The Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research (SESAR) Joint Undertaking (the SJU), a public private partnership established in 2007, is the implementation instrument for the technology pillar of the Single European Sky (SES) and, in this respect, is in charge of the SESAR project’s development phase, i.e. is the "guardian" and the executor of the European ATM Master Plan (ATM Master Plan).

The Regulation (EC) 219/2007 (SJU Regulation) establishes that the SJU will cease to exist on 31 December 2016, as the Union funding to the Joint Undertaking's development phase is limited to the period covered by the Union’s 2007-2013 financial perspectives. The Regulation already foresees the possibility for the Council to review the scope, governance, funding and duration of the Joint Undertaking on the basis of progress made in the development phase.

As it is necessary to continue research and innovation on air traffic management (ATM) beyond 2016, and in particular, the coordinated approach in ATM research and innovation in the context of the SES to achieve the performance targets there defined, this legislative proposal seeks to extend the duration of the Joint Undertaking beyond 2016. The multiannual funding for the new activities highlighted in the ATM Master Plan from 2014 to 2020 under the Union’s new financial framework is part of Horizon 2020.
