of 10 August 2011

(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 February 2008 on common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Aviation Safety Agency, and repealing Council Directive 91/670/EEC, Regulation (EC) No 1592/2002 and Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 8c(10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 aims at establishing and maintaining a high uniform level of civil aviation safety in Europe. That Regulation provides for the means of achieving that objective and other objectives in the field of civil aviation safety. |
(2) |
The implementation of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008, as well as the new Single European Sky II legislation (2) requires the establishment of more detailed implementing rules, in particular concerning the licensing of air traffic controllers, in order to maintain a high uniform level of civil aviation safety in Europe, to achieve the highest standards of responsibility and competence, to improve the availability of air traffic controllers and to promote the mutual recognition of licences while pursuing the objective of an overall improvement in air traffic safety and competence of personnel. |
(3) |
Air traffic controllers as well as persons and organisations involved in the training, testing, checking or medical assessment of those air traffic controllers, have to comply with the relevant essential requirements set out in Annex Vb to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. According to that Regulation air traffic controllers as well as persons and organisations involved in their training should be certified or licensed once they have been found to comply with the essential requirements. |
(4) |
The licence introduced by Directive 2006/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on a Community air traffic controller licence (3) has proved to be as a successful tool for recognising the specific role which air traffic controllers play in the safe provision of air traffic control. The establishment of Union-wide competence standards has reduced fragmentation in this field, making for more efficient organisation of work in the framework of growing regional collaboration between air navigation service providers. Therefore, maintaining and enhancing the common licensing scheme for air traffic controllers in the Union is an essential element of the European air traffic control system. |
(5) |
Directive 2006/23/EC has been repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). However, the provisions of Directive 2006/23/EC continue to apply until the date of application of the measures referred to in Article 8c(10) of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008. This Regulation provides for those measures. |
(6) |
The provisions of this Regulation reflect the state of the art, including best practices and scientific and technical progress, in the field of air traffic controller training. They have been developed on the basis of Directive 2006/23/EC and provide for the Member States a common transposition of the Standards and Recommended Practices set by the Convention on International Civil Aviation, signed in Chicago on 7 December 1944 and the Safety Regulatory Requirements adopted by the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) set up by the International Convention of 13 December... |
