New Air Code of Ukraine System of regulations related to civil and state aviation through State Aviation Administration of Ukraine (SAAU) and Ministry of Defense Provides direct authorization to the Chairman of SAAU Establishes an independent Expert Agency on Air Accidents Investigation from 1 Jan 2012 Establishes State Inspectors Institute on safety oversight Introduces Just culture provisions Introduces penalty system for aviation regulation violation by entity / individual Includes new requirements of air carrier liability towards passengers Contains General Aviation Regulation Introduces Airport and Aerodrome Regulation Introduces provisions on environmental protection Introduces the Qualified Entities Development of national regulations in accordance with EU, ICAO, EUROCONTROL requirements 7
Envisaged Benefits for non-eu States resulted by SES Improvement of ANS efficiency, routes optimization and increased ATM capacity Uniformity within the pan-european Air Transport Network: Airspace design and service provision Interoperability/Integrity of ANS systems and procedures Harmonized ATM safety oversight within existing framework Charging schemes Reduction of delays at FIR/ACC boundaries via: Elimination of differences in ANS performance Effective ANSP s cooperation 8
Specific issues of SES Implementation for non-eu States SES as an EU initiative may result differences between the SES and non-ses States Lack of efficient involvement of non EU States into all kinds of activities (SSC/rulemaking, SESAR/SJU, NCP, etc.) Need for the Comprehensive Aviation Agreements with EU (ECAA) EU legislation does not directly applicable and not binding Harmonization of legislation is necessary EUROCONTROL plays a vital role in this process though EUROCONTROL / EU relationship is not yet formalized 9
Common Role for EU and EUROCONTROL Recognize the specific situation of non-eu MS Support SES Implementation regional planning Cover non-eu MS needs aimed at ATM concept design and synchronized implementation (SESAR) Ensure the non-eu MS involvement in operational and technical trials Grant rights for non EU States in SSC/rulemaking, EASA/OVS/CERT, SESAR/SJU, NCP, NMB, PRB etc. Find solution to avoid double cost of ATM/ANS inspections/oversight activities 10
Role of EUROCONTROL Adopt SES related legislation, procedures, operational & technical specifications Develop recommendations on State s specific problems related to the SES Implementation Assist non-eu MS in SES Implementation processes (to establish State Office for Pan-European SES Implementation) Establish target performance scheme (transition targets) for non-eu MS Perform a Gap Analysis for individual non-eu MS Allocate required resources in the Agency BP & Budget 11
High Level Agreement (HLA) between EU and EUROCONTROL HLA should establish legal basis for complementary mutual cooperation and specify its scope EUROCONTROL should support EU in SES implementation within and beyond the EU EUROCONTROL s new organizational structure and functions to be further adapted to implement SES strategy HLA should not become a revision of the EUROCONTROL Convention as it may affect non-eu States rights HLA to be implemented in transparent manner 12
Pan-European performance targets Participation of all SES and non-ses States is important to achieve a genuine efficient Pan-European network EUROCONTROL - to develop Guidance Material by mid-2013 for RP2 (including specific elements for non-eu States) EUROCONTROL - to review the Pan-European performance targets taking into account latest data (forecasts) for particular non-eu Member State Non-EU States - use RP1 as a transitional training and learning period focusing on the monitoring of the defined PIs with the intention of target setting in RP2 13
Safety Oversight & Standardisation Non-EU States concluded Working Arrangements with EASA: Current WA reflect post JAA situation Serve implementing EU Regulations and Standardization : part of transition phase after conclusion of ECAA Agreement Flexible approach is necessary in the ATM/ANS safety area to proceed with WA amendments Outstanding issues between EUROCONTROL and EASA to be formally resolved 14
ESIMS Based on EUROCONTROL Convention, regulations and common practices ESIMS to be recognized by EU/EASA as an appropriate and sufficient part of EU standardization system Existing approach of safety related activities/audits for ECTL MS (ESIMS) to be preserved during transition Synergy of ESIMS and EASA standardization Further recognition EUROCONTROL expertise, and granting the equal rights to non-eu EUROCONTROL MS within EASA ATM regulatory activities 15
Additional Measures to ensure Non- EU MS interests (2) 27 EU Member States 39 EUROCONTROL Member States (non-eu/12) EU/EC H L A ECAA agreement Annual meeting EU Transport Council & EUROCONTROL PC/CN EUROCONTROL Joint Committee Representatives EU /ECTL 16
Exciting EU/EUROCONTROL assistance in sphere of aviation for Ukraine TEN-T Support to the integration of Ukraine in the Trans- European Transport Network TEN-T Twinning Support the implementation of the Norms and Standards of the EU in the Spheres of Airports, Aerodromes and Air Traffic Management / Air Navigation Services (ATM/ANS TRACECA Civil Aviation Safety and Security Project Agreement between SAAU and EUROCONTROL on the provision of support for the assessment of the status of Ukraine concerning SES implementation 17
Conclusions: EUROCONTROL continues supporting Non-EU Members within the development of Pan- European Network Maintain EUROCONTROL s regulatory function as appropriate for non- ECAA EUROCONTROL MS Retain EUROCONTROL as Intergovernmental Organization Allocate required resources in the Agency BP & Budget Smooth and gradual integration into the SES to be reflected in HLA to ensure the Pan-European dimension and protect the interests of Non-EU States Non-EU countries should seek an active involvement in FABs, at least by having direct bilateral relations EU to continue practice of targeted support and grant non-eu MS States access to SES governance structures (SSC, NMB) and advisory forums ( e.g. NSA coordination platform) 18
Conclusions: Non-EU countries should seek an active involvement in FABs, at least by having direct bilateral relations EU to continue practice of targeted support and grant non-eu MS States access to SES governance structures (SSC, NMB) and advisory forums ( e.g. NSA coordination platform) EASA and non-eu MS to finalize the WA amendments to allow a smooth transition of the new ATM/ANS inspection system at a pan-european level An ECAA or comparable agreement is an important instrument to formalize the links with SES States that experience difficulties related to the existence of double / multiple regulations may apply to those norms which allow them to ensure the required level of safety and performance 19
