The statement issued Wednesday\u00a0 noted that the rating is contained in the ICAO 2013 Safety Report, compiled by ICAO auditors who investigated the compliance with stipulated International safety standards by individual countries across the world, especially its 200 member countries.<\/span><\/p>\n
