The aviation authority for France, the Direction Generale de L'Aviation Civile (DGAC), originally type certificated this engine. The FAA 
validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number E12NE. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Aviation Safety Agency 
(EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf of France. 
 
IMPORT 
REQUIREMENTS 
Refer to the applicable bilateral agreement to verify eligibility for import into the  United States of both 
new and used aircraft based on the scope of the agreement, to   identify any required statements by the 
exporting authority on the export certificate of airworthiness (or equivalent document) , and for procedures 
for coordinating exceptions to conformity statements on these documents. Refer to FAA Order 8130.2,
