ob upoštevanju Mednarodne konvencije EUROCONTROL o sodelovanju za varnost zračne plovbe z dne 13. decembra 1960, ki je bila spremenjena z dodatnim protokolom z dne 6. julija 1970, nato spremenjena s protokolom z dne 21. novembra 1978, vse spremenjeno s protokolom z dne 12. februarja 1981, in spremenjena in usklajena s protokolom z dne 27. junija 1997, v nadaljnjem besedilu »konvencija«, in zlasti njenega 40. člena;
ob upoštevanju odgovornosti, danih Evropski skupnosti s Pogodbo o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti z dne 25. marca 1957, kot je bila spremenjena z Amsterdamsko pogodbo z dne 2. oktobra 1997, na nekaterih področjih, zajetih v konvenciji;
ker so države članice Evropske skupnosti, članice EUROCONTROL-a, pri sprejemanju protokola, s katerim je bila usklajena konvencija, ki je bil dan na voljo za podpis 27. junija 1997, izjavile, da njihov podpis ne vpliva na izključno pristojnost Skupnosti na nekaterih področjih, zajetih v tej konvenciji, in na članstvo Skupnosti v EUROCONTROL-u za uresničevanje take izključne pristojnosti;
ker je namen pristopa Evropske skupnosti h konvenciji pomagati Evropski organizaciji za varnost zračne plovbe, v nadaljnjem besedilu »EUROCONTROL«, pri doseganju njenih ciljev, kot so navedeni v konvenciji, zlasti tega, da je edini in učinkoviti organ za oblikovanje politike upravljanja zračnega prometa v Evropi;
ker je za pristop Evropske skupnosti k EUROCONTROL-u treba pojasniti način, kako se bodo določbe konvencije uporabljale v Evropski skupnosti in njenih državah članicah;
ker pogoji pristopa Evropske skupnosti h konvenciji omogočajo Skupnosti, da v EUROCONTROL-u uresničuje pristojnosti, ki so bile nanjo prenesene iz njenih držav članic;
ker sta se Kraljevina Španija in Združeno kraljestvo v skupni izjavi ministrov za zunanje zadeve v Londonu 2. decembra 1987 dogovorila o večjem sodelovanju pri uporabi gibraltarskega letališča, vendar morata ta dogovor še začeti izvajati,

Evropska skupnost v okviru svoje pristojnosti pristopa h konvenciji pod pogoji, določenimi v tem protokolu, v skladu s 40. členom konvencije.

Za Evropsko skupnost se bo v okviru njene pristojnosti konvencija uporabljala za navigacijske službe zračnega prometa za vodenje prometa na zračnih poteh in z njimi povezane priletne in letališke službe za zračni promet na letalskih informativnih območjih (FIR) njenih držav članic, navedenih v prilogi II h konvenciji, ki so v mejah ozemlja, na katerem se uporablja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti.
Razume se, da uporaba tega protokola za gibraltarsko letališče ne vpliva na pravna stališča Kraljevine Španije in Združenega kraljestva do spora glede suverenosti nas ozemljem, na katerem leži letališče.
Uporaba tega protokola se za gibraltarsko letališče začasno odloži, dokler se ne začnejo izvajati dogovori iz skupne izjave ministrov za zunanje zadeve Kraljevine Španije in Združenega kraljestva z dne 2. decembra 1987. Vladi Kraljevine Španije in Združenega kraljestva bosta o datumu začetka izvajanja obvestili druge pogodbenice tega protokola.

Ob upoštevanju določb tega protokola se določbe konvencije razlagajo tako, da vključujejo tudi Evropsko skupnost v okviru pristojnosti Skupnosti, različne izraze, uporabljene za poimenovanje pogodbenic konvencije in njihovih predstavnikov, pa je treba ustrezno razumeti.

Evropska skupnost ne bo prispevala k proračunu EUROCONTROL-a.

Brez vpliva na uresničevanje glasovalnih pravic po 6. členu ima Evropska skupnost pravico, da je zastopana in vključena v delo vseh organov EUROCONTROL-a, v katerih ima katera koli njena država članica pravico biti zastopana kot pogodbenica, in v katerih se lahko obravnavajo zadeve, ki spadajo pod njeno pristojnost, razen organov, ki imajo nadzorno funkcijo.
V vseh organih EUROCONTROL-a, v katerih sme sodelovati, bo Evropska skupnost v skladu s svojimi institucionalnimi pravili predstavljala svoja stališča v okviru svoje pristojnosti.
Evropska skupnost ne sme predlagati kandidatov za članstvo izvoljenih organov EUROCONTROL-a, niti ne sme predlagati kandidatov za funkcijo v organih, v katerih ima pravico sodelovati.

1. Pri odločitvah o zadevah, za katere ima Evropska skupnost izključno pristojnost, in za uporabo pravil, predvidenih v 8. členu konvencije, Evropska skupnost uresničuje glasovalne pravice svojih držav članic po konvenciji, glasovi in tehtani glasovi, ki jih tako daje Evropska skupnost, pa se seštevajo za določitev večin, določenih v omenjenem 8. členu konvencije. Če glasuje Skupnost, njene države članice ne glasujejo.
Pri odločanju o številu pogodbenic konvencije, potrebnem za zahtevo o odločanju s tričetrtinsko večino, kot je predpisano na koncu prvega pododstavka člena 8.2, se šteje, da Skupnost zastopa svoje države članice, ki so članice EUROCONTROL-a.
Odločitev, predlagana glede posebne točke, o kateri naj bi glasovala Evropska skupnost, se odloži, če to zahteva pogodbenica konvencije, ki ni članica Evropske skupnosti. Odlog se uporabi za posvetovanja med pogodbenicami konvencije o predlagani odločitvi, pri čemer jim pomaga Agencija EUROCONTROL-a. Pri taki zahtevi se lahko sprejetje odločitve odloži najdlje za šest mesecev.
2. Pri odločitvah o zadevah, pri katerih Evropska skupnost nima izključne pristojnosti, države članice Evropske skupnosti glasujejo v skladu s svojimi glasovalnimi pravicami, kot je določeno v 8. členu konvencije, Evropska skupnost pa ne glasuje.
3. Evropska skupnost za vsak primer posebej obvesti druge pogodbenice konvencije o primerih, v katerih bo ob upoštevanju različnih točk dnevnih redov Generalne skupščine, Sveta in drugih posvetovalnih organov, katerim sta Generalna skupščina in Svet pooblastila, uresničila glasovalne pravice, določene v prvem odstavku tega člena. Ta obveznost velja tudi takrat, kadar se odločitve sprejemajo dopisno.

Obseg pristojnosti, prenesene na Skupnost, je splošno prikazan v pisni izjavi, ki jo je Evropska skupnost sestavila ob podpisu tega protokola.
Ta izjava se lahko ustrezno spremeni z uradnim obvestilom Evropske skupnosti EUROCONTROL-u. Ne nadomešča ali nikakor ne omejuje zadev, ki so lahko zajete v uradnih obvestilih o pristojnosti Skupnosti in jih je treba poslati pred odločanjem EUROCONTROL-a z uradnim glasovanjem ali drugače.

34. člen konvencije se uporablja za vsak spor med dvema ali več pogodbenicami tega protokola ali med eno ali več pogodbenicami tega protokola in EUROCONTROL-om v zvezi z razlago, uporabo ali izvajanjem tega protokola, vključno z njegovim obstojem, veljavnostjo in odpovedjo.

1. Ta protokol je na voljo za podpis vsem državam podpisnicam protokola, s katerim je bila usklajena Mednarodna konvencija EUROCONTROL o sodelovanju za varnost zračne plovbe z dne 13. decembra 1960, ki je bila večkrat spremenjena, danega na voljo za podpis 27. junija 1997, v nadaljnjem besedilu »protokol za uskladitev«, ter Evropski skupnosti.
Pred datumom začetka veljavnosti je na voljo za podpis tudi državi, ki je pravilno pooblaščena za podpis protokola za uskladitev v skladu z njegovim 2. členom.
2. Ta protokol se ratificira, sprejme ali odobri. Listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi se deponirajo pri Vladi Kraljevine Belgije.
3. Ta protokol začne veljati, ko so ga na eni strani ratificirale, sprejele ali odobrile vse države podpisnice, ki so tudi podpisnice protokola za uskladitev, njihova ratifikacija, sprejetje ali odobritev pa se zahteva za začetek veljavnosti protokola za uskladitev, na drugi strani pa Evropska skupnost, prvi dan drugega meseca po deponiranju zadnje listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi, če je protokol za uskladitev na ta dan začel veljati. Kadar ta pogoj ni izpolnjen, začne veljati na isti dan kot protokol za uskladitev.
4. Za tiste podpisnice, ki so deponirale svoje listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi po začetku veljavnosti tega protokola, začne ta veljati prvi dan drugega meseca, ki sledi deponiranju ustreznih listin o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi.
5. Vlada Kraljevine Belgije obvesti vlade drugih držav podpisnic tega protokola in Evropsko skupnost o vsakem podpisu, deponiranju listine o ratifikaciji, sprejetju ali odobritvi in vsakem datumu začetka veljavnosti tega protokola v skladu s tretjim in četrtim odstavkom tega člena.

Vsak pristop h konvenciji po začetku njene veljavnosti pomeni tudi soglasje o zavezanosti po tem protokolu. Določbe 39. in 40. člena konvencije veljajo tudi za ta protokol.

1. Ta protokol ostane veljaven nedoločen čas.
2. Če vse države članice EUROCONTROL-a, ki so članice Evropske skupnosti, izstopijo iz EUROCONTROL-a, se šteje, da je Evropska skupnost dala uradno obvestilo o odpovedi konvencije in tega protokola skupaj z uradnim obvestilom o odpovedi po členu 38.2 konvencije zadnje države članice Evropske skupnosti, ki izstopi od EUROCONTROL-a.

Vlada Kraljevine Belgije ta protokol registrira pri generalnem sekretarju Združenih narodov v skladu s 102. členom Ustanovne listine Združenih narodov in pri Svetu Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva v skladu s 83. členom Konvencije o mednarodnem civilnem letalstvu, podpisane v Chicagu 7. decembra 1944.
V POTRDITEV TEGA so spodaj podpisani pooblaščenci, ko so predložili svoja pooblastila in se je ugotovilo, da so pristna in pravilno sestavljena, podpisali ta protokol.
SESTAVLJENO v Bruslju dne 8. oktobra 2002 v uradnih jezikih držav podpisnic, v enem samem izvirniku, ki je deponiran v arhivu Vlade Kraljevine Belgije, ki pošlje overjene kopije vladam drugih držav podpisnic in Evropski skupnosti. Ob kakršnem koli neskladju prevlada francosko besedilo.

Having regard to the EUROCONTROL International Convention relating to Co-operation for the Safety of Air Navigation of 13 December 1960, as amended by the Additional Protocol of 6 July 1970, in turn amended by the Protocol of 21 November 1978, all amended by the Protocol of 12 February 1981, and as amended and consolidated by the Protocol of 27 June 1997, hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”, and in particular Article 40 thereof;
Having regard to the responsibilities granted by the Treaty establishing the European Community of 25 March 1957, as revised by the Amsterdam Treaty of 2 October 1997, to the European Community in certain areas covered by the Convention;
Whereas the European Community Member States, Members of EUROCONTROL, when adopting the Protocol consolidating the Convention which was opened for signature on 27 June 1997, declared that their signature was without prejudice to the Community’s exclusive competence in certain areas covered by that Convention and to the Community’s membership of EUROCONTROL for the purpose of exercising such exclusive competence;
Whereas the purpose of the accession of the European Community to the Convention is to assist the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, hereinafter referred to as “EUROCONTROL”, in achieving its objectives as set out in the Convention, notably that of being a single and efficient body for Air Traffic Management policy-making in Europe;
Whereas the European Community's accession to EUROCONTROL requires clarification of the way in which the provisions of the Convention will apply to the European Community and its Member States;
Whereas the terms and conditions of the accession of the European Community to the Convention shall enable the Community to exercise within EUROCONTROL such competencies that have been transferred to it from its Member States;
Whereas arrangements for greater co-operation over the use of Gibraltar airport were agreed in London on 2 December 1987 by the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom in a joint declaration by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the two countries, and such arrangements have yet to come into operation;

The European Community, within the framework of its competence, accedes to the Convention on the terms and conditions laid down in this Protocol, in accordance with Article 40 of the Convention.

For the European Community, within the framework of its competence, the Convention shall apply to en-route air navigation services and related approach and aerodrome services for air traffic in the Flight Information Regions of its Member States listed in Annex II to the Convention, which are within the limits of the territorial applicability of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
The application of this Protocol to the airport of Gibraltar is understood to be without prejudice to the respective legal positions of the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom with regard to the dispute over sovereignty over the territory in which the airport is situated.
Application of this Protocol to Gibraltar airport shall be suspended until the arrangements in the Joint Declaration made by the Foreign Ministers of the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom on 2 December 1987 have come into operation. The Governments of Spain and the United Kingdom will inform the other Contracting Parties to this Protocol of such date of entry into operation.

Subject to the provisions of this Protocol, provisions in the Convention shall be so interpreted as to also include the European Community within the framework of Community competence, and the various terms used to designate the Contracting Parties to the Convention and their representatives are to be understood accordingly.

The European Community will not contribute to the budget of EUROCONTROL.

Without prejudice to the exercise of its voting rights under Article 6, the European Community shall be entitled to be represented and involved in the work of all bodies of EUROCONTROL in which any of its Member States is entitled to be represented as a Contracting Party, and where matters falling within its competence may be dealt with, with the exception of bodies which have an audit function.
In all bodies of EUROCONTROL where it may participate, the European Community will present its positions, within the framework of its competence, in accordance with its institutional rules.
The European Community may not submit candidates for membership of elected EUROCONTROL bodies, nor may it submit candidates for office on the bodies in which it is entitled to participate.

1. For decisions in matters where the European Community has exclusive competence and for the purpose of the application of the rules provided for in Article 8 of the Convention, the European Community shall exercise the voting rights of its Member States under the Convention, and the votes and weighted votes so cast by the European Community shall be cumulated for the determination of the majorities provided for in the said Article 8 of the Convention. When the Community votes, its Member States shall not vote.
For the purpose of deciding on the number of Contracting Parties to the Convention required for a request for decision-making by a three-quarters majority, as stipulated at the end of the first sub-paragraph of Article 8.2, the Community shall be considered as representing its Member States, which are Members of EUROCONTROL.
A decision proposed with respect to a specific item to be voted on by the European Community shall be postponed if a Contracting Party to the Convention that is not a member of the European Community so requests. The postponement shall be used for consultations between the Contracting Parties to the Convention, assisted by the EUROCONTROL Agency, on the decision proposed. In the event of such a request, the taking of the decision may be postponed for a maximum period of six months.
2. For decisions in matters where the European Community has no exclusive competence, Member States of the European Community shall vote in accordance with their voting rights as provided for in Article 8 of the Convention, and the European Community shall not vote.

This obligation shall also apply when decisions are taken by correspondence.

The scope of the competence transferred to the Community is indicated in general terms in a written declaration made by the European Community at the time of the signature of this Protocol.
This declaration may be modified as appropriate by notification from the European Community to EUROCONTROL. It does not replace or in any way limit the matters that may be covered by the notifications of Community competence to be made prior to EUROCONTROL decision-making by means of formal voting or otherwise.
