IAOPA has been involved since 1980 to be present at the EU-ARENA in BRUSSELS to
represent GENERAL AVIATION (GA) and AERIAL WORK OPERATIONS ( AWO) at the
various EU INSTITUTIONS by asigning me as IAOPA LIAISON OFFICER
In function of this dit I make arangements to have a HEARING at the EP-TRAN chaired by
HORST SEEFELD and regular visiting this EP-COMMITIE.
I also developed contacts toward KAREL VAN MIERT who became the EU-COMMISIONAR
for TRANSPORT including CAT, GA and AWO
( intresting due to my lobbying work toward KAREL VAN MIERT dit I introduce his son BART to the training of PPL at EBGB and later toward the CPL/IFR , and dit BART become now a operational ATPL)
Later dit I renew the contacts for IAOPA in 2001 toward MRS DE PALACIO for the GA &
AWO
I was involved in this function until 31 december 2004 when I retired, but a few days later I was
aprochrd to be invited as a individual EU-LOBBYIST at the EU in function of my reputation as
MISTER GENERAL AVIATION
I ame nos still reguler 2 to 3 days weekly present in the BRUSSELS EU-ARENA and involved
then with MEP and personel of the differente EU-INSTITUTION suplying individual vieuws
mainly oreintated toward the requirements for GA and AWO
Note : I hope this clarify some questions if not contact me
