2. ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV02
Explanation
It concerns Collaborative Environment Management (CEM) at airports
Formal working partnership arrangements between ANSP, Airport and Aircraft Operators will be established at individual airports to enable :
the minimisation of noise and atmospheric emissions (including fuel burn); and
the management of aircraft and airfield de-icing resulting from combined aircraft operations at the terminal airspace and ground.
These formal working arrangements will enable understanding and awareness of interdependencies and facilitate jointly agreed solutions for environmental improvements.

3. What has changed since LSSIP 2014 ?
A newly published legal requirement has been added:
Regulation (EU) 598/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the establishment of rules and procedures with regard to the introduction of noise-related operating restrictions at Union airports within a Balanced Approach and repealing Directive 2002/30/EC.
Supporting material has been updated
The CEM Guidelines document was replaced by the EUROCONTROL Specification for Collaborative Environmental Management (CEM) - 1.0

4. Link to European ATM Master Plan
OI step - [AO-0703]-Aircraft Noise Management and Mitigation at and around Airports
Description: To ensure that local decisions on achieving the optimum environmental performance from aircraft operations at and around airports, by the most appropriate balance between social, economic and environmental imperatives. A key aim will be to balance sometimes conflicting needs for noise and atmospheric emission reduction.
A correctly balanced environmental regime at an airport can help to ensure that the Legal compliance is maintained, the rules are harmonised to the extent possible, the global and local impacts are minimised to the extent possible, non optimal environmental procedures and constraints are not applied and where such constraints are being considered, the least damaging options are selected. The optimum environmental efficiency and capacity can be achieved at and around airports through the collaborative local selection of the most appropriate ATM capabilities and OIs available, within an overarching and harmonising framework.

5. Link to European ATM Master Plan
OI step - [AO-0705]-Reduced Water Pollution
Description: De-icing stations are created where the fluids, spoiled on the apron, can be collected and treated. Furthermore, technical solutions for the bio-degradation of de-icing fluids are implemented. Application techniques are developed in collaboration with airlines to improve the anti-icing treatment on aircraft at the stands so that the amount of glycol released in the storm water can be reduced.

6. Link to European ATM Master Plan
OI step - [AO-0706]-(Local) Monitoring of Environmental Performance
Description: The environmental performance (compliance to operational procedures, key performance indicators) of ATM stakeholders at the airport is recorded and monitored in support of continuous improvement process. In particular, it is possible to determine the amount of airport related versus external pollution. This improvement involves use of noise monitoring systems, flight tracking and air quality monitoring systems.

7. Most important SLoA(s)
ENV02-ASP01 & APO01:
A regular (minimum twice per annum) CEM group meeting takes place that has the full backing of top management;
The CEM group is always attended by representatives of the Airport Operator, the Aircraft Operators (a minimum of the lead carrier or sufficient carriers to cover 50%+ of movements) and the ANSP;
A shared environmental vision for the airport has been agreed by all core Stakeholders and plans for its delivery have been agreed;
Regular joint progress reports against SMART objectives/targets are made through appropriate channels.
ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV02

8. Most important SLoA(s)
ENV02-APO02
In accordance with locally agreed CEM priorities, ensure the availability of timely, accurate and relevant environmental information at Airports
This may entail investment in appropriate environmental monitoring or modelling systems at Airports to record and monitor noise, emissions, air quality, etc.
Data availability is essential in support of the continuous performance improvement process.
ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV02

9. Finalisation Criteria and Closed Questions
ENV02-ASP01 & APO01:
If a shared environmental vision for the airport has been agreed by all core Stakeholders and plans for its delivery available, what are the main priority mitigation[1] measure(s) to be covered?
Please provide at least one – only titles are required: [1] For example: Noise track adherence, CDO, Auxiliary Power Unit controls, joint community relations, noise abatement procedures, airfield fuel and emissions reduction, joint support for airport growth plans and so on. More information can be found in the EUROCONTROL Specification for collaborative Environmental Management (CEM) at
ENV02-AOP02:
Environmental monitoring or information systems are implemented and functioning
ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV02

10. Objective’s completion criteria
Partially completed: The CEM working arrangement has been established and is formulating a shared environmental vision; but no further actions have been taken yet.
Completed: CDO is established as an operational procedure and procedures were formally published. A working arrangement to track performance and seek improvement has been established and environmental monitoring or information systems are implemented and functioning.

ESSIP Report 2014
Stakeholders matters
Two states declared that the Objective is not applicable to them, although they are in the Applicability Area of this Objective (EDDN-Berlin Brandenburg International and EGPF-Glasgow). Berlin Brandenburg International Airport is not yet open to traffic and Glasgow Airport might have misinterpreted the Objective. NATS (ANSP) has declared the Objective completed for its Actions.
Main reasons for delay
Reasons for delay are a backlog of initiating formal working partnership agreements for CEM and the establishment of a CEM Team by the Airport Operators (EGGD, EGPH, LGAV, LIMC, LIPZ, LQSA, LTAI).
Some Airport Operators still need to conduct or finalise the training of their operational staff (EBBR, EETN, EGGD, EGGW, EGKK, EGPF, EPWA, EYVI, LGAV, LQSA).
Some other Airport Operators still need to ensure implementation of an appropriate Airport Policy and procedures (EGLC, EYVI, LGAV, LIRF, LQSA, LSGG, LSZH).
ESSIP Plan 2015 / Objective ENV02

12. Objective Coordinator’s Analysis
States need to indicate and describe effective progress in the SLoAs for all and each airport before declaring it as “Completed” or even “Partially Completed”.
The Objective is closely linked to CDO procedures prescribed in Objective ENV01. State Focal Points should ensure that there is no deviation on the implementation status between Objectives ENV01 and ENV02 for each stakeholder. In case there is deviation, a thorough justification should be made explaining the reasons.
Airports should enhance the implementation to be better synchronised with the ANSP
Military Aircraft Operators who do not make use of a Civil Airport should declare “Not Applicable” and justify it.
Air Airport Operators who cannot yet plan the Objective, should declare “NO PLAN” and duly justify this status.
