- 5-1. MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS IN 2010 1.1. Contracting States of the EUROCONTROL Route Charges System In 2010, 37 States participated in the Route Charges System. 1 Belgium 11 Spain 21 Sweden 31 Albania 2 Luxembourg 12 Greece 22 Italy 32 Bosnia and Herzegovina 3 Germany 13 Turkey 23 Slovak Republic 33 Serbia 4 France 14 Malta 24 Romania 34 Montenegro 5 United Kingdom 15 Cyprus 25 Croatia 35 Lithuania 6 Netherlands 16 Hungary 26 Bulgaria 36 Poland 7 Ireland 17 Norway 27 Monaco 37 Armenia 8 Switzerland 18 Denmark 28 FYROM 9 Portugal 19 Slovenia 29 Moldova 10 Austria 20 Czech Republic 30 Finland Table 1 - States participating in the Route Charges System in 2010 Latvia was technically integrated into the Route Charges System on 1 January 2011, and became the 38 th participating State 1.2. Key indicators Flights The CRCO processed 9.46 million messages relating to IFR flights operated from January to December 2010 in the airspace of the Contracting States, representing an increase of 0.9% over 2009 (see 5.1 and 5.2). Distances The number of kilometres recorded in the airspace of the Contracting States for the calculation of route charges was 8.71 billion kilometres in 2010, an increase of 2.9% over 2009 (see 4.4 and 4.5). Amounts billed The CRCO billed a total of EUR 6.57 billion in respect of route charges for flights operated from January to December 2010 in the airspace of the Participating States, an increase of 7.7% over 2009 (see 6.1 and 6.2). This amount excludes Value Added Tax (VAT) billed on behalf of VAT taxable Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) of Contracting States (see 6.3). Amounts disbursed to the States The total amount disbursed to the Contracting States in 2010 (see 6.2) was EUR 6.42 billion plus EUR 0.4 million of bank interest, as well as EUR 1.65 million of interest on late payment. Medium and long-term recovery rates The medium-term recovery rate for 2009, measured on 31 December 2010, was 99.47%. The average long-term recovery rate for the period 2005-2009, measured on 22 February 2011, was 99.63% (see 5.3). Productivity of the EUROCONTROL CRCO The productivity of the CRCO, expressed as the number of flight messages processed per staff member, went up by 6.5% in 2010 (see 5.4).

- 6-1.3. Rules and procedures of the Route Charges System Principles for Establishing the Cost-Base and the Unit Rates The version of the Principles issued in October 2007, as amended in March 2010, remained applicable throughout 2010 (available on the CRCO web site). Guidance on the Rules and Procedures of the Route Charges System The version of the Guidance issued in November 2008, and amended in November 2010, remained applicable throughout 2010 (available on the CRCO web site). Conditions of Application of the Route Charges System and Conditions of Payment The version of the Conditions of application issued in October 2007 remained applicable throughout 2010 (available on the CRCO web site). Financial Regulations applicable to the Route Charges System The version of the Financial Regulations applicable to the Route Charges System that entered into force on 31 March 2009 remained applicable throughout 2010. 1.4. Operations of the CRCO The CRCO operates the Route Charges System on behalf of the Contracting States. Aircraft operators are charged a single amount per flight, irrespective of the number of States overflown. Bills are established by the CRCO using flight messages sent by the Contracting States' Route Charges Offices (RCOs) and additional flight information made available via the EUROCONTROL Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). The CRCO bills aircraft operators on a monthly basis, collects charges, and disburses the amounts collected to the States every week. Billing In 2010, the CRCO issued 40,514 bills (3,376 bills per month on average) to a total of 5,985 different airspace users. In 2009 these figures were 39,284, 3,274 and 5,866 respectively. In 2010, users filed 2,290 claims involving 60.847 flights (2.292 and 43,421 in 2009 respectively). Correctly claimed flights amounted to 0.56% (0.33% in 2009) of the total flights processed. The average time for processing a claim was 39.9 days in 2009 (38.6 days in 2009). This figure refers to claims involving the CLA procedure only. Continuous efforts are made to maintain, and where possible to further accelerate the transmission and treatment of claims.

- 7 - Collection of charges The interest rate applicable on late payment was 11.58% per annum in 2010 (rate approved by the Permanent Commission on 2 December 2009 by Decision N o 113). In 2010, on average, 90.62% of the route charges were collected on the latest date for payment and 98.86% were recovered 30 days after (situation at 22 February 2011). These two percentage figures were respectively 88.77% and 98.58% in 2009. The increase in recovery rates reflected a slightly more favourable economic environment than in 2009. As at 31 December 2010, 99.47% of charges relating to 2009 were collected. 1.5. Update on Services to Stakeholders Adaptation to Single European Sky (SES) Requirements The first SES package was put in place early 2009, including changes to charging zones. Its aim was to deliver results that would be compatible with Functional Airspace Block (FAB) developments. A second SES package allowing for a better integration of terminal charges and management of incentives has been specified and is currently under development. Implementation of the EU VAT Package Further to the entering into force of the VAT Package in January 2010, the CRCO has adapted its application software to the new legislative requirements and has obtained from the States/ANSPs the information required to correctly invoice VAT. Renewal of the Application Software of the CRCO A project has been launched with a view to renew the application software, which uses ageing technologies. An in-depth analysis has been made to identify the major changes required for a more costeffective system that would offer the necessary the versatility to cope with emerging requirements from States and ANSP. This project will take several years and requires close cooperation with the National Route Charges Offices. Crisis Management The CRCO has updated its Risks Plan and integrated its own Business Continuity Plan in the Agency s Crisis Management Plan. CEFA (CRCO Extranet For Airspace Users) and DATALINK services The secured CRCO Extranet for Airspace users continued to confirm its success throughout the airspace user community. In December 2010, 1,323 users had signed a contract to use the CEFA services (1,164 in December 2009). The CRCO dispatched billing information electronically for 86.4% of the flights and 92% of the route charges billed. ETNA (Extranet to National Administrations) The ETNA Service is available to all Contracting States of the Multilateral Route Charges System (37 States in total) and to non-member States with a Bilateral Agreement. More than 900 reports are published each month throughout 120 accounts (three accounts per State: CAA, RCO and ANSP). During the month of December 2010, 11,500 pages were recorded as consulted by ETNA users.

- 8 - FRAUD Several campaigns were undertaken to counter the fraudulent attempts aiming at extorting funds from airspace users with fake identity and fake billing documents for air navigation charges. The CRCO thoroughly followed this matter and undertook all possible actions inform airspace users about such attempts. By allowing airspace users to crosscheck their billing documents against their financial situation available on a secured Internet site, CEFA has proven to be a reliable media for thwarting all fraudulent attempts. Facility for payments by Credit Card This facility has been in operation since 2002. In 2010 some 625 users used the credit card facility in 6,929 transactions amounting to 4.94 million euros. In 2009 these figures were 631, 6,342 and EUR 4.18 million respectively. 1.6. Bilateral agreements with EUROCONTROL Member States Billing and collection of Terminal Charges EUROCONTROL operates bilateral agreements relating to terminal charges with France (billing only), the Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, Moldova, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Sweden, and Greece. Any EUROCONTROL Member State may avail of terminal charges billing and collection services. Costs for billing and collecting terminal charges at the same time as en-route charges are very low since the same data is used for both types of charge. Moreover, claims submitted by users in relation to both types of charge are processed in a single and coherent operation. The total amount of terminal charges billed in 2010 was EUR 428.6 million (including France), corresponding to 2.6 million flights. Billing and collection of Shanwick Communications Charges EUROCONTROL bills and collects Shanwick communications charges in respect of flights performed in the Shanwick Oceanic Region on behalf of the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA). In 2009, the total amount of charges billed amounted to EUR 16.1 million corresponding to 383,705 flights. 1.7. Bilateral agreements relating to air navigation charges EUROCONTROL operates bilateral agreements relating to air navigation charges with five non-member States, namely Belarus, Latvia (until 31/12/2010), Uzbekistan, Morocco and Egypt, as well as with one EUROCONTROL Member State, namely Ukraine (until the technical integration into the Multilateral Route Charges System). Air navigation charges comprise route charges, and optionally, terminal charges. In 2010, terminal charges were billed on behalf of Ukraine, Belarus and Egypt. The States concerned fund all resources required for operating these bilateral agreements, without any financial contribution from the EUROCONTROL Member States. The total amount of air navigation charges billed in 2010 was EUR 372.6 million, corresponding to 1.31 million flights.

- 9-2. UNIT RATES 2.1. 2010 Cost-bases and national unit rates The national unit rates were determined in accordance with the common "Principles for Establishing the Cost-Base for Route Facility Charges and the Calculation of the Unit Rates" and were approved by the Permanent Commission on 2 December 2009 by Decision N o 112. Table 2 sets out the cost-bases and national unit rates for 2010 (Average September 2009 exchange rates). The costs chargeable to users were derived from States' forecast costs (column 1), EUROCONTROL forecast costs (column 3), reductions for exempted flights (column 4) and States' under/over recoveries carried-over to 2010 (column 6).

- 12-3.2 Unit cost per kilometre (long-term series - deflated costs) Evolution of real (en-route) Air Navigation Services Unit Cost (over 1982-2011) The graph below shows for each year between 1982 and 2011, the unit cost per kilometre of the en-route services made available to users in the airspace of the 1982 Contracting States, i.e. Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal (Lisboa and Santa Maria), Austria, Spain (Continental and Canaries). These eleven States represented 66% of the EUROCONTROL route charges in 2010. Costs are actual between 1982 and 2009 and forecast for 2010 and 2011 (forecasts presented to the November 2010 session of the enlarged Committee). They are deflated by the EUROSTAT GDP deflator available for the 1990-2011 period and recommended for use by the statistical office of the European Communities. For these 11 States the unit cost per kilometre was EUR 0.91 in 2009 (actual costs as shown in Table 3 divided by the number of kilometres flown as shown in Table 8). Graph 2 - Unit cost per kilometre Evolution of real (en-route) ANS Unit Cost for the CRCO 88 Area over 1982-2011 - Index 100 in 2011 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010E2011F For the last 20+ years, the series has shown a cyclical evolution in the unit cost per kilometre, with peaks recorded in 1983 (+26% above 2011 level) and 1994 (+31% above 2011 level). The plateau reached in 2002-2004 is significantly lower than the previous peaks, thus reflecting relatively lower unit costs since 2001 as compared with previous cycles. The real unit costs of these 11 States decreased until 2008 (lowest level over the period 1982-2011) and have been increasing again since then.

- 13-4. TRAFFIC STATISTICS 4.1. Total service units growth rate For a given flight and a given charging zone, the route charge is equal to the number of service units multiplied by the unit rate. The number of service units is equal to the weight factor (i.e. the square root of the MTOW divided by 50) multiplied by the distance factor (i.e. the great circle distance between the entry and exit points at which the route indicated in the last filed flight plan crosses the charging zone boundary). During the past three years, the growth rate of the total number of service units was as follows: Table 4 Total Service units Year Service units Growth rate 2007 112,047,816 7.3% 2008 118,865,485 6.1% 2009 112,838,198-5.1% 2010 116,759,383 3.5% The growth rate of 3.5% between 2009 and 2010, about half of the growth rates of the years 2007 and 2008, was analysed by STATFOR in the Service Unit Forecast released on 28 February 2011. Service units in 2010 started at volumes similar to 2009. The ash cloud crisis in April and May however resulted in a significant loss of SUs in 2010 (around 700.000, representing 0.6% of the TSUs over 2010). The summer, however, saw strong growth, with July passing the 2008 peak, on the back of strong growth in the number of flights. This ended with a peak of growth at 7.1% observed in October 2010. The rest of the year showed lower growth figures with a minimum of 2.3% observed in December 2010 compared to December 2009 levels. This lower growth in TSUs is also partly driven by slower flight growth from the start of the winter timetable, as well as by the December poor weather around Europe that resulted in many flight cancellations.
