COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 176/2011
of 24 February 2011
on the information to be provided before the establishment and modification of a functional airspace block
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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) (1) and in particular Article 9a(9) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The functional airspace blocks are key enablers for enhancing cooperation between Member States in order to improve performance and create synergies. For that purpose and in order to optimise the interface of functional airspace blocks in the single European sky, the Member States concerned should cooperate with each other and where appropriate they may also cooperate with third countries. |
(2) |
Member States have to comply with the requirements of Article 9a of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 when establishing a functional airspace block. |
(3) |
Member States that establish a functional airspace block have to provide information to the Commission, the European Aviation Safety Agency, other Member States and other interested parties, giving them an opportunity to submit their observations with the aim of facilitating an exchange of views. However, the Member States should not provide classified information, business secrets or otherwise confidential information. |
(4) |
The information to be provided under this Regulation should reflect compliance with the objectives for the functional airspace blocks and assist Member States in ensuring consistency with other measures of the single European sky. |
(5) |
In order to facilitate such exchange of information and submission of observations, the information which is considered as ‘adequate’ to be provided to Member States, the Commission, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other interested parties should be clearly laid out as well as the procedures for this exchange of information. |
(6) |
In particular, the Member States concerned should jointly provide the information and accordingly provide one set of information and documentary evidence per functional airspace block. |
(7) |
The establishment of a functional airspace block should be considered as the legal process through which Member States must enhance cooperation between their respective airspace blocks. Member States should take the necessary measures to comply with this requirement at the latest by 4 December 2012, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 550/2004. |
(8) |
The determination whether a functional airspace block has been modified should be made on the basis of the same criteria for all Member States and should be limited to those changes which have a considerable impact on the functional airspace block and/or the neighbouring functional airspace blocks or Member States. |
(9) |
According to Article 13a of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), Member States and the Commission should coordinate with the EASA to ensure that all safety aspects are properly addressed when implementing the single European sky. |
(10) |
This Regulation does not affect the security or defence policy interests of Member States and related confidentiality needs according to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004. |
(11) |
Pursuant to Article 83 of the Chicago Convention, Member States that establish a functional airspace block will have to register agreements or arrangements for functional airspace... |
