Due to different national procedures, particularly relating to the administrative procedures of EASA examinations was on 2 April 2014 introduced a document entitled as EASA Examiner Differences document. It contains all the requirements that are required by the specific Member States be fulfilled by the foreign EASA examiner to conduct the EASA checks on behalf of specific EASA Member state.
