The document discusses the implementation of Safety Management Systems (SMS) according to ICAO and EASA standards. It notes that an SMS is a toolbox containing elements like written policies, job descriptions, responsibilities, facilities, and planning tasks. The authorities need guidance on SMS implementation, including common vocabulary, example job descriptions, and training materials. It also questions what parts of compliance oversight will remain under the new ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP), whether member state objectives will be acceptable, and if ICAO will dictate new objectives.
