However military aircraft operating as general air traffic should be subject to ATFM measures when operating or intending to operate within airspace or airports to which ATFM measures apply.

The meeting served to examine and adopt a number of joint implementation measures to render the agreements operational, such as the exchange of contact addresses for trade control and enforcement purposes, choice of communication tools for inter-agency messages, areas of co-operation in technical and scientific matters.
