 Requirements of customers and aviation
stakeholders continuously growing:
 Safety
 Capacity
 Cost-effectiveness
 Performance
 Technology
 More than 40 ANSPs in Europe only
 Cooperation is key

Where We Come From – late 80s, 90s
Differences in everything:
 institutional frameworks
 airspace organisation
 navigation criteria
 systems & technologies
 ground infrastructure
 equipage requirements for aircraft
 certification and approval processes
 civil /military cooperation
 INEFFICIENCIES, DELAYS  COSTS

ANSPs Are Working Together
 EC initiatives support and requests:
 Better Regulation initiative (Timmermans initiative) fully
supported by ANSPs
 EC should resist the temptation to create new regulation
around industrial partnerships so as not to stifle innovation.
There are considerable success stories already (as above),
we do not need to stop future developments provided they
comply with competition law, etc.
 Help to create a Social Dialogue that persuades social
partners of the positive aspects of the SES and diminishes
the industrial actions ,etc.
