The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an agency of the European Commission with responsibility for civil aviation safety in the European Union.It carries out certification, regulation and standardisation and also performs investigation and monitoring.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was created in 2003 and reached full functionality in 2008, and has since taken over most of the JAA functions. JAA Certification Specifications, formerly known as JARs, are recognised by EASA as an acceptable basis for showing compliance with their national airworthiness codes.
EASA specifies common standards for the licensing of aircraft pilots. EASA does not issue licences, rather licences are issued by member states.

The adoption of the Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU) and the subsequent establishment of the EASA created a Europe-wide regulatory authority which has absorbed most functions of the JAA (in the EASA Members states).
EASA CS-25 is the European Aviation Safety Agency Certification Specification for Large Aeroplanes. This certification procedure applies to large, turbine-powered aircraft, with max take-off weight more than 5,700kg (CS 25.1).

The process by which an air carrier is listed is laid out in Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and Council.It involves consultation among the regulatory agencies of the member states, the institutions of the European Community, the authorities with responsibility for regulatory oversight of the air carrier concerned, and the air carrier itself.
