(5) The diversity and evolution of the conditions under which professional activities are pursued make it necessary to take inAnnex III to Council Regulation (EEC) 3922/91 on the harmonisation of technical requirements and administrative procedures for the field of civil aviation1 defines the concept "home base" for aircrew members under Union law. In order to faccount the situation of highly mobile workers. New labour supply structures have become evident amongst others in the air transport sector. Lilitate the application of Title II of the Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 for this group of persons, it is justified to create a special rule by using this notion of "home base" as the criterion for determinking the applicable legislation for aircrew members to. On the Member State where thother hand, the applicable rlegistered office or place of business of the undertaking or employer employing him/her is situated only is effective if there is a sufficiently close connection to the registered office or place of business. For aircrew members it is considered appropriate to refer to ‘home base’ as specification of the notion of ‘registered office lation for aircrew members should remain stable and the "home base" principle should not result in frequent changes of applicable legislation due to the industry’s work place of business’ for the application of Regulation (EC) No 883/200atterns or seasonal demands. _________________ 1 OJ L 373, 31.12.1991, p. 4.

-1. The following recital is inserted after Recital (18a): "18b. Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) 3922/91 on the harmonisation of technical requirements and administrative procedures for the field of civil aviation1 defines the concept "home base" for aircrew members as the location nominated by the operator to the crew member from where the crew member normally starts and ends a duty period, or a series of duty periods, and where, under normal conditions, the operator is not responsible for the accommodation of the crew member concerned. In order to facilitate the application of Title II for this group of persons, it is justified to use this notion of "home base" as the criterion for determining the applicable legislation for aircrew members. On the other hand, the applicable legislation for aircrew members should remain stable and the "home base" principle should not result in frequent changes of applicable legislation due to the industry's work patterns or seasonal demands. _____________ 1 OJ L 373, 31.12.1991, p. 4."
