5 Performance Review Commission PRR Safety (EUROCONTROL Confidentiality Policy) Recommendation d. The Provisional Council is invited to request the Director General to ensure the prompt implementation of the decision taken in May 2007 where PC 27 invited the Director General to undertake a review of EUROCONTROLs publication and confidentiality policy, to ensure the appropriate balance between confidentiality and transparency of safety information. EUROCONTROL publication and confidentiality policy in relation to safety data (EAM 2/GUI 2 of ) addresses the sharing of safety information between ATM service providers, the reporting of safety information to ATM regulators and the provision of safety information to the public, including those provided to the PRC. As a result of this policy, the PRC only receives disidentified, high-level safety data, which does not allow the PRC to review safety performance contrary to the provisions of Article xx of the Revised Convention. Upon a PRC recommendation, the Provisional Council (PC 27, May 2007) requested the Director General to undertake a review of EUROCONTROLs publication and confidentiality policy, to ensure the appropriate balance between confidentiality and transparency of safety information upon recommendation from the PRC. To the PRCs knowledge, this decision has not been acted upon so far.
