What does cover regulation mean?


Implementing rules are Commission Regulations. They are usually composed of a short introductory regulation, colloquially known as ‘cover regulation’, and Annexes thereto, containing the technical requirements for implementation. In the EASA system, these Annexes are usually called Parts (e.g. Part-21 is an Annex to Regulation 1702/2003).
The ‘cover’ regulation is usually short (3-4 pages) and it includes:
•    Considering clauses (“whereas”), explaining the principles and considerations that lead the legislator when adopting the Regulation;
•    A description of the objective and scope of the regulation;
•    Definitions that are used throughout the Regulation and its Annexes;
•    the establishment of the applicability of its annex(es)
•    Conversion and transition measures
