12. CHALLENGES

13. CHALLENGES FRAGMENTATION DELAYS OVERLAPS IN LEGISLATION
ACHIEVEMENT OF PERFORMANCE GOALS
DEPLOYMENT OF BASIC ELEMENTS
OVERLAPS IN LEGISLATION

14. CHALLENGES
“QUANTITATIVE RESULTS ARE STILL BELOW EXPECTATIONS” European Court of Auditors
0.5min PER FLIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN REACHED
ATFM DELAYS IN 2016 HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN IN 2008 HOWEVER, DELAYS GROWING SINCE 2013

15. CHALLENGES
BETWEEN 2011 AND 2016 ACTUAL UNIT RATE EXPERIENCED AN ACCUMULATED TOTAL REDUCTION OF ONLY 4%
(ACTUAL TRAFFIC BELOW THAT FORECAST )
ENVIRONMENTAL KPI HAS BEEN ON A NEGATIVE TREND SINCE 2014

16. CHALLENGES SHORTCOMINGS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE AND CHARGING SCHEMES
LACK OF LINK BETWEEN PERFORMANCE SCHEME TARGETS AND SES HIGH LEVEL GOALS
KPIs ARE NOT ALWAYS FIT FOR PURPOSE
LENGTHY AND COMPLEX DECISION MAKING PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE TARGETS
WEAK MONITORING OF PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND UNIT RATES

17. CHALLENGES
“FABs PROMOTED COOPERATION STRUCTURES, NOT DEFRAGMENTATION” European Court of Auditors
SES I (INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT) VS SES II (ENHANCED COOPERATION)
SES II ELIMINATED THE REQUIREMENT OF THE EUIR TO BE CONFIGURED IN FABs

18. CHALLENGES MEMBER STATES ARE CONCERNED ABOUT PRESERVING SOVEREIGNTY
LEGACY OF ANSP
PRESERVING REVENUES
WORKFORCE

19. ATCOS’ VIEWS

20. ATCOS’ VIEWS KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS
DISPROPORTIONED FOCUS ON COST- EFFICIENCY AT THE DETRIMENT OF OTHER KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS (SUCH AS SAFETY)
TARGETS SET BY EC ARE NOT FLEXIBLE AND NOT REALISTIC

21. ATCOS’ VIEWS NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN FAVOUR OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES
MANY CONCERNED THAT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY IS BEING SPENT ON PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE ONLY MARGINAL BENEFITS TO THE OPERATION
DO NOT TARGET THE REAL PROBLEMS OF SES
LACK OF SOCIAL DIALOGUE IN DEVELOPMENT STAGES

22. ATCOS’ VIEWS COST SAVING
PRESSURED TO WORK UNDER NON-OPTIMUM CONDITIONS, AS ANSPs ARE RELUCTANT TO INCREASE THE CONTROLLER WORKFORCE
LACK OF SOCIAL DIALOGUE WITH WORKERS INVOLVED IN THE DAY-TO-DAY RUNNING OF ATM

23. ATCOS’ VIEWS
SES 2+
LIBERALISATION PROCESS AND MARKET LIBERALISATION BY THE SES 2+ COULD LEAD TO
REDUCTION IN SAFETY
INCREASE IN INEFFICIENCIES
LOSS OF JOBS/SOCIAL UNREST
FEAR OF THE CREATION OF SUPER-MONOPOLY AT EU LEVEL
