General Aviation aircraft + Military Factor 2.2

4. ATM in Europe • ATM is Network made up of ~100 Airport “nodes”, ~600 Airspace Sectors & >36 Air Navigation Service Providers ATM Performance • Safety: 1992-2003 : ATM contribution to commercial aviation accidents – 3.6% • Capacity: Average delay per flight : 1.9 mins. (50% En-route / 50% Airports) • Costs: European ATM : €7 Billion annually Average rate of €0.76/km (en-route) – dropped 13% from 2003 to 2006

5. Fragmentation in European Airspace • 36 ANSPS • 68 ACCs opening 600 en-route sectors at maximum configuration • 190 APPs • 417 TWRs • 91 AFIS units • ATCOs in OPS: 16 000 • ANS staff: 55 000 • ANS costs: 7000 Meuros

6. The Institutional View of ATM

7. Single European Sky I Initiative • Launched in 1999 adopted March 2004 • Main principles • Reduce fragmentation within the European ATM System : • States / ANSPs • Civil and military • ATM systems • Introduce new technology • Synergy EU EUROCONTROL, in coherency with ICAO • …While improving safety, capacity, cost-efficiency

8. Single European Sky Regulations • Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) • Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the provision of air navigation services in the single European sky (the service provision Regulation)  • Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the organisation and use of the airspace in the single European sky (the airspace Regulation)  • Regulation (EC) No 552/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management network (the interoperability Regulation)

9. Framework : SES working method (I) • Regulatory approach • complements operational approach • Commission is in charge of implementation • Assisted by the Single Sky Committee • Member States’ civil & military representatives • Eurocontrol, other European countries invited • Supported by Industry Consultation Body • to achieve consensus about roadmap • And by Social Dialogue • The regulatory approach is complemented and supported by financial instruments • Research and development • Trans-European networks

10. Framework : SES working method (II) • Technical input by Eurocontrol • through mandates • Embedded into pan-European approach • as a result of EU membership of Eurocontrol • and of aviation agreements with non-EU States • And in a global context • through ICAO • and cooperation with main partners

11. Airspace regulation main themes • Harmonisation of airspace classification and design • A single European Upper Information Region • Functional airspace blocks are key to rationalisation and consolidation of service provision • Civil-military coordination • Flexible Use of Airspace • Improvements to air traffic flow management

12. Service provision regulation main themes • Separated national supervisory authorities • Air traffic service under continued monopoly • Choice of suppliers for other services • Cross-border service provision based on certification and mutual recognition • Benchmarking and best practices are key to better performance in non-competitive environment

13. Interoperability regulation main themes • Interoperability through “new approach” to standards • High-level essential requirements • Detailed through binding implementing rules or through voluntary industry standards • Implementing rules enable introduction of new equipment and procedures synchronised between States and between service providers and users

14. Single European Sky IILegislation • Launched in 2008 adopted 2009 : Regulation (EC) 1070/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 ) • The four pillars of Single European Sky II • Performance: framework amending the four SES regulations (co-decision): drive performance of the system • Safety: extend EASA competences to airports and ATM: (co-decision): cover all links of aviation safety chain – basis for performance regulation (total system approach) • Technology: Endorse the SESAR master plan (Council endorsement): speed up technological innovation to deliver technical tool for performance • Airport Capacity: Action plan and Observatory (range of actions): integrate performance scheme in both the air and on the ground • Four pillars under one overarching front: human factor

15. Single Sky II: The PERFORMANCE framework • 3 key measures : • • Introducing performance regulation: Art. 11 FWR • • Accelerating the creation and integration of air navigation services in Functional Blocks of Airspace (FABs): Art. 9a SPR • • Strengthening the network functions: Art. 6a ASR

16. The performance scheme (1) • First step: Preparation of performance regulation: • Performance Review Body prepares • Collection, validation, examination of data on services and network functions • Propose Community wide targets to Commission • Second step: Set Targets for the network • Commission sets European targets with Single Sky Committee • European network level targets cover network functions and are frame for setting local targets • Third step: Translate into National Plans • National Supervisory Authorities propose • Organise wide consultation - Based on business plans • Consistent with European targets

17. The performance scheme (2) • Fourth step: Adopt local targets • Commission approves national plans with Single Sky Committee • Ensure consistency between European and local targets • Preserve harmonised performance levels throughout the network • Fifth step: Ensure credibility of the scheme • NSA follow up • Performance Review Body monitors • Member States take corrective actions • Commission ensures effective application

18. Drive ATM performance (3) • Critical issues for the performance scheme : • Implementing rule to describe process, choice of indicators, balance between performance areas • Involvement industry and social partners in the process at network and local levels • Balance local with network requirements • Member States involved in target setting and responsible for corrective actions • Strengthen governance of actors in the process • Performance Review Body fully independent • National Supervisory Authorities competent to manage performanceregulatory process • EASA to guarantee high safety levels • ANSPs to meet performance targets – ideally in FAB context

19. FAB: Foster integration of service provision • FAB as tools for performance• Maintain bottom-up approach• FAB’s about synergies between service providers• 2012 as ultimate deadline for commitment• Extend scope to lower airspace • Framework to facilitate• Performance regulation focus FABs• Interaction FABs and Network Management • SES committee to clear obstacles

20. Commitments to FABs • Example of defragmenting • airspace: • • Currently 28 major service • providers in EU • • Functional Airspace Block • initiatives defragment ATM • service provision • • Firm commitments by 2012

21. Strengthen the network management function (1) • Improve the European route network-Deliver continuous improvement of environmental performance • Empower flow management-Better implementation of flow management measures-Link ATM and airport operations to increase overall efficiency • Management of scarce resources-Transponder code allocation and co-ordination-Frequency allocation and co-ordination • Materialize value added of SESAR-Synchronise deployment of SESAR and new network tasks

22. Strengthen the network management function (2) • Develop synergy with Eurocontrol• Community and Member States as political driving force • Eurocontrol as the technical and operational centre • Support internal change process to empower and focus towards SES logic• Focus on network functions• Focus on Performance scheme• Focus on SESAR related activities• Budget must reflect priorities• Improve governance and industry participation in operational tasks

23. Conclusions: • Reform of European ATM system is a real opportunity to improveour system • It is also a challenge: regulatory, technological, environmental Social issues need to be taken into account • SES II is a framework of partnerships with Member States and stakeholders
