I would argue this should be dependent on the level of self certification, which EASA allows Airbus.

As this pustule of a scandal more and more pops out it turns out that Boeing essentially rubber stamped its own certificates.

I'm not sure about the level Airbus is allowed to do that.

EASA tended to certify on the same day as the FAA. FAA tended to certify a month or two after FAA. Now EASA no longer trusts FAA like FAA didn't quite trust EASA.
