Preamble
HAVING REGARD that the Single European Sky (SES) initiative was launched in order to enhance current air traffic safety standards, to contribute to the sustainable development of the air transport system and to improve the overall performance of air traffic management and air navigation services for general air traffic in Europe, with a view to meeting the requirements of all airspace users;
WHEREAS the SES objectives are to be inter alia implemented through functional airspace blocks based on operational requirements and established regardless of State boundaries, with the air navigation services being performance-driven and optimised with a view to introducing enhanced cooperation among air navigation service providers;
ACKNOWLEDGING that the Central Europe airspace is of significant importance in the European air traffic management and any improvements achieved in its design, management or in the provision of air navigation services will contribute to a better flow of traffic not only in Central Europe;
DESIRING not to limit implementation of the SES to EU Member States only and to support its application to countries which are not members of the European Union;
RECOGNIZING that the conclusion of an Agreement regarding the establishment and implementation of a Functional Airspace Block shall not prejudice the principle that every State has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory or the capacity of every State to exercise its prerogatives with regard to security and defence in its national airspace;
RECOGNISING that the national supervisory authority (NSA) of each Contracting State shall establish appropriate arrangements for a close cooperation with each other to ensure an adequate supervision of air navigation service providers that hold a valid certificate and that provide air navigation services in the airspace that falls under the responsibility of Contracting States;
RECOGNISING each Contracting State’s discretion in delineating the scope of airspace and in determining air navigation services to be covered under this Agreement;
EXPRESSING their will to cooperate in the implementation of the SES so that its objectives can be achieved and airspace users may benefit from its implementation;
RESPECTING the conditions stemming from regional agreements concluded with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and respecting regional agreements in existence on the date of entry into force of the Service Provision Regulation;
AIMING at the creation of the legal and institutional basis for a Functional Airspace Block Central Europe (FAB CE) to be established between the Contracting States;
RESPECTING that the FAB CE establishment is without prejudice to the flight information regions (FIRs) as recognized by the ICAO and that the Contracting States will retain the responsibilities towards the ICAO within the geographical limits of the FIRs entrusted to them by ICAO.
hereby agree as follows:
