– (LV) Thank you, Madam President. I welcome the fact that the new legislative provisions will unite air traffic management technologies and make progress towards a combined functional air space block system, thus reducing the fragmentation of European Union air traffic.

Since ports are made up of limited geographical areas, access to the market may, in certain cases, on grounds of economic efficiency inter alia, be numerically restricted on the basis of capacity and available-space constraints, traffic-related safety constraints, the profitability of the service provider, public service obligations of the service provider or of the managing body of the port, local, national or international environmental regulations, or the specific or substantiated economic needs of the port or the managing body of the port . In such cases it may therefore be necessary to limit the number of authorised providers of por ...[+++]t services.

- CONGESTION AND CRISIS IN AIR TRAFFIC IN EUROPE - COUNCIL RESOLUTION "THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Considering that air traffic management is of vital importance for the development of European air transport; Considering that air transport has a key role to play in economic development and strengthening social cohesion, providing swift and efficient links between regions and in particular in making peripheral and island regions accessible; Considering that air traffic congestion imposes serious losses and inconvenience both f ...[+++]or airlines and creates economic obstacles for air traffic within the European Union, while causing inconvenience for users in general; Considering that such congestion is aggravated seasonally and for given traffic flows and that saturation of the air space and reduction of available capacity are two of the primary causes of this congestion; Considering that an unexpected or unplanned loss of civil air traffic control capacity over an extended period can lead to a crisis; Considering that better utilization of available capacity could reduce congestion and prove useful in cutting costs; Considering that the Council, in its Resolution 89/C189/02 of 18 July 1989 and in its conclusions of 29 March 1990 and 7 December 1992, addressed air traffic system capacity problems, calling for an effort to make progress towards their possible solution; Considering that Directive 93/65 of 19 July 1993 dealt with the definition and utilization of compatible technical specifications for the procurement of air-traffic-management equipment and systems; Considering the communication from the Commission on congestion and crisis in air traffic presented to the Council on 4 September 1995; Considering the vital role in air traffic management and organization played by such international organizations as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the European Civil Aviation Commission (ECAC) and the European Organization for the Safety of Air ...

The European Commission has therefore proposed a series of measures which will allow the European network to cope with increasing pressure: - creation of a centralized air flow management system to coordinate the existing independent units - technical harmonisation to improve communication, technical compatibility and training - efforts by member states to allow some of the airspace reserved for military purposes to be made available for civilian use - Community coordination of airport infrastructure planning with possibility of Commu ...[+++]nity financial support and a better dialogue between airports and their users - research into the development of a fully integrated and automated system for air traffic management throughout European air space Improving the traffic flow A centralised air traffic management system for European airspace is essential, in the view of the Commission, since the present network of national air traffic control centres is ill-suited to managing the growing volume of traffic.

As you know, the role of NAV CANADA is to manage the safe and efficient movement of air traffic through Canadian domestic air space as well as international air space that falls under Canadian control.
