At present the BGA has always overseen this.

What difference will these changes have, besides of course costing us all
more money!

It isn't the fact that the gliders are on the normal civil register
that is the problem. Our friends in the USA don't seem to have a
problem with this.

Gliders in Australia are on the civil register as Australian aircraft
too although the GFA maintains the glider register (for no good
purpose actually).

The real problem is the lunatic Euro rules and regs designed to feed a
vast bureaucracy. Western Europe was a more sensible place when there
were several million armed Russians glaring across the fence.
