## Article 1 Objectives

1\. This Regulation aims to improve aviation safety by ensuring that relevant safety information relating to civil aviation is reported, collected, stored, protected, exchanged, disseminated and analysed.

This Regulation ensures:

(a) that, where appropriate, safety action is taken in a timely manner based on analysis of the information collected;

(b) the continued availability of safety information by introducing rules on confidentiality and on the appropriate use of information and through the harmonised and enhanced protection of reporters and persons mentioned in [occurrence](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/occurrence) reports; and

(c) that aviation safety risks are considered and dealt with at both Union level and national level.

2\. The sole objective of occurrence reporting is the prevention of accidents and incidents and not to attribute blame or liability.
