16 million flights a year by 2002, together with institutional
changes, will be the principal drivers
behind this transformation. EUROCONTROL will
require leadership and determination in order to
achieve its objectives and consolidate its role within
the Single European Sky Regulations. It will
require the same commitment it has displayed over
the past forty years to bring all the main stakeholders
together in the knowledge that all players in the
industry must better understand each other’s functions
and basic role in the service chain. We must
work more closely together than ever before if we
are all to deliver the level of services demanded by
the travelling public.
At the end of my second year as President of the
Provisional Council, I look back with great satisfaction
at what the Organisation has achieved in
2003. These achievements would not have been
possible without the close cooperation and hard
work of everybody at EUROCONTROL. I would like
to extend special thanks to my Bureau in the central
secretariat for their advice and support throughout
the year.

FOREWORD
BY THE DIRECTOR GENERA L
2003 was an anniversary
year: EUROCONTROL celebrated
40 years of existence
and aviation commemorated
one hundred years of
powered flight.
But economic difficulties,
brought on by the situation
in Iraq and the international
outbreak of SARS (Severe
Acute Respiratory
Syndrome), made it a hard
one for airlines and air navigation
service providers.
However, 2003 was also a year that saw a number
of advances. Safety records were improved; traffic
figures began to recover and there was sufficient
capacity to deal with growing numbers of flights. A
number of technical programmes came online and
the Single European Sky initiative became reality.
Capacity
One of the major achievements of 2003 was made in
the capacity/delay domain. The economically optimum
target of one minute’s air traffic flow management
delay per flight was almost reached, resulting
in savings of millions of euros for the airlines.
These encouraging results can be attributed to
long-term cooperation between a range of partners,
careful planning and investment. The introduction
of RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation
Minima) played a key role in this achievement.
Safety
2003 was a good year for safety overall but EUROCONTROL
will not be complacent.
The High-Level European ATM (Air Traffic
Management) Safety Action Group (AGAS),
launched in EUROCONTROL after the Überlingen
accident in 2002, developed a Strategic Safety
Action Plan in 2003 which addresses a number of
aspects including runway incursions, human
resource issues and how to draw lessons from incidents
and accidents.
Cost efficiency
Cost efficiency became a major issue in 2003.
EUROCONTROL worked closely with partners from
across the industry to try to improve matters. An
Industry Crisis Monitoring High-Level Group was
formed and its recommendations were reviewed
by the Provisional Council in November. EUROCONTROL
also launched an Efficiency Drive for the
Agency that will reduce expenditure through the
revision of logistic costs and overheads.
International cooperation
Approaches to aviation from across the world were
collated at the eleventh ICAO Air Navigation
Conference. European viewpoints, coordinated by
EUROCONTROL,were well received and contributed
to the successful outcome.
Importantly, the Global ATM Operating Concept
was endorsed. This included pivotal elements, such
as performance orientation, ATM-wide safety management,
the use of airspace as a continuum,
Collaborative Decision Making and information
management.All these now form part of the global
vision.
The relationship between NATO and EUROCONTROL
was taken a step further with a new
Memorandum of Cooperation, signed on 8 May
2003.

The two organisations also established a joint coordination
group: the NATO/EUROCONTROL Air
Traffic Management Security Coordinating Group.
Together, they have developed ATM Security
Guidelines which have been endorsed by our
Member States. The group is now defining a
European ATM Security Action Plan.
European Union
Pan-European cooperation in the context of the
Single European Sky was strengthened. A
Memorandum of Cooperation was signed at the
end of the year by the European Commission and
the EUROCONTROL Organisation. This was an
