On 11 June 2019, the European Commission published comprehensive rules on drones. The Commission Delegated Regulation and the Implementing Regulation (“Regulations”) have been drafted to ensure that drone operations across Europe are safe and secure, protecting the safety and privacy of the EU citizens. Regulations are expected to enter into force from 1 July 2019.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), alternatively known as drones, are becoming more and more popular in the world and inevitably becoming part of our everyday lives. Drone has no pilot on board and the control is carried out automatically via technical aids or pre-programmed flight.
