The report of the team shows that a new civil aviation act was published on 16 January 2008, and that INAVIC is progressing towards the establishment of an independent and well-structured civil aviation authority.

2.7 The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand was established 1992 under the Civil Aviation Act.

(7) Without prejudice to the Convention on offences and certain other acts committed on board aircraft, Tokyo, 1963, the Convention for the suppression of unlawful seizure of aircraft, The Hague, 1970 and the Convention for the suppression of unlawful acts against the safety of civil aviation, Montreal 1971, the new act should also cover security measures that apply on board an aircraft, or during a flight, of Community air carriers.

The new Civil Aviation Act, which entered into force in 2002, introduces the conditions for independent investigations of civil aviation accidents, the conditions of access to the ground handling market at Community airports, and common rules on the allocation of slots.

In air transport, an amendment to the civil aviation Act entered into force in June 2000 which is expected to implement both the Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs) and the Eurocontrol standards.
