 2021 EU Air Safety Committee deliberations, experts from the Commission, the Agency and Member States conducted a Union on-site assessment visit in Kazakhstan between 11 and 15 October 2021 at the Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan (‘CAC KZ’) and at the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (‘AAK’), as well as a sample of three air carriers certified in Kazakhstan, namely Air Astana, Jupiter Jet and Qazaq Air.
Ní mór do CAC KZ agus AAK a áirithiú go gcuirtear chun feidhme sásraí agus nósanna imeachta inmheánach fónta lena ndéantar an creat dlíthiúil agus teicniúil atá ann faoi láthair a aistriú ina ngnáthghníomhaíochtaí agus ina ngnáthnósanna imeachta de chuid na heagraíochta.
CAC KZ and AAK need to ensure the implementation of sound internal mechanisms and procedures translating the existing legal and technical framework into routine activities and procedures of the organisation.
Sa chomhthéacs seo, ba cheart do CAC KZ agus AAK a bhfeidhmeanna bainistithe cáilíochta foriomlána a fheabhsú mar aon le Clár Sábháilteachta Stáit na Casacstáine chun a áirithiú go sainaithneofar na riosca sábháilteachta a d’fhéadfadh a bheith ann agus go ndéantar iad mhaolú go cuí ar bhealach córasach tráthúil.
In this context, CAC KZ and AAK should improve their overall quality management functions, as well as the State Safety Programme of Kazakhstan, to ensure that potential safety risks are identified and duly mitigated in a systemic and timely manner.
Maidir leis na gníomhaíochtaí ceadúnaithe a dhéanann AAK, chun cur chun feidhme freagrachtaí ceadúnaithe na Casacstáine mar Stát Conarthach ICAO a áirithiú, shainaithin an fhoireann mheasúnaithe réimsí ar gá feabhas a chur orthu, go háirithe nósanna imeachta na gcigirí, córas scrúduithe teoiriciúla na foirne eitilte, agus na nósanna imeachta lenar féidir cur chuige caighdeánach a bhaint amach i leith cháilíocht na scrúdaitheoirí eitilte agus an fhaireacháin a dhéantar orthu.
With regard to the licensing activities performed by AAK, to ensure the implementation of licensing responsibilities of Kazakhstan as an ICAO Contracting State, the assessment team has identified areas needing improvement, in particular, inspectors’ procedures, the flight crew’s theoretical examinations system, and the procedures to enable a standardised approach to flight examiners’ qualification and the supervision thereof.
Ar bhonn an phlé a rinne sé, tháinig Coiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais ar an gconclúid gur cheart aird ar leith a thabhairt ar fhaireachán a dhéanamh ar na gníomhaíochtaí leantacha, lena n-áirítear trí éisteacht a thabhairt do CAC KZ mar le AAK ag an gcéad chruinniú eile de Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais, chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar na moltaí a rinneadh linn na cuairte measúnaithe a mhéid a bhaineann le forbairt agus cur chun feidhme éifeachtach plean iomchuí um ghníomhaíochtaí ceartaitheacha.
Based on its deliberations, the EU Air Safety Committee came to the conclusion that particular attention should be given to the monitoring, including through a hearing of CAC KZ as well as of AAK at the next meeting of the EU Air Safety Committee, of their follow-up activities, to address the observations made during the assessment visit, and notably as regards the elaboration and effective implementation of an appropriate corrective actions plan.
I mí Dheireadh Fómhair, mar chuid d’fhaireachán leanúnach an Choimisiúin ar an gcóras maoirseachta sábháilteachta sa Chasacstáine, rinne saineolaithe ón gCoimisiún, ón nGníomhaireacht agus ó na Ballstáit (“an fhoireann measúnaithe” cuairt mheasúnaithe de chuid an Aontais sa Chasacstáin ar an láthair ag oifigí Údarás Eitlíochta Sibhialta na Casacstáine (“CAC KZ”) agus ag an Riarachán Eitlíochta de chuid Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (“AAK”) agus ag oifigí trí aeriompróir atá deimhnithe sa Chasacstáin, eadhon Air Astana, Jupiter Jet agus Qazaq Air.
In October 2021, as part of the Commission’s continuous monitoring of the safety oversight system in Kazakhstan, experts from the Commission, the Agency, and Member States (the ‘assessment team’) conducted a Union on-site assessment visit in Kazakhstan at the offices of the Civil Aviation Committee of Kazakhstan (‘CAC KZ’), and the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan Joint Stock Company (‘AAK’), as well as at the offices of three air carriers certified in Kazakhstan, namely Air Astana, Jupiter Jet, and Qazaq Air.
Ba é cuspóir an chruinnithe sin athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar fhorbairt agus ar chur chun feidhme an CAP ag CAC KZ agus AAK, chomh maith leis na gníomhaíochtaí gaolmhara a rinne siad chun comhlíonadh éifeachtach a gcóras maoirseachta sábháilteachta a áirithiú leis na caighdeáin sábháilteachta idirnáisiúnta ábhartha.
The purpose of that meeting was to review the CAP development and implementation by CAC KZ and AAK, as well as the associated actions undertaken by them to ensure effective compliance of their safety oversight system with the relevant international safety standards.
D’iarr an Coimisiún ar CAC KZ agus AAK athbhreithniú a dhéanamh ar an CAP trí fhorbairt bhreise a dhéanamh ar an anailís ar bhunchúiseanna na n-easnamh sábháilteachta a sainaithníodh le linn na cuairte measúnaithe ar an láthair a rinne an tAontas, d’fhonn é a phlé ag an gcéad chruinniú teicniúil eile.
The Commission also asked CAC KZ and AAK to review the CAP by further developing the root cause analysis of the safety deficiencies identified during the Union on-site assessment visit, with the aim to discuss it at the next technical meeting.
Mar thoradh ar an bplé a rinne Coiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais Eorpaigh i mí na Samhna 2021, agus a dearbhaíodh le linn chruinniú teicniúil mhí Aibreáin 2022, thug an Coimisiún cuireadh do CAC KZ, AAK, agus don aeriompróir Air Astana teacht chuig éisteacht os comhair Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais an 17 Bealtaine 2022.
As a follow up to the EU Air Safety Committee’s deliberations of November 2021, and confirmed during the April 2022 technical meeting, the Commission invited CAC KZ, AAK, and the air carrier Air Astana to a hearing before the EU Air Safety Committee on 17 May 2022.
An córas a cuireadh ar bun chun maoirseacht sábháilteachta a áirithiú ar na haeriompróirí atá deimhnithe sa Chasacstáin, chuir CAC KZ agus AAK an córas sin i láthair don Choimisiún agus do Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais le linn na héisteachta.
At the hearing, CAC KZ and AAK provided the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee with an overview of the system put in place to ensure safety oversight of the air carriers certified in Kazakhstan.
Thairis sin, thug AAK tuairisc ar na forbairtí is déanaí maidir lena struchtúr eagraíochtúil, méid an tionscail eitlíochta sa Chasacstáin, chomh maith leis na torthaí ó Mhisean Bailíochtaithe Comhordaithe ICAO a rinneadh i mí Lúnasa 2021.
Furthermore, AAK reported on the latest developments regarding its organisational structure, the size of the aviation industry in Kazakhstan, as well as the results of the ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission carried out in August 2021.
Ar bhonn na faisnéise arna cur i láthair, is cosúil go bhfuil dul chun cinn suntasach déanta ó mhí Dheireadh Fómhair 2021 ag CAC KZ agus AAK maidir leis na caighdeáin sábháilteachta idirnáisiúnta ábhartha a chur chun feidhme.
On the basis of the information presented, it appears that since October 2021 CAC KZ and AAK have made noteworthy progress in the implementation of the relevant international safety standards.
Thug an Coimisiún agus an Ghníomhaireacht dá n-aire go bhfuil sé ar intinn acu tuilleadh tacaíochta a thabhairt do CAC KZ agus do AAK lena n-iarrachtaí an córas sábháilteachta eitlíochta sa Chasacstáin a neartú tuilleadh.
The Commission and the Agency noted their intent to further support CAC KZ and AAK with their efforts to further strengthen the aviation safety system in Kazakhstan.
Ar bhonn an phlé a rinne sé, tháinig Coiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais ar an gconclúid gur cheart aird ar leith a thabhairt ar fhaireachán leantach ar staid na sábháilteachta agus ar na forbairtí sa Chasacstáin, lena n-áirítear trí thuairisciú rialta ar an bhforbairt ó CAC KZ agus AAK, agus gur cheart aird ar leith a thabhairt ar an bhféidearthacht cuireadh a thabhairt dóibh freastal ar éisteacht ar cruinniú de chuid Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais amach anseo.
Based on its deliberations, the EU Air Safety Committee came to the conclusion that particular attention should be given to the continuous monitoring of the safety situation and developments in Kazakhstan, including through regular progress reporting from CAC KZ and AAK, and the possibility of inviting them for another hearing at a future meeting of the EU Air Safety Committee.
Agus a ngealltanas maidir leis an bhfeabhsú leanúnach á gcur i dtábhacht, thug CAC KZ agus AAK forléargas cuimsitheach mionsonraithe don Choimisiún agus do Choiste Aershábháilteachta an Aontais maidir le cur chun feidhme an phlean gníomhaíochta ceartaithí a forbraíodh ar bhonn thorthaí na cuairte measúnaithe ar an láthair a rinne an tAontas i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2021.
Underlining their commitment for continued improvement, CAC KZ and AAK provided the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee with a comprehensive and detailed overview of the implementation of the CAP developed on the basis of the results of the Union on-site assessment visit of October 2021.
