2 Business Environment  Cooperations and alliances between ANSPs will grow  Benchmarking and competition for markets/functions will increase  Non-core functions come under market conditions („unbundling“ of services/managed services/centres of competence etc.)  Social dialogue will become international and more and more important

3 Institutional framework  Separation between service provision and regulatory/supervisory functions become stricter  Safety and economy regulation will be concentrated on EU- level (Commission, EASA etc.)  Environment will become an equal important issue as cost- efficiency and punctuality  Eurocontrol will be reorganized as mandated/supporting/ expert’s organisation for EU Commission and service provider for ANSPs (CFMO, CRCO, EAD)  New airspace structure according to optimized needs of aviation will be established (FABs) – bottom up or top down
