## GM1 Article 3(2) Definitions

[SINGLE GROUND HANDLING ORGANISATION BUSINESS GROUPING](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/single-ground-handling-organisation-business-grouping)

The concept of single GH organisation business groupings is used in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/20 for situations where a GH organisation has several branches that are registered in more than one Member State but belong to the same parent company. In such cases, it is necessary to establish that such organisations should be regarded as part of a single business grouping and should have a single PPoB — the one where the parent company is located. The application of this concept serves several purposes:

(a) to avoid the duplication of GH requirements for the same organisation;

(b) to avoid multiple oversight audits and inspections with the same scope — the organisation’s management system — and to enable effective and efficient [cooperative oversight](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/cooperative-oversight); and

(c) to enable GH organisations to identify to which competent authority they should submit a declaration.
