	ONE SINGLE SKY FOR THE WHOLE EUROPEAN UNION
		The European Commission welcomes the agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council with a view to creating a single European airspace for the benefit of both civil and military users.
		The package of legislation agreed between the European Parliament and the Council is based on the results of the work of the High-Level Group on the creation of the single European sky and meets two key objectives.
		The principal objective is to reduce fragmentation in the sky by creating functional blocks of airspace extending beyond national frontiers and on the ground by encouraging co-operation between air traffic control organisations.

		The October 2003 setback was disappointing, given that the Single European Sky lobby had patiently courted nations reluctant to yield control of national airspace.
		European legislators are realistic enough to know that the extension of a Single European Sky--from the Atlantic coast in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east and from Scandinavia in the north to the Mediterranean in the south--will not emerge any time soon.
		Single European Sky is intended to combine civil and military ATC authorities in a more constructive collaboration.

	Single European Sky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Single European Sky is a European Commission initiative that is intended to change the future structure of air traffic control across Europe.
		European air space is some of the busiest in the world, and the current system of air traffic management suffers from several inefficiencies, such as using air traffic control boundaries that follow national borders, and having large areas of European airspace reserved for military use when in fact they may not be needed.
		The Spanish have blocked the inclusion of Gibraltar Airport in the Single European Sky.

	MIIIT - Single European Sky (SES) - Work Programme 2005 (E.Commission) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The European Commission through Eurocontrol have established the Single European Sky concept way back in 1990 as a result in response to what was seen (mainly by airlines) as a fragmented Air Traffic Control Management across Europe which had resulted in the inefficient use of airspace, reflecting in increasing delays, congestion and additional pollution.
		This is a very significant development, as the Single Sky package actually reflects the willingness of Member States to transfer very wide decision-making powers to the European Union and to move beyond the traditional national approach to air traffic management, a major obstacle noted in the nineties.
		The Single Sky Committee will be the political sounding board for any significant initiatives in the ATM sector and is the mandatory point of passage for all legislation affecting the industry.

		These proposals, combined as a "legislative package", relate to the various aspects of that management and are aimed at creating a "Single European Sky" for the purpose of reorganizing European air space according to traffic flows rather than national borders as it is presently the case.
		As the European Commission White Paper on Transport Policy remind us, in the last 20 years, the growth in air transport has been the biggest by far; traffic (expressed in terms of passengers/kilometers) has increased by an average of 7.4% since 1980, while traffic in the airports of the Fifteen has risen fivefold since 1970.
		The aim of this package is to create a "Single European Sky" for the purpose of reorganizing European air space according to traffic flows rather than national borders as it is presently the case.

		The objectives of the legislation are to improve and reinforce safety, to restructure European airspace as a function of air traffic flow, rather than according to national borders, to create additional capacity and to increase the overall efficiency of the air traffic management system (ATM).

		Notwithstanding, having been a member of the original High Level Group which considered a Single European Sky, it is satisfying to note that we are discussing implementation and not still the need for such an initiative.
		The European Union has produced a directive which describes the procedures to be followed in introducing operating restrictions aimed at limiting or reducing access by the noisiest types of aircraft at European Community airports.
		Needless to say the Single European Sky initiative will also need to consider these aspects when a political decision is taken to extend the, largely, upper airspace nature of current proposals to the lower airspace in about 2006.

		In the present European aviation landscape, each of the continent’s nation states has its own provider of air navigation services, which is charged, with its own peculiarities, with meeting that country’s specific air traffic management needs.
		The European Commission’s "Single European Sky" (SES) programme is intended to consolidate and harmonise this currently-fragmented European air traffic management system, and thereby enhance the efficiency of the system as a whole.
		In December 2006, skyguide was awarded its SES certification – confirmation of its compliance with the high operating and procedural standards required, and an essential qualification for any provider which wishes to continue to offer its air traffic services in the future SES world.

	EU Regulations in Air Traffic Management
		These regulations cover issues such as: the Single European Sky, Interoperability of ATM systems, Airspace Management and the provision and regulation of Air Navigation Services.
		These regulations are likely to have a dramatic impact on European ATM, as they apply directly to the 25 member States of the EU and indirectly to prospective members.
		The objective and scope of this regulation is to support the progressive integration of European airspace and to establish common procedures and arrangements for the design and management of airspace in support of the safe performance of the Single European Sky.

		INTRODUCTION 1.1 In December 2001, the European Commission published proposals for legislation to support the European Union (EU) initiative for the creation of a Single European Sky.
		Within the draft legislation prepared by the European Commission are a number of proposals for the arrangement of Air Navigation Services (ANS) which could significantly impact the organization of aeronautical meteorological service provision within European Union member states.
		The European Commission proposal also sits in stark contrast to the encouragement by the WMO Executive Council forty-eighth session held in 1996, to Members to designate their National Meteorological Services as the "Meteorological Authorities" within the meaning of the Chicago Convention (WMO circular letter, reference W/AN/IANS, dated 12 November 1996).

		They make it possible to push through policies which, in normal times would be highly contentious: the integration of criminal justice, the European Arrest Warrant, the harmonisation of immigration rules, a European public prosecution service (Eurojust), an operational role for the EU police force (Europol).
		The EU, by contrast, while insisting on a European Arrest Warrant within its own borders, simultaneously forbids the extradition of terrorist suspects to US states where they might face the death penalty.
		To the true believers in European unity, of course, such arguments are irrelevant.
