The SES Performance Scheme ICAO Regional Performance Framework Workshop Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 21-23 May 2013 1
EU s Single Aviation Market Before 1992: fragmented national markets based on restrictive bilateral air service agreements between EU Member States After 1992: from 27 national air transport markets to one single European aviation market - from national to EU carriers No restrictions on capacity, market access and pricing Common EU rules in the aviation sector The world s largest and most successful example of regional market integration and liberalization in air transport 2
The first SES package (1) Created an institutional framework at European and national levels in 2004: Implementation of the Community method: EU institutions adopt binding rules with involvement of stakeholders; SSC, ICB, Eurocontrol; Separation of service provision and regulation: Independent National Supervisory Authorities, certified ANSPs; Creation of the concept of Functional Airspace Blocks (FAB). 3
The first SES package (2) At the time of SES I (2004) the greatest problem in ATM was congestion in the air and subsequent delays. The situation had partly changed and required the introduction of a second legislative package in 2009 (SES II): safety and capacity are still major issues; greater emphasis on environment and more recently due to the fuel price crisis, on cost efficiency; and "better regulation" with more emphasis on the goals, than the means to reach the goals. 4
SES II builds on five pillars Performance Safety Technology Airports Human factor Performance scheme Performance Review Body Functional Airspace Blocks Network Manager National Supervisory Authorities EASA: ATM Competence Crisis coordination cell ATM Master plan SESAR Joint Undertaking Common projects Airport observatory Specific sectorial dialogue Committee Consultative expert group on social dimension of the SES 5
Regulating performance first Reference Period 2012-2014 (RP1) Performance Regulation (EC) 691/2010 Performance Review Body (PRB) Designated (Eurocontrol) EU-wide targets in 4 key performance areas: safety (no target in RP1), environment, capacity, cost-efficiency Commission Decision (2011/121/EU) February 2011 EU-wide targets for RP1 Performance plans approved in early 2012 RP1 started on 01.01.2012 monitoring and reporting during RP1 (2012-2014) 6
Regulating performance second Reference Period 2015-2019 (RP2) Preparation of RP2 started March 2012: Revised performance (EU) 390/2013 and charging regulation (EU) 391/2013 Consultation on proposals for Target ranges for RP2 Started in February 2013 Formal consultation 17.05.2013 03.07.2013 Adoption of Union-wide targets RP2 December 2013 7
Revised performance & charging regulations Binding performance targets in all 4 key performance areas (Safety, Environment, Capacity and Cost- Efficiency) Performance planning on FAB level 'gate-to-gate' approach covering the entire chain of air navigation services Target setting on terminal charges as of 2015 (Union-wide target setting foreseen as of 2017) Network Manager integral part of the scheme Clear link of new investments and major overhaul of systems to the EU ATM Master Plan 8
EU-wide performance targets in RP2 Key Performance Area Safety Environment Capacity Cost-efficiency Key Performance Indicator for EU-wide target setting Effectiveness of safety management Severity classification following Risk Analysis Tool Horizontal en route flight-efficiency (% additional distance) En route ATFM delay (Minutes per flight) Local targets for terminal Unit price (Average determined en-route unit cost) Local targets 2015; EU-targets 2017 9

Rules European targets RP1 (EC/PRB) National/FAB performance plans RP1 (States) Consistency with European targets (EC/PRB) European targets RP2 (EC/PRB) FAB perf. plans RP2 (States) Consistency with European targets (EC/PRB) Performance monitoring (EC/PRB/NSAs) 10
Wider European dimension of SES EU: 27 Member States EU agreements: Norway, Switzerland, Iceland EU and European Civil Aviation Agreements: Balkan States; more under development Bilaterals: EU with Morocco and Jordan Functional Airspace Blocks: Non-EU MS also member of a FAB observers: Jordan, Albania Network Management: EU with third countries All ECAA and Eurocontrol states 11
Relationship with ICAO Europe contributed to update ICAO global framework 12th Air Navigation Conference (Nov. 2012) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and Aviation System Block Upgrade (ASBU) Cooperation States-EC-Eurocontrol-ECAC-SJU-EASA- Eurocae SESAR/NextGen: strategic importance for ensuring interoperability within ICAO global system MoC EU ICAO More cooperation at regional level with ICAO Office in Paris, also to implement GANP/ASBU Single mechanism to facilitate harmonised implementation of ICAO Standards 12
Conclusions & outlook Achieving the Single European Sky is the most challenging objective for European aviation over the coming years Need for continuation via SESII+ A true network with a stronger regulatory and oversight capability Extension of the performance scheme Coordination of SESAR investments to ensure the contribution to the performance of the SES International cooperation beyond EU, with ICAO and other regions 13
