a forgone conclusion that the PRC will be
designated as PRB, as it requires positive
decisions of both EUROCONTROL governing
bodies and the European Commission.
The fi rst review period is set at three
years, but there is still a question as to the
best length for subsequent periods and
incentives mechanisms. It is important for
the performance review to drive improvement
to give those being reviewed
enough time to respond by, for example,
building up capacity, developing the route
network, recruiting staff and investing in
new systems.
The review will cover States, air navigation
service providers (ANSPs) and Meteorological
service providers. It will also look
at what is going on at airports and how
the performance of airlines is aff ected. In
Fron’s words: “This will create a comprehensive
picture of aviation – addressing the
regulatory side, civil and military aircraft
operators, air traffi c control and airports.”
Although airlines will not be subjected to
targets, their punctuality will be monitored,
as this is intimately related to ATM activity
and performance.
Selecting the Performance Review Body
The SES II Legislation states that the EC
may designate EUROCONTROL or another
competent organisation as the Performance
Review Body (PRB) to undertake the onerous
and complex task of reviewing performance
Europe-wide.
The Performance Review Commission
(PRC) at EUROCONTROL already has widely
acknowledged capabilities and experience. It
is probably best placed to provide PRB functions
in the very tight SES implementation
schedule. After all, the fi rst reference period,
for which targets will be set, will be 2012-14.
The PRC’s independence also makes it
The Single European Sky prides itself on being a performance-based
concept that targets continuous improvement. Simon Michell reveals
how this performance is going to be monitored
However, planning too far ahead
can produce high levels of uncertainty.
This goes to the nub of what the Performance
Review is trying to address. By
setting adequate targets and incentive
schemes, the EU legislator wants to incentivise
ANSPs to be more effi cient and responsive
to traffi c demand, while meeting
safety and environmental requirements.
Incentives such as these may include the
sharing of risks by the service providers
and airspace users.
ANSPs will have an incentive to increase
capacity in response to higher demand,
and to contain their costs at the same time.
When traffi c levels are high, they will retain
a proportion of the increased revenues and
when the traffi c drops, they will not bear
the full risk of lower revenue.
This is a new frontier for performance
review. If successful, it should generate
improvements across the board from
increased capacity, improved safety,
improved cost effi ciency and even more environmentally
friendly operations. What is
still to be decided, however, is exactly what
the targets should be, how they should
be implemented and how the incentives
might work.
and to introduce a better system of prioritisation
for the Agency’s work. “EUROCONTROL
clearly brings technical expertise to
the European ATM scene. But some things
needed to be improved. This includes
aligning EUROCONTROL’s governance with
the changes happening in ATM generally,”
says McMillan.
McMillan’s next move was to set up the
Air Navigation Services Board (ANSB), which
changes signifi cantly the way the Agency
works with its stakeholders. The ANSB means
all partners are involved in EUROCONTROL’s
decision-making processes, and in many cases
take a strategic lead in policy making. The
Board is composed of representatives from
service providers, airspace users, airports
EUROPE IS APPROACHING a critical phase
in its progress towards a Single European
Sky (SES). The next big milestone is the deployment
of the SES ATM Research (SESAR)
modernisation programme, due to start in
2016, and expected to provide suffi cient
capacity and cost savings to sustain the
industry beyond 2025.
In 2008, EUROCONTROL began its own
reform programme to pre-empt some of
the challenges ahead. The newly-appointed
Director General, David McMillan, created
