Proposal for a Council Decision on the position to be taken within the enlarged Commission of Eurocontrol

Summary:

Proposal presented on 15 October 2019 by the European Commission establishing the position to be taken on behalf of the Union regarding the envisaged adoption of updates to the route charges system.

Further information:

Under the Multilateral Agreement relating to Route Charges, the contracting parties agreed to adopt a common policy in respect of charges for en route air navigation facilities and services in the airspace of the Flight Information Regions falling within their competence. They accordingly agreed to create a joint system for the establishment and collection of route charges and to use for this purpose the services of Eurocontrol.

During its 113th session on 20 and 21 November 2019, the enlarged Commission of Eurocontrol is to adopt decisions regarding updates to the principles for establishing the cost-base for en route charges and the calculation of the unit rate, and the conditions of application of the route charges system and conditions of payment.
