Regulations
Annex II to 2042/2003 is Part-145. This implementing Rule deals with the approval of maintenance organisations and is derived from the former JAR 145 requirement.
There are relatively few changes between the former JAR 145 and EASA Part-145.

November 28th 2004 was the end of a transition period (specified in Article 4 to Regulation (EC) 2042/2003 whereby all ‘grandfathered’ former JAR-145 approvals had to be transitioned into EASA Part-145 approvals.
For the Agency this meant all the ‘grandfathered’ foreign JAR 145 and JAR 147 approvals had to be given EASA Part-145 and Part-147 approvals respectively.

Continuation activity
All 1760 foreign EASA approved organisations are subject to a full technical review every 2 year period to ensure “continuation”. (This approximates to 17 “continuations” per week).
In addition foreign CAMO and sub part F applications are being received from applicants. These are new codes so the total volume of activity has yet to be determined.
