by commercial air or either ground or air.2 If a violation is alleged to have occurred, it will be the shipper’s responsibility to show, among other things, that the employees in charge of shipping of HAZMAT have received proper training. Where companies may typically run afoul of the regulations is failing to have well-established guidelines in place for the shipping of HAZMAT and for properly training employees responsible for its shipment. A shipper must not only recognize what HAZMAT is, but how to properly identify, pack, label and ship it. Relying on the carrier to “catch” any errors will not shield the shipper from liability. Being able to properly identify what is and is not HAZMAT is the first step toward compliance. Shippers should establish guidelines for shipments and ensure that those responsible for shipments act as trained gatekeepers so that all shipments, whether of HAZMAT or not, are handled properly. As the MIT case illustrates, you do not need to be in the business of handling HAZMAT to be held accountable for improperly shipping it.

Citing a need for improved efficiency and security, Eurocontrol recently announced that the process would be updated and automated. Account information may now only be accessed through Eurocontrol’s secure extranet, CEFA (CRCO Extranet for Airspace Users). Effective 1 Sept. 2011, Eurocontrol requires a letter be issued by account holders seeking to grant account oversight authority to lessors. Among other things, the letter must identify the lessor and be printed on the operator’s letterhead. Prior to this date, the letter could follow any form. Eurocontrol has imposed and now requires that the letter be issued in a specific form and sent by e-mail to a dedicated address. Eurocontrol will acknowledge the grant of authorization by return e-mail. Please feel free to e-mail me for a copy of the new policy which contains the template letter.

Eurocontrol Changes Account Oversight Procedure
It is common practice for aircraft lessors to seek access to their lessees’ Eurocontrol account statements to ensure that all charges are being timely paid. Fees left unpaid by the operator can be claimed from the aircraft owner notwithstanding the fact that the owner is an innocent bystander. Access was typically granted by the lessee providing a written letter of authority for Eurocontrol to disclose account information directly to the lessor.
