COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2022/2417

of 26 July 2022

on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Union, of the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91, in conjunction with Article 218(6)(a) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Having regard to the consent of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

(1)

In accordance with Council Decision (EU) 2022/1165 (2) the Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road (the ‘Agreement’) was signed on 29 June 2022, subject to its conclusion at a later date.

(2)

In view of the important disruptions in the transport sector in the Republic of Moldova caused by the war of aggression undertaken by Russia against Ukraine, it is necessary for operators from the Republic of Moldova to find alternative transit routes by road through the European Union and to find new markets to export their goods.

(3)

Given that permits granted in the framework of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport multilateral quota system within the International Transport Forum and existing bilateral agreements with the Republic of Moldova do not allow for the necessary flexibility for road haulage operators from the Republic of Moldova to plan ahead for and increase their operations through and with the Union, it is crucial to liberalise the transport of freight by road for bilateral operations as well as for transit.

(4)

In view of the exceptional and unique circumstances that necessitate the signature, provisional application and conclusion of the Agreement, and in accordance with the Treaties, it is appropriate for the Union to exercise temporarily the relevant shared competence conferred upon it by the Treaties. Any effect of this Decision on the division of competences between the Union and the Member States should be strictly limited in time. The competence exercised by the Union on the basis of this Decision and of the Agreement should therefore only be exercised with respect to the period of application of the Agreement. Accordingly, the shared competence thus exercised will cease to be exercised by the Union as soon as the Agreement ceases to apply. Without prejudice to other Union measures, and subject to compliance with those Union measures, that competence will, in accordance with Article 2(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), again be exercised by the Member States thereafter. Furthermore, it is recalled that, as set out in Protocol No 25 on the exercise of shared competence annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the TFEU, the scope of the exercise of the competence of the Union in this Decision covers only those elements governed by this Decision and the Agreement and does not cover the whole area. The exercise of Union competence by this Decision is without prejudice to the respective competences of the Union and of the Member States in relation to any ongoing or future negotiations for, or signature or conclusion of, international agreements with any other third country in that area.

(5)

The Agreement should be approved on behalf of the Union,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Moldova on the carriage of freight by road is hereby approved on behalf of the Union (3).

Article 2

1.   The exercise of Union competence pursuant to this Decision and the Agreement shall be limited to the period of application of the Agreement. Without prejudice to other Union measures, and subject to compliance with those Union measures, after the end of that period of application the Union shall immediately cease to exercise that competence and the Member States shall again exercise their competence in accordance with Article 2(2) TFEU.

2.   The exercise of Union competence pursuant to this Decision and the Agreement shall be without prejudice to the competence of the Member States concerning any ongoing or future negotiations for, or signature or conclusion of, international agreements related to the carriage of goods by road with any other third country, and with the Republic of Moldova with respect to the period after the Agreement has ceased to apply.

3.   The exercise of the competence by the Union referred to in paragraph 1 covers only the elements governed by this Decision and the Agreement.

4.   This Decision and the Agreement are without prejudice to the respective competences of the Union and the Member States in the area of carriage of goods by road with regard to elements other than those governed by this Decision and the Agreement.

Article 3

The President of the Council shall, on behalf of the Union, give the notification provided for in Article 12 of the Agreement.

Article 4

The European Commission, assisted by the representatives of the Member States as observers, shall represent the Union within the Joint Committee set up pursuant to Article 6 of the Agreement.

Article 5

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

REGULATION (EU) 2022/2419 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 6 December 2022

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/378 on the application of minimum reserve requirements (ECB/2021/1) (ECB/2022/43)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular to Article 19(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2531/98 of 23 November 1998 concerning the application of minimum reserves by the European Central Bank (1),

Whereas:

(1)

Minimum reserves have until now been remunerated at the European Central Bank’s (ECB) main refinancing operations rate. In order to align the minimum reserves remuneration more closely with money market conditions, the Governing Council decided on 27 October 2022 to set such remuneration at the Eurosystem’s deposit facility rate (DFR). Under the prevailing market and liquidity conditions, the DFR better reflects the rate at which funds may be invested in money market instruments if not held as minimum reserves and the rate at which banks may borrow funds in the money market to fulfil minimum reserves. The change in the remuneration of minimum reserves seeks to ensure that the Eurosystem minimum reserves system neither puts a burden on the banking system in the euro area, nor hinders the efficient allocation of resources. In order to ensure an effective transition, the remuneration change should be aligned with the beginning of the maintenance period, starting on 21 December 2022.

(2)

To ensure legal clarity and transparency, as a follow-up to the Governing Council’s decision on 17 February 2022 to review the remuneration of non-monetary policy deposits at Eurosystem level, it is appropriate to also define the remuneration treatment of funds initially included in holdings of minimum reserves that are subsequently considered to fulfil the conditions of Article 3(1)(d) of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2021/1) (2), and thus are excluded from an institution’s reserve holdings under that act.

(3)

This Regulation should apply from 21 December 2022.

(4)

Therefore, Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1) should be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Amendment

Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2021/378 (ECB/2021/1) is replaced by the following:

‘Article 9

Remuneration

1.   The relevant NCB shall remunerate holdings of minimum reserves in the reserve accounts at the average, taken over the maintenance period, of the Eurosystem’s deposit facility rate (weighted according to the number of calendar days) according to the following formula (whereby the result is rounded to the nearest cent):

Where:

Rt

=

remuneration to be paid on holdings of minimum reserves for the maintenance period t;

Ht

=

average daily holdings of minimum reserves for the maintenance period t;

nt

=

number of calendar days in the maintenance period t;

rt

=

rate of remuneration on holdings of minimum reserves for the maintenance period t; standard rounding of the rate of remuneration to two decimals shall be applied;

i

=

ith calendar day of the maintenance period t;

DFRi

=

the deposit facility rate on each day i of the maintenance period.

2.   The relevant NCB shall pay the remuneration on the holdings of minimum reserves on the second TARGET2 business day following the end of the maintenance period over which the remuneration was earned.

3.   Funds included in holdings of minimum reserves that are subsequently excluded from those minimum reserves pursuant to Article 3(1)(d) shall be remunerated by the relevant NCB in accordance with the rules applicable to non-monetary policy deposits in Guideline (EU) 2019/671 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2019/7) (*1), with effect from the date the specific condition of Article 3(1)(d) applies, as determined by the relevant NCB.

Article 2

Final provisions

This Regulation shall enter into force on the fifth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 21 December 2022.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in the Member States in accordance with the Treaties.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/2420

of 1 December 2022

amending the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 concerning emergency measures in relation to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in certain Member States

(notified under document C(2022) 8991)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/429 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016 on transmissible animal diseases and amending and repealing certain acts in the area of animal health (‘Animal Health Law’) (1), and in particular Article 259(1), point (c), thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is an infectious viral disease in birds and may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming causing disturbance to trade within the Union and exports to third countries. HPAI viruses can infect migratory birds, which can then spread these viruses over long distances during their autumn and spring migrations. Therefore, the presence of HPAI viruses in wild birds poses a continuous threat for the direct and indirect introduction of these viruses into establishments where poultry or captive birds are kept. In the event of an outbreak of HPAI, there is a risk that the disease agent may spread to other establishments where poultry or captive birds are kept.

(2)

Regulation (EU) 2016/429 establishes a new legislative framework for the prevention and control of diseases that are transmissible to animals or humans. HPAI falls within the definition of a listed disease in that Regulation, and it is subject to the disease prevention and control rules laid down therein. In addition, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687 (2) supplements Regulation (EU) 2016/429 as regards the rules for the prevention and control of certain listed diseases, including disease control measures for HPAI.

(3)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 (3) was adopted within the framework of Regulation (EU) 2016/429 and it lays down emergency measures at Union level in relation to outbreaks of HPAI.

(4)

More particularly, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 provides that the protection, surveillance and further restricted zones established by the Member States following outbreaks of HPAI, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, are to comprise at least the areas listed as protection, surveillance and further restricted zones in the Annex to that Implementing Decision.

(5)

The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 was recently amended by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2322 (4) following outbreaks of HPAI in poultry or captive birds in Belgium, Germany, Ireland, France, Croatia, Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands that needed to be reflected in that Annex.

(6)

Since the date of adoption of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2322, Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands have notified the Commission of further outbreaks of HPAI in establishments where poultry or captive birds were kept, located in the Monaghan County in Ireland, in the Bretagne, Centre-Val de Loire, Hauts-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie and Pays de la Loire administrative regions in France, in the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy Regions in Italy, in the Bács-Kiskun, Békés and Csongrád-Csanád Counties in Hungary and in the Friesland, Zuid-Holland and Limburg Provinces in the Netherlands.

(7)

The competent authorities of Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary and the Netherlands have taken the necessary disease control measures required in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, including the establishment of protection and surveillance zones around those outbreaks.

(8)

In addition, the competent authority of France decided to establish further restricted zones in addition to the protection and surveillance zones established for certain outbreaks located in that Member State.

(9)

Moreover, one outbreak confirmed in the Netherlands is located in close proximity to the border with Germany. Accordingly, the competent authorities of these Member States have duly collaborated with regard to the establishment of the necessary surveillance zone, in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as the surveillance zone extends into the territory of Germany.

(10)

Furthermore, the outbreak confirmed in Ireland is again located in close proximity to the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In accordance with the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (‘Withdrawal Agreement’), and in particular Article 5(4) of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland in conjunction with Annex 2 to that Protocol, Regulation (EU) 2016/429, as well as the Commission acts based on it, apply to and in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland after the end of the transition period provided for in the Withdrawal Agreement.

(11)

Consequently, the emergency measures laid down in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 apply in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland. Therefore, the competent authorities of Ireland and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland have duly collaborated with regard to the establishment of the necessary protection and surveillance zones in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as the protection and surveillance zones related to the outbreak confirmed in Ireland extend into the territory of the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland.

(12)

The Commission has examined the disease control measures taken by Germany, Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, in collaboration with those Member States and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, and it is satisfied that the boundaries of the protection and surveillances zones in Germany, Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and in the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, established by the competent authority of those Member States and of the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland are at a sufficient distance from the establishments where the outbreaks of HPAI have been confirmed.

(13)

In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbance to trade within the Union and to avoid unjustified barriers to trade being imposed by third countries, it is necessary to rapidly describe at Union level, in collaboration with Germany, Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, the protection and surveillance zones duly established by these Member States and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, as well as the further restricted zones established by France.

(14)

Therefore, the areas listed as protection and surveillance zones for Germany, Ireland, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and for the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, as well as the areas listed as further restricted zones for France in the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 should be amended.

(15)

Accordingly, the Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 should be amended to update regionalisation at Union level to take account of the protection and surveillance zones duly established by Germany, Ireland, France, Italy, Hungary, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in respect of Northern Ireland, and of the further restricted zones established by France in accordance with Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/687, and the duration of the measures applicable therein.

(16)

Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(17)

Given the urgency of the epidemiological situation in the Union as regards the spread of HPAI, it is important that the amendments to be made to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 by this Decision take effect as soon as possible.

(18)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The Annex to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/641 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2421

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Greece pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8733)

(Only the Greek text is authentic)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3) point (c), thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up performance plans, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’), which have to include binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets have to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). Since those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On that basis, in October 2021, Member States submitted to the Commission draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In that Decision, the Commission found that the en route cost-efficiency and capacity performance targets included in the draft performance plan for RP3 of the Hellenic Republic (‘Greece’) are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

On 13 July 2022, Greece submitted a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’).

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the revised draft performance plan of Greece.

(8)

In accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Regulation, and taking account of local circumstances. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast published in June 2022 takes account of the change in circumstances with respect to air traffic in European airspace. On the basis of that forecast, the Commission notes that Greece is not foreseen to experience adverse changes in traffic over RP3 as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(10)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Greece regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) in accordance with point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(11)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Greece in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

Greece

Targets on the effectiveness of safety management, expressed as a level of implementation, ranging from European Union Aviation Safety Agency level A to D

(12)

The safety performance targets proposed by Greece for the air navigation service provider, namely Hellenic Aviation Service Provider (‘HASP’), are consistent with the Union-wide performance target.

(13)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance plan submitted by Greece sets out measures for HASP for the achievement of the local safety targets, including measures relating to the training of staff, the reporting and investigation of occurrences, the conduct of safety management system audits, safety surveys, and change management.

(14)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 11, 12 and 13 and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 are to be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets in the key performance area of safety included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(15)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Greece regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed in accordance with point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available on 2 June 2021, the date of adoption of the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3.

(16)

In respect of the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, in so far as the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, it is not possible to modify retroactively, in the revised draft performance plans, the local environment performance targets for year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(17)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Greece and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

Greece

2022

2023

2024

1,92  %

1,92  %

1,92  %

Reference values

1,92  %

1,92  %

1,92  %

(18)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Greece are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(19)

The Commission notes that, in its revised draft performance plan, Greece has presented measures for the achievement of the local environment targets which mainly fulfil already existing legal requirements under Union law and include a performance-based navigation transition plan, air traffic service route improvements and the implementation of a 24-hour free route airspace.

(20)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 17, 18 and 19, the targets the key performance area of environment included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(21)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 the Commission concluded that the proposed en route capacity targets included in the draft performance plan of Greece submitted in 2021, regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight, were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Greece has proposed revised en route capacity targets as part of its revised draft performance plan.

(22)

In respect of the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, in so far as the period for the application of that target had expired and its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, it is not possible to modify retroactively, in the revised draft performance plans, the local capacity performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(23)

The following table sets out the initial RP3 draft en route capacity performance targets for the charging zone of Greece, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, the revised performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan, and the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan available on 2 June 2021, the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3.

The consistency of the revised en route capacity targets submitted by Greece has been assessed in accordance with point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, by comparing those targets with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available on 2 June 2021. The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Greece are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(25)

The Commission notes that Greece has presented measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets in its revised draft performance plan. Those measures include an increase in the number of air traffic controller full time equivalents by the end of RP3, the introduction of a new ATM system and the implementation of 24-hour free route airspace.

(26)

The Commission considers that Greece has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 2 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its capacity performance targets.

(27)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 23 to 26, the targets in the key performance area of capacity included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Review of capacity targets for terminal air navigation services

(28)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route capacity targets by reviewing the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1.(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(29)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission raised concerns regarding the terminal capacity targets proposed by Greece in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and considered that Greece should further justify those targets or revise them downwards.

(30)

The Commission found that the terminal capacity targets of Greece remain unchanged in the revised draft performance plan. However, the Commission notes that Greece has duly justified and substantiated those performance targets, including by providing additional information on capacity enhancement measures to improve arrival ATFM delay performance during RP3. Furthermore, Greece reports that it has initiated a close collaboration with the Network Manager to improve arrival ATFM performance at several airports, including the airport of Athens. Having regard to the justifications provided by Greece, the Commission does not have any further observations on the terminal capacity targets contained in its revised draft performance plan.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(31)

By Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 the Commission concluded that the proposed en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan of Greece submitted in 2021 were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Greece has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets as part of its revised draft performance plan.

(32)

The following table sets out the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Greece, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted in 2022:

26,96 EUR

27,98 EUR

(33)

The Commission observes that Greece has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Those targets result, when compared to the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) which is 16,1 % lower over 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 11,6 % lower over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC reductions result both from the updated traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 and from the downward revision of the determined costs, expressed in real terms in 2017 prices, for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(34)

The Commission notes that the traffic forecast used in the revised draft performance plan is based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast. The changes to the traffic forecast for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 are presented in the following table:

(38)

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed by Greece in accordance with points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(39)

As regards point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of +4,8 % over RP3 underperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this, however, constitutes an improvement from the DUC trend of +9,1 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan of Greece submitted in 2021.

(40)

As regards point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over the second reference period (‘RP2’) and RP3 of -1,3 % meets the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes an improvement from the DUC trend of +0,5 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plans submitted in 2021.

(41)

As regards point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the EUR 23,20 baseline value for the DUC of Greece expressed in 2017 prices is 18,9 % lower than the EUR 28,59 average baseline value in EUR2017 of the relevant comparator group.

(42)

As specified in recital 40, it is clear that Greece’s revised cost-efficiency targets result in a long-term DUC trend over RP2 and RP3 which meets the corresponding Union-wide trend. Furthermore, the 2019 Greek baseline value is lower than the corresponding comparator group average by a considerable margin. Finally, the Commission notes that Greece has revised downwards the determined costs for RP3 both in real and nominal terms, whilst planning to serve additional traffic on the basis of the updated traffic forecast for RP3. Therefore, the Commission considers that, in respect of Greece, the deviation from the Union-wide RP3 DUC trend does not preclude the cost-efficiency performance targets from being consistent with the Union-wide cost-efficiency performance targets.

(43)

The Commission therefore notes that Greece has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728.

(44)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 32 to 43, the targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Review of revised cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services

(45)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Articles 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of the en route cost-efficiency targets by reviewing the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(46)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission raised concerns regarding the terminal cost-efficiency targets proposed by Greece in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and considered that Greece was to further justify those targets or revise them downwards. The Commission notes that Greece has revised those targets downwards for the years 2022 and 2023 and upwards for the year 2024, without providing due justifications.

(47)

The Commission observes that the terminal DUC trend of Greece of +7,7 % over RP3 remains higher than the actual terminal DUC trend of -3,9 % observed over RP2. Furthermore, the terminal RP3 DUC trend has worsened and is higher than the terminal DUC trend of +6,8 % observed in the draft performance plan of Greece submitted in 2021.

(48)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 46 and 47, the Commission concludes that the revised terminal cost-efficiency performance targets of Greece continue to give rise to concerns. The Commission therefore reiterates its view that Greece should revise downwards those targets or provide adequate justifications for those targets, including for the additional cost increases applied in the year 2024. The Commission invites Greece to address those concerns in connection with the adoption of its final performance plan in accordance with Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

Review of the incentive schemes referred to in Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 complementing the Commission’s assessment of capacity targets

(49)

In accordance with point 2.1(f) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has complemented its assessment of capacity targets by reviewing the incentive schemes referred to in Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. In that respect, the Commission has examined whether the proposed incentive schemes fulfil the substantive requirements set out in Article 11(1) and (3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(50)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission concluded that Greece is to revise its incentive schemes for achieving en route and terminal capacity targets in such a way that the maximum financial disadvantage stemming from those incentive schemes is set at a level having a material impact on the revenue at risk. The Commission notes that Greece has revised its incentive schemes for achieving en route and terminal capacity targets by setting the resulting maximum financial disadvantage at a level equal to 2 % and 1,5 % of determined costs respectively. That revision duly addresses the findings raised by the Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728. The Commission does not have any further observations on the incentive schemes included in the revised draft performance plan of Greece.

CONCLUSIONS

(51)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission finds that the performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Greece are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Greece pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2422

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Cyprus pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8719)

(Only the Greek text is authentic)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3) point (c), thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up performance plans, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’), which have to include binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets have to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). As those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On this basis, Member States submitted to the Commission, in October 2021, draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In respect of the draft performance plan for RP3 of Cyprus, the Commission found that the en route capacity and cost-efficiency performance targets are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

Cyprus submitted, on 13 July 2022, a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’) for assessment to the Commission.

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the revised draft performance plan.

(8)

Pursuant to Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets contained in the revised performance plan on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, and taking account of local circumstances. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast published in June 2022 takes account of the changed circumstances referred to in recital (5). Based on that forecast, the Commission notes that Cyprus is not foreseen to experience adverse changes in traffic over RP3 as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

(10)

As Cyprus does not have any airport falling within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 in respect of RP3, there are no local performance targets for terminal air navigation services as part of its revised draft performance plan. Therefore, the findings contained in this Decision relate solely to en route air navigation services.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(11)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Cyprus regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) based on the criterion laid down in point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(12)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Cyprus in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

(13)

The safety performance targets proposed by Cyprus for the air navigation service provider, namely CYPRUS Air Navigation Services (‘CYATS’), are in line with the Union-wide performance targets for each year of the reference period.

(14)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance sets out measures for CYATS for the achievement of the local safety targets, such as the review and update of change management processes, guidelines on just culture policies, and additional staff for the purpose of supporting the realisation of safety objectives.

(15)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (12) to (14), and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 must be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(16)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Cyprus regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets contained in the revised draft performance plan have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, that is on 2 June 2021.

(17)

In respect of the 2020 calendar year, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local environment performance targets for 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(18)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Cyprus and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

Cyprus

2022

2023

3,84 %

(19)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Cyprus are equal to the corresponding national reference values for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(20)

The Commission notes that Cyprus has presented, in the revised draft performance plan, measures for the achievement of the local environment performance targets, which mainly fulfil already existing legal requirements under Union law and include a performance-based navigation transition plan by 2024, the implementation of Free Route Airspace Cyprus (‘NICFRA’) Phase 1 in March 2023 between flight levels 205 and 660, as well as continued improvements of the route network within the Nicosia flight information region.

(21)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (18), (19) and (20), the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of environment.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(22)

The Commission concluded in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 that the proposed en route capacity targets included in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight, were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Cyprus has proposed revised en route capacity targets as part of its revised draft performance plan.

(23)

In respect of the 2020 calendar year, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local capacity performance targets for 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(24)

The table below shows the initial RP3 draft en route capacity performance targets for the charging zone of Cyprus, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, the revised performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan, and the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, that is on 2 June 2021.

The consistency of the revised en route capacity targets submitted by Cyprus has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, by comparing those targets with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available on 2 June 2021. The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Cyprus are equal to the corresponding national reference values for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(26)

The Commission notes that Cyprus has presented in the revised draft performance plan measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets. Those measures include the recruitment of new air traffic controllers (‘ATCOs’) enabling an increase of the number of ATCO full-time equivalents in service at the area control centre. In particular, Cyprus reports in the revised draft performance plan that an agreement with staff representative bodies was reached in December 2021 in order to improve ATCO training and increase flexibility of ATCO working time. The Commission also observes that Cyprus has revised its initial planning of ATCOs in operations for the 2022 and 2023 calendar years, resulting in an additional 4 FTEs planned for those two calendar years. In addition, the revised draft performance plan foresees major investments in the upgrade of ATM infrastructure to enable the operation of additional air traffic control sectors, the implementation of an operational excellence program in cooperation with the Network Manager, airspace restructuring measures and measures to improve air traffic flow and capacity management.

(27)

The Commission observes that, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, Cyprus has presented additional relevant capacity enhancement measures which are also recommended in the Network Operations Plan of September 2021.

(28)

Having regard to the foregoing observations, the Commission considers that Cyprus has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 2 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its capacity performance targets.

(29)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (24) to (28), the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of capacity.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(30)

The Commission concluded in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 that the proposed en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021 were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Cyprus has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets as part of its revised draft performance plan.

(31)

The table below shows the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Cyprus, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted in 2022.

(32)

The Commission observes that Cyprus has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for the time period from 2022 to 2024, which results, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) lower by 9,7 % over those calendar years and lower by 6,6 % over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC reductions result both from the higher traffic forecast used in the revised draft performance plan for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years and from the downward revision of the determined costs expressed in real terms in 2017 prices for those calendar years.

(33)

The changes to the traffic forecast for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years are presented in the table below. The Commission notes that the traffic forecast used in the revised draft performance plan is based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast.

(37)

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed by Cyprus based on the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(38)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of +2,3 % over RP3 underperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this however constitutes an improvement from the DUC trend of +4,9 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plans submitted in 2021.

(39)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over RP2 and RP3 of -1,4 % outperforms the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes an improvement from the long-term DUC trend of -0,2 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(40)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the baseline value for the DUC of EUR 26,61 of Cyprus, expressed in 2017 prices, is 4,7 % lower than the average baseline value of EUR 27,91, expressed in 2017 prices, of the relevant comparator group.

(41)

As specified in recital (39), Cyprus’s revised cost-efficiency targets result in a long-term DUC trend which outperforms the corresponding Union-wide trend. Furthermore, Cyprus’s revised DUC for 2024 is lower than the baseline value for 2014, which demonstrates a reduction of the DUC over RP2 and RP3. With reference to recital (40), Cyprus demonstrates a good cost-efficiency performance in respect of the baseline value for 2019, which is lower than the corresponding comparator group average. Finally, the Commission notes that Cyprus has reduced, in its revised draft performance plan, the determined costs for RP3 both in real and nominal terms, whilst planning to serve additional traffic on the basis of the updated traffic forecast for RP3. Therefore, the Commission considers that the deviation from the Union-wide RP3 DUC trend referred to in recital (38) does not preclude the establishment of consistency with the Union-wide cost-efficiency performance targets in respect of Cyprus.

(42)

The Commission therefore considers that Cyprus has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its cost-efficiency performance targets.

(43)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (31) to (42), the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency.

CONCLUSIONS

(44)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission has found that the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Cyprus, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2423

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Sweden pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8716)

(Only the Swedish text is authentic)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3), point (c) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up performance plans, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’) which have to include binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets have to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). Since those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On that basis, in October 2021, Member States submitted to the Commission draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In that Decision, the Commission found that the en route cost-efficiency performance targets included in the draft performance plan for RP3 of Sweden are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets, and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States, including Sweden, have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

On 13 July 2022, Sweden submitted a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’) for assessment to the Commission.

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the revised draft performance plan.

(8)

In accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation, and taking account of local circumstances. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast, published in June 2022, takes account of the change in circumstances referred to in recital 5. On the basis of that forecast, the Commission notes that Sweden continues to face a significantly deteriorated traffic outlook for the remainder of RP3 as a consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. As those changes in circumstances considerably impact the performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan, they should be taken into account in the assessment of the local performance targets included therein.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(10)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Sweden regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) based on the criterion laid down in point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(11)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Sweden for the main air navigation service provider, namely LFV, in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

(12)

The safety performance targets proposed by Sweden for LFV are in line with the Union-wide performance targets.

(13)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance plan does not set out specific measures for LFV for the achievement of the local safety targets. However, the plan presents general measures such as the monitoring and application of mitigating measures to manage specific risks, and the assessment via the safety management system of changes made to the functional system. Having regard to the assessment of the performance review body, the Commission notes that LFV is reported to have already achieved the level of the Union-wide targets and therefore Sweden has not set out additional measures for LFV for the achievement of those targets.

(14)

The safety targets proposed by Sweden for the providers of terminal air navigation services in the scope of the revised draft performance plan, namely ACR, SDATS, and AFAB, are also in line with the Union-wide performance targets. The Commission further notes that Sweden has set out measures for those ANSPs for the achievement of their safety performance targets.

(15)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 11, 12, 13 and 14, and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 must be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(16)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Sweden regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets included in the revised draft performance plan have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, that is on 2 June 2021.

(17)

In respect of the 2020 calendar year, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local environment performance targets for 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in their revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(18)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Sweden and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

(19)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Sweden are equal to the corresponding national reference values for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(20)

The Commission notes that Sweden has presented in the revised draft performance plan measures for the achievement of the local environment performance targets, which include the planned implementation of cross-border free route airspace with Poland.

(21)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 18, 19 and 20, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of environment.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(22)

Concerning the key performance area of capacity, the consistency of the targets submitted by Sweden regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets included in the revised draft performance plan have been compared with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, that is on 2 June 2021.

(23)

In respect of the 2020 calendar year, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local capacity performance targets for 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in their revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(24)

The en route capacity targets proposed by Sweden for RP3, expressed in minutes of ATFM delay per flight, as well as the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan, are as follows:

(25)

The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Sweden are equal to the corresponding national reference values for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years.

(26)

The Commission notes that Sweden has presented, in the revised draft performance plan, measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets. Those measures include the implementation of the Swedish Airspace Project (‘SWEA’) and an increase in air traffic controller (‘ATCO’) full-time equivalents in RP3 and beyond to accommodate future traffic demand, including for the purpose of anticipating planned ATCO retirements. The Commission notes that, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, the planned number of ATCO full-time equivalents in operations in the area control centres of Stockholm and Malmö has been revised downwards due to the change in circumstances outlined in recitals 5 and 9.

(27)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 24, 25 and 26, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of capacity.

Review of capacity targets for terminal air navigation services

(28)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Implementing Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route capacity targets by reviewing the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(b) of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation. Those targets were not found to raise concerns in respect of Sweden.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(29)

The Commission concluded in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 that the proposed en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan of Sweden submitted in 2021 were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Sweden has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets in its revised draft performance plan.

(30)

The table below sets out the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Sweden, as included in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised draft performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan.

The Commission observes that Sweden has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for 2022, 2023 and 2024, which results, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) higher by 8,2 % over those calendar years and higher by 7,1 % over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC increases result from the significant deterioration in the traffic forecast, which has been caused by the reduction of air traffic in Sweden’s airspace as a consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, as referred to in recitals 5 and 9. The lower number of forecasted service units for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years has however been partly offset by Sweden through a reduction of determined costs.

(32)

Furthermore, Sweden has applied an upward adjustment to the baseline value for 2014, whilst the baseline value for 2019 has been adjusted downwards. Sweden explains in the revised draft performance plan that the baseline values for 2014 and 2019 have been adjusted mainly in order to account for the impact of significant one-off amounts related to the actual pension costs recorded for those calendar years and which affect comparability with the determined costs of RP3. Furthermore, Sweden has applied two further adjustments to the baseline value for 2019, which have been justified by changes in the scope of the en route charging zone between the second reference period (‘RP2’) and RP3 and by a change in the method applied by Sweden for deducting public funding received by the ANSP from the route charges paid by users.

(33)

The Commission notes that the traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan are based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast. The en route service units forecasted for the charging zone for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years, in comparison with the figures included in the draft performance plan, are presented in the table below.

(34)

Compared to the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, the annual reductions in the number of service units for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years are in the approximate range of -11 % to -14 %. Accordingly, the en route service units for Sweden are expected to remain, in 2024, 11,1 % below their pre-pandemic level (calendar year 2019), whereas they were previously foreseen to exceed the pre-pandemic level by 3,1 % in the STATFOR base traffic forecast of October 2021.

(35)

However, as displayed in the table below, the flight movements in Swedish airspace operated under instrument flight rules (IFR) are not foreseen to decrease at the same rate as the en route service units. This discrepancy is due to the significant reduction of overflights, which on average generate proportionally higher numbers of en route service units than flights landing and departing from airports in Sweden.

The Commission hence notes that the workload of the ANSP, which is driven by the controlled flight movements, is not foreseen to diminish in correlation with the revenue reduction which stems from the lower number of en route service units.

(37)

The revised determined costs for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years, expressed in real terms in 2017 prices, are shown in the table below. The Commission notes that Sweden has revised downwards the determined costs in real terms for each of those calendar years.

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed by Sweden based on the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(41)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of +2,2 % over RP3 underperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The adjusted baseline value for 2019 set by Sweden, referred to in recital 32, impacts negatively the calculated DUC trend. The DUC trend of Sweden has deteriorated compared with the DUC trend of +0,2 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(42)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over RP2 and RP3 of -0,3 % underperforms the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The adjusted baseline value for 2014 set by Sweden, referred to in recital 32, impacts positively the calculated long-term DUC trend. The long-term DUC trend of Sweden has improved compared with the long-term DUC trend of +1,0 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(43)

As noted in recitals 33 and 34, the Commission recalls that Sweden’s service unit forecast for RP3 has been revised significantly downwards as a consequence of the traffic changes resulting from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. It is therefore necessary and appropriate to examine, for the purpose of the assessment criteria examined in recitals 41 and 42, whether Sweden would meet the Union-wide cost-efficiency trends in the absence of the severe traffic reduction for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years which is due to the changed circumstances.

(44)

The Commission has therefore recalculated Sweden’s DUC trend over RP3 and Sweden’s long-term DUC trend over RP2 and RP3 by making use of the Eurocontrol STATFOR base traffic forecast of October 2021. This recalculation results, for the en route charging zone of Sweden, in an adjusted DUC trend of -1,5 % over RP3 and in an adjusted long-term DUC trend of -1,9 %. Both of these adjusted trends are below the corresponding Union-wide DUC trends of +1,0 % and -1,3 % respectively. Hence, the Commission concludes that Sweden fulfils the assessment criteria examined in recitals 41 and 42 in the absence of the changes in traffic caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

(45)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the baseline value for the DUC at the level of the charging zone of Sweden of EUR 55,84 (expressed in 2017 prices) is 24,8 % higher than the average baseline value of 44,74 EUR2017 of the relevant comparator group.

(46)

The Commission acknowledges that the revised cost-efficiency targets for the charging zone of Sweden are higher than the initial targets included in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021. However, this deterioration is entirely due to the significantly lower traffic assumptions. When excluding the negative impact of the traffic changes resulting from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, it is clear that Sweden meets both the Union-wide DUC trend and the Union-wide long-term DUC trend.

(47)

Furthermore, as noted in recital 37, the Commission recalls that Sweden has reduced its determined costs in real terms for the remainder of RP3 in response to the deteriorated traffic assumptions. The Commission observes that those cost containment measures are, overall, commensurate with the lower number of IFR movements forecasted for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years, as presented in recital 35.

(48)

On balance, the Commission therefore considers that Sweden has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its local cost-efficiency performance targets.

(49)

On the basis of the findings in recitals 30 to 48, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency.

Review of revised cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services

(50)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Implementing Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route cost-efficiency targets by reviewing the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation.

(51)

In of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission raised concerns regarding the terminal cost-efficiency targets proposed by Sweden in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and considered that Sweden should further justify those targets or revise them downwards.

(52)

The Commission notes that Sweden has duly justified and substantiated, in the revised draft performance plan, its terminal cost efficiency targets, including by referring to the reduced number of flights in the terminal charging zone as compared to RP2 and the strong impact of air traffic controller retirements on the terminal cost base during RP3. The Commission does not have any further observations on the terminal cost-efficiency targets included in the revised draft performance plan.

CONCLUSIONS

(53)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission has found that the performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets, included in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Sweden pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2424

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Romania pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8740)

(Only the Romanian text is authentic)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the ‘Framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3) point (c), thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up performance plans, either at national level or at functional airspace blocks level (‘FAB’), which have to include binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets are to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). Since those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On that basis, in October 2021, Member States submitted to the Commission draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In that Decision, the Commission found that the en route cost-efficiency performance targets included in the draft performance plan for RP3 of Romania are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets, and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

On 13 July 2022, Romania submitted to the Commission a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’).

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its assessment of the revised draft performance plan.

(8)

In accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission, taking account of local circumstances, has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Regulation. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast published in June 2022 takes account of the change in circumstances with respect to air traffic in European airspace. On the basis of that forecast, the Commission notes that Romania is expected to have additional flight movements in its airspace during the rest of RP3 because of shifts in air traffic flows resulting from Russia’s war in Ukraine. However, that situation does not significantly change the operational conditions for air navigation services in Romania and does not have a detrimental impact on its revised draft performance plan.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(10)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Romania regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) in accordance with point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(11)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Romania in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

(12)

The safety performance targets proposed by Romania for the air navigation service provider, namely ROMATSA, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

(13)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance plan submitted by Romania sets out measures for ROMATSA for the achievement of the local safety targets, including the implementation of internal safety monitoring procedures and processes for continuous improvement of the effectiveness of safety management.

(14)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 11, 12 and 13 and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 are to be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets in the key performance area of safety included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(15)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Romania regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed in accordance with point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available on 2 June 2021, the date of adoption of the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3.

(16)

In respect of the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, in so far as the period for the application of that target had expired and its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, it is not possible to modify retroactively, in the revised draft performance plans, the local environment performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(17)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Romania and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

Romania

(18)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Romania are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(19)

The Commission notes that, in its revised draft performance plan, Romania has presented measures for the achievement of the local environment targets which include its participation in the South East Europe Free Route Airspace initiative, increased cross-border cooperation, a transition plan for the implementation of performance-based navigation, and changes in the configuration of operational sectors to improve airspace utilisation.

(20)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 17, 18 and 19, the targets in the key performance area of environment included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(21)

Concerning the key performance area of capacity, the consistency of the targets submitted by Romania regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight has been assessed in accordance with point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania have been compared with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available on 2 June 2021, the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3.

(22)

In respect of the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 in so far as the period for the application of that target had expired and its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, it is not possible to modify retroactively, in the revised draft performance plans, the local capacity performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(23)

The en route capacity targets proposed by Romania for RP3, expressed in minutes of ATFM delay per flight, as well as the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan, are as follows:

Romania

2023

2024

(24)

The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Romania are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each of the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(25)

The Commission notes that Romania has presented measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets in the revised draft performance plan. Those measures include the implementation of a new air traffic management system, airspace configuration focusing on the implementation of free route airspace and flexible use of airspace concepts, and the recruitment and training of new air traffic controllers.

(26)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 23, 24 and 25, the targets in the key performance area of capacity included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Review of capacity targets for terminal air navigation services

(27)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route capacity targets by reviewing the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1.(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Those targets were not found to raise concerns in respect of Romania.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(28)

By Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission concluded that the proposed en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan of Romania submitted in 2021 are inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Romania has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets in its revised draft performance plan.

(29)

The following table sets out the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Romania, as laid down in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted in 2022:

The Commission observes that Romania has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Those targets result, when compared to the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) which is 6,9 % lower over 2022, 2023 and 2024 and 5,4 % lower over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC reductions result from the upward revision of the traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, which are partly counterbalanced by an increase of the determined costs for the years 2023 and 2024.

(31)

The Commission notes that the traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan are based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast. The following table compares the en route service units forecasted for the charging zone for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, to the figures included in the draft performance plan:

(33)

The revised determined costs for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, expressed in real terms in 2017 prices, are set out in the following table:

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed by Romania in accordance with the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(37)

As regards point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of +0,8 % over RP3 outperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes an improvement from the DUC trend of +2,9 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(38)

As regards point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over the second reference period (‘RP2’) and RP3 of -0,3 % is way below the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this, however, constitutes an improvement from the long-term DUC trend of +0,6 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(39)

As regards point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the EUR 34,03 baseline value for the DUC of Romania expressed in 2017 prices is 14,6 % lower than the EUR 39,84 average baseline value in EUR2017 of the relevant comparator group.

(40)

It is clear that Romania’s revised cost-efficiency targets result in a DUC trend over RP3 which outperforms the corresponding Union-wide trend. Furthermore, Romania’s revised DUC for 2024 is lower than the baseline value for 2014, which demonstrates a reduction of the DUC over RP2 and RP3, even though the long-term Union-wide DUC trend is not met. Finally, Romania demonstrates a good cost-efficiency performance in respect of the baseline value for 2019 which is significantly lower than the corresponding comparator group average. Therefore, the Commission considers that, in respect of Romania, the deviation from the Union-wide long-term DUC trend, referred to in recital 38, does not preclude the cost-efficiency performance targets from being consistent with the Union-wide cost-efficiency performance targets.

(41)

On balance, the Commission therefore considers that Romania has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its local cost-efficiency performance targets.

(42)

In the light of what has been said in recitals 29 to 41, the targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency included in the revised draft performance plan of Romania should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets.

Review of the revised cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services

(43)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, as set out in Articles 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route cost-efficiency targets by reviewing the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(44)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission raised concerns regarding the terminal cost-efficiency targets proposed by Romania in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and considered that Romania was to further justify those targets or revise them downwards. The Commission notes, however, that Romania has, on the contrary, revised those targets upwards for the years 2022 and 2023, including an increase of the determined costs in real terms for the year 2023.

(45)

The Commission observes that the terminal DUC trend of Romania of +4,2 % over RP3 remains higher than the en route DUC trend of +0,8 % over RP3, and remains higher than the actual terminal DUC trend of -3,1 % observed over RP2. Furthermore, the terminal RP3 DUC trend has only marginally improved in comparison with the draft performance plan of Romania submitted in 2021, in which a terminal DUC trend of +4,3 % was observed.

(46)

Therefore, in the light of what has been said in recitals 44 and 45, the Commission concludes that the revised terminal cost-efficiency performance targets of Romania continue to give rise to concerns. The Commission therefore reiterates its view that Romania should revise downwards those targets or provide adequate justifications for those targets, including for the increased determined costs of the year 2023. Romania should address those concerns in connection with the adoption of its final performance plan pursuant to Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

Review of the incentive schemes referred to in Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 complementing the Commission’s assessment of capacity targets

(47)

In accordance with point 2.1(f) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has complemented its assessment of capacity targets by reviewing the incentive schemes referred to in Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. In that respect, the Commission has examined whether the proposed incentive schemes fulfil the substantive requirements set out in Article 11(1) and (3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(48)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission concluded that Romania is to revise its incentive scheme for achieving terminal capacity targets in such a way that the maximum financial disadvantage stemming from that incentive scheme is set at a level having a material impact on the revenue at risk. The Commission notes that Romania has revised its incentive scheme for achieving terminal capacity targets by setting the resulting maximum financial disadvantage at a level equal to 1 % of determined costs. The revision addresses the concerns raised by the Commission in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728. The Commission does not have any further observations on the incentive schemes set out in the revised draft performance plan of Romania.

CONCLUSION

(49)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission finds that the performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Romania are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets included in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Romania pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2425

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Malta pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8743)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3), point (c), thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up performance plans, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’), which have to include binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets have to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). Since those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On this basis, Member States submitted to the Commission, in October 2021, draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In that Decision, the Commission found that the en route cost-efficiency performance targets included in the draft performance plan for RP3 of Malta are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

On 13 July 2022, Malta submitted a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’) for assessment to the Commission.

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the revised draft performance plan of Malta.

(8)

In accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Malta on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation, and taking account of local circumstances. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast published in June 2022 takes account of the changed circumstances referred to in recital 5. Based on that forecast, the Commission notes that Malta is not foreseen to experience adverse changes in traffic over RP3 as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(10)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Malta regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) based on the criterion laid down in point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(11)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Malta in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

(12)

The safety targets proposed by Malta for MATS are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and even outperform, for 2024, the Union-wide performance targets in the areas of ‘safety policy and objectives’, ‘safety assurance’, and ‘safety promotion’.

(13)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance plan submitted by Malta sets out measures for MATS for the achievement of the local safety targets, such as the introduction of a security operations centre and a network operations centre, the implementation of new safety software, the hiring of cyber security specialists to improve risk management, and the training of staff to comply with the change management requirements set out in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/373.

(14)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 11 and 13, and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 are to be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Malta should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(15)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Malta regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Malta have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, on 2 June 2021.

(16)

Concerning the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local environment performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(17)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Malta and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

Malta

2022

2023

(18)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Malta are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each of the years from 2022 to 2024.

(19)

The Commission notes that Malta has presented, in the revised draft performance plan, measures for the achievement of the local environment targets which include the implementation of free route airspace above flight level 195, the design of a new terminal manoeuvring area, and new arrival and departure procedures.

(20)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 17 to 19, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Malta should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of environment.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(21)

Concerning the key performance area of capacity, the consistency of the targets submitted by Malta regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Malta have been compared with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, on 2 June 2021.

(22)

Concerning the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local capacity performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to the years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(23)

The en route capacity targets proposed by Malta for RP3, expressed in minutes of ATFM delay per flight, as well as the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan, are as follows:

(24)

The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Malta are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each year from 2022 to 2024.

(25)

The Commission notes that Malta has presented in the draft performance plan measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets. Those measures include an increase in the number of air traffic controller full time equivalents by the end of RP3 and the implementation of free route airspace.

(26)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 23 to 25, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Malta should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of capacity.

Review of draft capacity targets for terminal air navigation services

(27)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route capacity targets by reviewing the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1.(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Those targets were not found to raise concerns in respect of Malta.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(28)

The Commission concluded in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 that the en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan of Malta submitted in 2021 were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Malta has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets as part of its revised draft performance plan.

(29)

The table below shows the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Malta, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted in 2022.

The Commission observes that Malta has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for the time period from 2022 to 2024, which results, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) lower by 12,3 % over those three years and lower by 8,7 % over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC reductions result both from the updated traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan for each of the years from 2022 to 2024 and from the downward revision of the determined costs expressed in real terms in 2017 prices for those years.

(31)

The changes to the traffic forecast for each of the years from 2022 to 2024 are presented in the table below. The Commission notes that the traffic forecast used in the revised draft performance plan is based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast.

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed for the Malta en route charging zone based on the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(36)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of -1,0 % over RP3 outperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes an improvement from the DUC trend of +2,0 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(37)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over the second reference period (‘RP2’) and RP3 of +0,3 % underperforms the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this, however, constitutes an improvement from the long-term DUC trend of +1,6 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(38)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the baseline value for the DUC of EUR 22,98 of Malta in EUR2017 is 19,7 % lower than the average baseline value of 28,64 in EUR2017 of the relevant comparator group.

(39)

As specified in recital 36, Malta’s revised cost-efficiency targets result in a DUC trend over RP3 which significantly outperforms the corresponding Union-wide trend and shows a reduction of the DUC over the reference period. Furthermore, referring to recital 38, Malta demonstrates a good cost-efficiency performance in respect of its baseline value for 2019, which is significantly lower than the corresponding comparator group average. Finally, the Commission notes that Malta has revised downwards the determined costs for RP3 both in real and nominal terms, whilst planning to serve additional traffic on the basis of the updated traffic forecast for RP3. Therefore, the Commission considers that the deviation from the Union-wide long-term DUC trend observed in recital 37 does not preclude the establishment of consistency with the Union-wide cost-efficiency performance targets in respect of Malta.

(40)

Having regard to the foregoing observations, the Commission notes that Malta has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728.

(41)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 29 to 40, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Malta should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency.

Review of revised cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services

(42)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of the en route cost-efficiency targets by reviewing the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(43)

In Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, the Commission raised concerns regarding the terminal cost-efficiency targets proposed by Malta in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and considered that Malta should further justify those targets or revise them downwards. The Commission notes, however, that Malta has, on the contrary, revised those targets upwards, except for year 2023, without providing related justifications.

(44)

The Commission observes that the terminal DUC trend of Malta of +5,0 % over RP3 remains higher than the en route DUC trend of -1,0 % over RP3 and remains higher than the actual terminal DUC trend of +0,6 % observed over RP2. Furthermore, the terminal RP3 DUC trend has worsened in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in which a terminal DUC trend of +4,3 % was observed.

(45)

On the basis of the findings in recitals 43 and 44, the Commission concludes that the revised terminal cost-efficiency performance targets of Malta continue to give rise to concerns. The Commission therefore reiterates its view, as set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728, that Malta should revise downwards those targets or provide adequate justifications for those targets, including for the additional cost increases applied in years 2022 and 2024. The Commission invites Malta to address this observation in connection with the adoption of its final performance plan in accordance with Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

Review of the incentive schemes referred to in Article 11 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 complementing the Commission’s assessment of capacity targets

(46)

In accordance with point 2.1(f) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, in relation to the assessment of the local capacity targets, the Commission has reviewed the incentive schemes contained in the revised draft performance plan of Malta. The Commission has examined, in particular, whether those incentive schemes fulfil the substantive requirements set out in in Article 11(1) and (3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. The Commission notes that Malta has not made any changes to those incentive schemes in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(47)

In respect of the en route and terminal capacity schemes proposed by Malta, the Commission, on the basis of expert advice provided by the performance review body, has strong doubts whether the proposed maximum financial disadvantages, which amount to 0,5 % and 0,25 % of determined costs respectively, would have any material impact on the revenue at risk, as required pursuant to point (a) of Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(48)

Therefore, Malta should revise, in connection with the adoption of its final performance plan in accordance with Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, its incentive schemes for achieving en route and terminal capacity targets so that the maximum financial disadvantages stemming from those incentive schemes are set at a level having a material impact on the revenue at risk, as expressly required under Article 11(3), point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, which in the Commission’s view should lead to a maximum financial disadvantage equal to or higher than 1 % of determined costs.

CONCLUSIONS

(49)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission finds that the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Malta are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Malta, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

COMMISSION DECISION (EU) 2022/2426

of 5 December 2022

on the consistency of the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Latvia pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period

(notified under document C(2022) 8718)

(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 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 11(3) point (c), thereof,

Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU) No 391/2013 (2), and in particular Article 15(2) thereof,

Whereas:

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

(1)

Pursuant to Article 10 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Member States are to draw up, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’), binding performance targets for each reference period of the performance scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those performance targets have to be consistent with the Union-wide targets adopted by the Commission for the reference period concerned.

(2)

Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period (‘RP3’) were originally set out in Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903 (3). As those Union-wide performance targets and the draft RP3 performance plans subsequently submitted in October 2019 by Member States were drawn up before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, they did not take account of the considerable reduction in air traffic due to the measures taken by the Member States and third countries to contain the pandemic.

(3)

In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of air navigation services, exceptional measures for RP3, which derogate from the provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, were set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627 (4). The Commission adopted, on 2 June 2021, Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 (5) setting revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3. On this basis, Member States submitted to the Commission, in October 2021, draft performance plans containing revised local performance targets for RP3.

(4)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 (6) was addressed to Belgium, Germany, Greece, France, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, and Sweden. In that Decision, the Commission found that the en route cost-efficiency performance targets included in the draft performance plan for RP3 of Latvia are not consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and issued recommendations for the revision of those targets.

(5)

In response to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, the Union has imposed restrictive measures which prohibit Russian air carriers, any Russian-registered aircraft and any non-Russian-registered aircraft which is owned or chartered, or otherwise controlled by any Russian natural or legal person, entity or body, from landing in and taking off from, or overflying the territory of the Union. Those restrictive measures and the counter-measures adopted by Russia have led to changes in air traffic in European airspace. Certain Member States, including Latvia, have been severely affected by a significant reduction in the number of overflights in the airspace under their responsibility. However, at Union-wide level, the observed impact on the number of flights has been limited in contrast with the sharp reduction of air traffic across Europe which resulted from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

(6)

On 13 July 2022, Latvia submitted a revised draft performance plan for RP3 (the ‘revised draft performance plan’).

(7)

The performance review body, assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the revised draft performance plan of Latvia.

(8)

In accordance with Article 15(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the local performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia on the basis of the assessment criteria laid down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation, and taking account of local circumstances. In respect of each key performance area and the related performance targets, the Commission has complemented its assessment by reviewing the elements set out in point 2 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation.

(9)

The Eurocontrol Statistics and Forecast Service (‘STATFOR’) base traffic forecast, published in June 2022, takes account of the change in circumstances with respect to air traffic in European airspace. Based on that forecast, the Commission notes that Latvia continues to face a significantly deteriorated traffic outlook for the remainder of RP3 as a consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. As those changed circumstances considerably impact the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia, they should be taken into account in the assessment of the local performance targets contained therein.

COMMISSION ASSESSMENT

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of safety

(10)

Concerning the key performance area of safety, the Commission has assessed the consistency of the targets submitted by Latvia regarding the effectiveness of safety management of air navigation service providers (‘ANSPs’) based on the criterion laid down in point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(11)

The local safety performance targets proposed by Latvia in respect of the effectiveness of safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are as follows:

(12)

The safety targets proposed by Latvia for LGS are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets and even outperform, for 2023 and 2024, the Union-wide performance targets in the areas of ‘safety policy and objectives’, ‘safety assurance’, ‘safety promotion’, and ‘safety culture’.

(13)

The Commission notes that the revised draft performance plan submitted by Latvia sets out measures for LGS for the achievement of the local safety targets, such as regular staff training, the revision of the safety management system procedures, evaluations of safety processes and just culture, simulated exercises, dissemination of safety data, and integration of safety management principles in business planning and decision-making.

(14)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 11 to 13, and considering that the Union-wide safety performance targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891 are to be achieved by the final year of RP3, namely 2024, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of environment

(15)

Concerning the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets submitted by Latvia regarding the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia have been compared with the relevant en route horizontal flight efficiency reference values set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’) available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, on 2 June 2021.

(16)

Concerning the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of environment, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local environment performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local environment performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(17)

The performance targets in the key performance area of environment proposed by Latvia and the corresponding national reference values for RP3 from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:

(18)

The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Latvia are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each year from 2022 to 2024.

(19)

The Commission notes that Latvia has presented in the revised draft performance plan measures for the achievement of the local environment targets which mainly fulfil already existing legal requirements under Union law and include the deployment of airport collaborative decision making, the adoption of performance-based navigation flight procedures, as well as the implementation of free route airspace.

(20)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 17 to 19, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of environment.

Assessment of performance targets in the key performance area of capacity

(21)

Concerning the key performance area of capacity, the consistency of the targets submitted by Latvia regarding the average en route air traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight has been assessed based on the criterion laid down in point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed targets contained in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia have been compared with the relevant reference values set out in the Network Operations Plan available at the time of adopting the revised Union-wide performance targets for RP3, on 2 June 2021.

(22)

Concerning the year 2020, the Union-wide performance target for RP3 in the key performance area of capacity, which was initially set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/903, before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, was not revised by Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891, considering that the period for the application of that target had expired and that its implementation had thus become definitive leaving no possibility for retroactive adjustments. Similarly, the local capacity performance targets for the year 2021 set by Member States in the draft performance plans submitted in October 2021 could not be retroactively modified in the revised draft performance plans. Therefore, the consistency of the local capacity performance targets with the corresponding Union-wide performance targets should be assessed with regard to years 2022, 2023 and 2024.

(23)

The en route capacity targets proposed by Latvia for RP3, expressed in minutes of ATFM delay per flight, as well as the corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan, are as follows:

(24)

The Commission observes that the capacity targets proposed by Latvia are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each year from 2022 to 2024.

(25)

The Commission observes that Latvia has presented in the revised draft performance plan measures for the achievement of the local en route capacity targets. Those measures relate to air traffic controllers and include a new training programme as well as improved staffing in different sectorization scenarios. The Commission notes that in respect of the draft performance plan of Latvia submitted in 2021, the air navigation service provider LGS has reduced the planned number of air traffic controller full-time equivalents in operations for the years 2022 to 2024, due to the change in circumstances outlined in recitals 5 and 9.

(26)

On the basis of the findings set out in recitals 23 to 25, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of capacity.

Review of capacity targets for terminal air navigation services

(27)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Article 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route capacity targets by reviewing the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1.(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Those targets were not found to raise any concerns in respect of Latvia.

Assessment of revised performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency

(28)

With reference to in recital 4, the Commission concluded in Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 that the proposed en route cost-efficiency targets included in the draft performance plan of Latvia submitted in 2021 were inconsistent with the Union-wide performance targets. Latvia has proposed revised en route cost-efficiency targets in its revised draft performance plan.

(29)

The table below shows the initial RP3 en route cost-efficiency performance targets for the charging zone of Latvia, as contained in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, and the corresponding revised performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted in 2022.

(30)

The Commission observes that Latvia has revised its local cost-efficiency targets for the time period from 2022 to 2024, which results, in comparison with the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, in an overall determined unit cost (‘DUC’) higher by 23,0 % over those three years and higher by 16,4 % over RP3 as a whole. Those DUC increases result from the significant deterioration in the traffic forecast, which has been caused by the reduction of air traffic in Latvia’s airspace as a consequence of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, as referred to in recitals 5 and 9. The lower number of forecasted service units for each year from 2022 to 2024 has however been partly offset by Latvia through a reduction of determined costs.

(31)

The Commission notes that the traffic assumptions used in the revised draft performance plan are based on the Eurocontrol STATFOR June 2022 base traffic forecast. The en route service units forecasted for the charging zone for each year from 2022 to 2024, in comparison with the figures contained in the draft performance plan, are presented in the table below.

(32)

Compared to the draft performance plan submitted in 2021, the annual reductions in the number of service units for each year from 2022 to 2024 are in the approximate range of -35 % to -37 %. Accordingly, the en route service units for Latvia are expected to remain, in 2024, 40,1 % below their pre-pandemic level (year 2019), whereas they were previously foreseen to exceed the pre-pandemic level by 11,4 % in the STATFOR base traffic forecast of October 2021.

(33)

However, as shown in the table below, the flight movements in Latvian airspace operated under instrument flight rules (IFR) are not foreseen to decrease at the same rate as the en route service units. This discrepancy is due to the significant reduction of overflights, which on average generates proportionally higher numbers of en route service units than flights landing and departing from airports in Latvia.

The Commission hence notes that the workload of the ANSP, which is driven by the controlled flight movements, is not foreseen to diminish in correlation with the revenue reduction which stems from the lower number of en route service units.

(35)

The revised determined costs for years 2022 to 2024, expressed in real terms in 2017 prices, are shown in the table below. The Commission notes that Latvia has revised downwards the determined costs in real terms for each of those years.

The Commission has assessed the consistency of the revised cost-efficiency targets proposed by Latvia based on the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

(39)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the en route DUC trend at charging zone level of +9,2 % over RP3 underperforms the Union-wide trend of +1,0 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes a deterioration from the DUC trend of +3,3 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(40)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the long-term en route DUC trend at charging zone level over the second reference period (‘RP2’) and RP3 of +2,1 % underperforms the long-term Union-wide trend of -1,3 % over the same period. The Commission notes that this constitutes a deterioration from the long-term DUC trend of -0,4 % calculated on the basis of the draft performance plan submitted in 2021.

(41)

With reference to recitals 31 and 32, the Commission recalls that Latvia’s service unit forecast for RP3 has been revised significantly downwards as a consequence of the traffic changes resulting from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. It is therefore necessary and appropriate to examine, for the purpose of the assessment criteria examined in recitals 39 and 40, whether Latvia would meet the Union-wide cost-efficiency trends in the absence of the severe traffic reduction for each year from 2022 to 2024 which is due to the changed circumstances.

(42)

To this end, the Commission has recalculated Latvia’s DUC trend over RP3 and Latvia’s long-term DUC trend over RP2 and RP3 by making use of the Eurocontrol STATFOR base traffic forecast of October 2021. This recalculation results in an adjusted DUC trend for Latvia of -6,5 % over RP3 and in an adjusted long-term en route DUC trend for Latvia of -4,7 % over RP2 and RP3. Both of those adjusted trends are significantly below the corresponding Union-wide DUC trends of +1,0 % and -1,3 % respectively. Hence, Latvia fulfils the assessment criteria examined in recitals 39 and 40 in the absence of the changes in traffic caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

(43)

Concerning the criterion laid down in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission observes that the baseline value for the DUC of EUR 23,61 of Latvia in EUR2017 is 17,2 % lower than the average baseline value of 28,51 EUR2017 of the relevant comparator group.

(44)

The Commission acknowledges that the revised cost-efficiency targets for the charging zone of Latvia are higher than the initial targets included in the draft performance plan submitted in 2021. However, this deterioration is entirely due to the significantly lower traffic assumptions. When excluding the negative impact of the traffic changes resulting from Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, it is clear that Latvia meets both the Union-wide DUC trend and the Union-wide long-term DUC trend. In addition, Latvia’s baseline value for 2019 is lower by a notable margin than the corresponding average value of its comparator group, which indicates that it has maintained a historically good level of cost-efficiency in relative terms.

(45)

Furthermore, with reference to recital 35, the Commission notes that Latvia has taken measures to mitigate the exceptional traffic circumstances by considerably reducing its determined costs for the remainder of RP3. The Commission observes that those cost containment measures are, overall, commensurate with the lower number of IFR movements forecasted for each year from 2022 to 2024, as presented in recital 32.

(46)

On balance, the Commission therefore considers that Latvia has adequately addressed the recommendations set out in Article 3 of Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/728 with regard to the revision of its local cost-efficiency performance targets.

(47)

On the basis of the findings in recitals 29 to 46, the targets included in the revised draft performance plan of Latvia should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency.

Review of cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services

(48)

With regard to airports which fall within the scope of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 as set out in Articles 1(3) and (4) of that Regulation, the Commission has complemented its assessment of en route cost-efficiency targets by reviewing the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services in accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Those targets were not found to raise any concerns in respect of Latvia.

CONCLUSIONS

(49)

In the light of all the foregoing, the Commission has found that the performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Latvia are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The performance targets contained in the revised draft performance plan submitted by Latvia, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, and listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the third reference period set out in Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/891.

Flue-gas

The exhaust gas exiting a combustion unit.

Fugitive emissions

Non-channelled emissions to air caused by loss of tightness of equipment which is designed or assembled to be tight.

Fugitive emissions can arise from:

moving equipment, such as agitators, compressors, pumps, valves (manual and automatic);

static equipment, such as flanges and other connections, open-ended lines, sampling points.

Lower olefins

Collective term for ethylene, propylene, butylene and butadiene, or mixtures thereof.

Major plant upgrade

A major change in the design or technology of a plant with major adjustments or replacements of the process and/or abatement units and associated equipment.

Mass flow

New plant

A plant first permitted on the site of the installation following the publication of these BAT conclusions or a complete replacement of a plant following the publication of these BAT conclusions.

New process furnace/heater

A process furnace/heater in a plant first permitted following the publication of these BAT conclusions or a complete replacement of a process furnace/heater following the publication of these BAT conclusions.

Non-fugitive emissions

Diffuse emissions other than fugitive emissions.

Non-fugitive emissions may arise from, for example, atmospheric vents, bulk storage, loading/unloading systems, vessels and tanks (on opening), open gutters, sampling systems, tank venting, waste, sewers and water treatment plants.

NOX precursors

Nitrogen-containing compounds (e.g. acrylonitrile, ammonia, nitrous gases, nitrogen-containing organic compounds) in the input to thermal or catalytic oxidation that lead to NOX emissions. Elemental nitrogen is not included.

Operational constraint

Limitation or restriction connected, for example, to:

substances used (e.g. substances that cannot be substituted, very corrosive substances);

operating conditions (e.g. very high temperature or pressure);

the functioning of the plant;

resource availability (e.g. availability of spare parts when replacing a piece of equipment, availability of qualified manpower);

expected environmental benefits (e.g. giving priority to maintenance, repair or replacement actions with the highest environmental benefit).

Periodic measurement

Measurement at specified time intervals using manual or automated methods.

Polymer grade

For each type of polymer, there are different product qualities (i.e. grades) which vary in structure and molecular mass, and are optimised for specific applications. In the case of polyolefins, these may vary regarding the use of co-polymers such as EVA. In the case of PVC, they may vary in the average length of the polymer chain and in the porosity of the particles.

Process furnace/heater

Process furnaces or heaters are:

combustion units used for the treatment of objects or feed material through direct contact, e.g. in drying processes or chemical reactors; or

combustion units whose radiant and/or conductive heat is transferred to objects or feed material through a solid wall without using an intermediary heat transfer fluid, e.g. furnaces or reactors heating a process stream used in the (petro-)chemical industry.

As a consequence of the application of good energy recovery practices, some of the process furnaces/heaters may have an associated steam/electricity generation system. This is an integral design feature of the process furnace/heater that cannot be considered in isolation.

Process off-gas

The gas leaving a process which is further treated for recovery and/or abatement.

Solvent

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Best Available Techniques

The techniques listed and described in these BAT conclusions are neither prescriptive nor exhaustive. Other techniques may be used that ensure at least an equivalent level of environmental protection.

Unless otherwise stated, the BAT conclusions are generally applicable.

Emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AELs) and indicative emission levels for channelled emissions to air

The BAT-AELs and the indicative emission levels for channelled emissions to air given in these BAT conclusions refer to values of concentration, expressed as mass of emitted substance per volume of waste gas under standard conditions (dry gas at a temperature of 273,15 K, and a pressure of 101,3 kPa) and expressed in the unit mg/Nm3, μg/Nm3 or ng I-TEQ/Nm3.

The reference oxygen levels used to express BAT-AELs and indicative emission levels in these BAT conclusions are shown in the table below.

Source of emissions

Reference oxygen level (OR)

Process furnace/heater using indirect heating

3 dry vol-%

All other sources

No correction for the oxygen level

For the cases where a reference oxygen level is given, the equation for calculating the emission concentration at the reference oxygen level is:

Formula

where:

ER

:

emission concentration at the reference oxygen level OR;

OR

:

reference oxygen level in vol-%;

EM

:

measured emission concentration;

OM

:

measured oxygen level in vol-%.

The equation above does not apply if the process furnace(s)/heater(s) use(s) oxygen-enriched air or pure oxygen or when additional air intake for safety reasons brings the oxygen level in the waste gas very close to 21 vol-%. In this case, the emission concentration at the reference oxygen level of 3 dry vol-% is calculated differently.

For averaging periods of BAT-AELs and indicative emission levels for channelled emissions to air, the following definitions apply.

Type of measurement

Averaging period

Definition

Continuous

Daily average

Average over a period of 1 day based on valid hourly or half-hourly averages.

Periodic

Average over the sampling period

Average value of three consecutive samplings/measurements of at least 30 minutes each (5).

For the purpose of calculating the mass flows in relation to BAT 11 (Table 1.1), BAT 14 (Table 1.3), BAT 18 (Table 1.6), BAT 29 (Table 1.9) and BAT 36 (Table 1.15), where waste gases with similar characteristics, e.g. containing the same (type of) substances/parameters, and discharged through two or more separate stacks could, in the judgement of the competent authority, be discharged through a common stack, these stacks shall be considered as a single stack.

BAT-AELs for diffuse VOC emissions to air

For diffuse VOC emissions from the use of solvents or the reuse of recovered solvents, the BAT-AELs in these BAT conclusions are given as a percentage of the solvent input, calculated on an annual basis according to Part 7 of Annex VII to Directive 2010/75/EU.

BAT-AELs for total emissions to air for the production of polymers or synthetic rubbers

Production of polyolefins or synthetic rubbers

For total emissions to air of VOCs from the production of polyolefins or synthetic rubbers, the BAT-AELs in these BAT conclusions are given as specific emission loads calculated on an annual basis by dividing the total VOC emissions by a sector-dependent production rate, expressed in the unit g C/kg of product.

Production of PVC

For total emissions to air of VCM from the production of PVC, the BAT-AELs in these BAT conclusions are given as specific emission loads calculated on an annual basis by dividing the total VCM emissions by a sector-dependent production rate, expressed in the unit g/kg of product.

For the purpose of calculating specific emission loads, total emissions include the VCM concentration in the PVC.

Production of viscose

For the production of viscose, the BAT-AEL in these BAT conclusions is given as a specific emission load calculated on an annual basis by dividing the total S emissions by the production rate of staple fibres or casing, expressed in the unit g S/kg of product.

1.1.    General BAT conclusions

1.1.1.   Environmental management systems

BAT 1.   In order to improve the overall environmental performance, BAT is to elaborate and implement an environmental management system (EMS) that incorporates all of the following features:

i.

commitment, leadership, and accountability of the management, including senior management, for the implementation of an effective EMS;

ii.

an analysis that includes the determination of the organisation’s context, the identification of the needs and expectations of interested parties, the identification of characteristics of the installation that are associated with possible risks for the environment (or human health) as well as of the applicable legal requirements relating to the environment;

iii.

development of an environmental policy that includes the continuous improvement of the environmental performance of the installation;

iv.

establishing objectives and performance indicators in relation to significant environmental aspects, including safeguarding compliance with applicable legal requirements;

v.

planning and implementing the necessary procedures and actions (including corrective and preventive actions where needed), to achieve the environmental objectives and avoid environmental risks;

vi.

determination of structures, roles and responsibilities in relation to environmental aspects and objectives and provision of the financial and human resources needed;

vii.

ensuring the necessary competence and awareness of staff whose work may affect the environmental performance of the installation (e.g. by providing information and training);

viii.

internal and external communication;

ix.

fostering employee involvement in good environmental management practices;

x.

establishing and maintaining a management manual and written procedures to control activities with significant environmental impact as well as relevant records;

xi.

effective operational planning and process control;

xii.

implementation of appropriate maintenance programmes;

xiii.

emergency preparedness and response protocols, including the prevention and/or mitigation of the adverse (environmental) impacts of emergency situations;

xiv.

when (re)designing a (new) installation or a part thereof, consideration of its environmental impacts throughout its life, which includes construction, maintenance, operation and decommissioning;

xv.

implementation of a monitoring and measurement programme; if necessary, information can be found in the Reference Report on Monitoring of Emissions to Air and Water from IED Installations;

xvi.

application of sectoral benchmarking on a regular basis;

xvii.

periodic independent (as far as practicable) internal auditing and periodic independent external auditing in order to assess the environmental performance and to determine whether or not the EMS conforms to planned arrangements and has been properly implemented and maintained;

xviii.

evaluation of causes of nonconformities, implementation of corrective actions in response to nonconformities, review of the effectiveness of corrective actions, and determination of whether similar nonconformities exist or could potentially occur;

xix.

periodic review, by senior management, of the EMS and its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness;

xx.

following and taking into account the development of cleaner techniques.

Specifically for the chemical sector, BAT is also to incorporate the following features in the EMS:

xxi.

an inventory of channelled and diffuse emissions to air (see BAT 2);

xxii.

an OTNOC management plan for emissions to air (see BAT 3);

xxiii.

an integrated waste gas management and treatment strategy for channelled emissions to air (see BAT 4);

xxiv.

a management system for diffuse VOC emissions to air (see BAT 19);

xxv.

a chemicals management system that includes an inventory of the hazardous substances and substances of very high concern used in the process(es); the potential for substitution of the substances that are listed in this inventory, focusing on those substances other than raw materials, is analysed periodically (e.g. annually) in order to identify possible new available and safer alternatives, with no or lower environmental impacts.

Note

Regulation (EC) No 1221/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6) establishes the European Union eco-management and audit scheme (EMAS), which is an example of an EMS consistent with this BAT.

Applicability

The level of detail and the degree of formalisation of the EMS will generally be related to the nature, scale and complexity of the installation, and the range of environmental impacts it may have.

BAT 2.   In order to facilitate the reduction of emissions to air, BAT is to establish, maintain and regularly review (including when a substantial change occurs) an inventory of channelled and diffuse emissions to air, as part of the environmental management system (see BAT 1), that incorporates all of the following features:

i.

information, as comprehensive as is reasonably possible, about the chemical production process(es), including:

a.

chemical reaction equations, also showing side products;

b.

simplified process flow sheets that show the origin of the emissions;

ii.

information, as comprehensive as is reasonably possible, about channelled emissions to air, such as:

a.

emission point(s);

b.

average values and variability of flow and temperature;

c.

average concentration and mass flow values of relevant substances/parameters and their variability (e.g. TVOC, CO, NOX, SOX, Cl2, HCl);

d.

presence of other substances that may affect the waste gas treatment system(s) or plant safety (e.g. oxygen, nitrogen, water vapour, dust);

e.

techniques used to prevent and/or reduce channelled emissions to air;

f.

flammability, lower and higher explosive limits, reactivity;

g.

monitoring methods (see BAT 8);

h.

presence of substances classified as CMR 1A, CMR 1B or CMR 2; the presence of such substances may for example be assessed according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP).

iii.

information, as comprehensive as is reasonably possible, about diffuse emissions to air, such as:

a.

identification of the emission source(s);

b.

characteristics of each emission source (e.g. fugitive or non-fugitive; static or moving; accessibility of the emission source; included in an LDAR programme or not);

c.

the characteristics of the gas or liquid in contact with the emission source(s), including:

1.

physical state;

2.

vapour pressure of the substance(s) in the liquid, pressure of the gas;

3.

temperature;

4.

composition (by weight for liquids or by volume for gases);

5.

hazardous properties of the substance(s) or mixtures, including substances or mixtures classified as CMR 1A, CMR 1B or CMR 2;

d.

techniques used to prevent and/or reduce diffuse emissions to air;

e.

monitoring (see BAT 20, BAT 21 and BAT 22).

Note for diffuse emissions

The information about diffuse emissions to air is particularly relevant for activities using large amounts of organic substances or mixtures (e.g. production of pharmaceuticals, production of large volumes of organic chemicals or of polymers).

The information about fugitive emissions covers all emission sources in contact with organic substances with a vapour pressure greater than 0,3 kPa at 293,15 K.

Sources of fugitive emissions connected to pipes whose diameter is small (e.g. smaller than 12,7 mm, i.e. 0,5 inch) may be excluded from the inventory.

Equipment operated under subatmospheric pressure may be excluded from the inventory.

Applicability

The level of detail and the degree of formalisation of the inventory will generally be related to the nature, scale and complexity of the installation, and the range of environmental impacts it may have.

1.1.2.   Other than normal operating conditions (OTNOC)

BAT 3.   In order to reduce the frequency of the occurrence of OTNOC and to reduce emissions to air during OTNOC, BAT is to set up and implement a risk-based OTNOC management plan as part of the environmental management system (see BAT 1) that includes all of the following features:

i.

identification of potential OTNOC (e.g. failure of equipment critical to the control of channelled emissions to air, or equipment critical to the prevention of accidents or incidents that could lead to emissions to air (‘critical equipment’)), of their root causes and of their potential consequences;

ii.

appropriate design of critical equipment (e.g. equipment modularity and compartmentalisation, backup systems, techniques to obviate the need to bypass waste gas treatment during start-up and shutdown, high-integrity equipment, etc.);

iii.

set-up and implementation of a preventive maintenance plan for critical equipment (see BAT 1 xii.);

iv.

monitoring (i.e. estimating or, where this is possible, measuring) and recording of emissions and associated circumstances during OTNOC;

v.

periodic assessment of the emissions occurring during OTNOC (e.g. frequency of events, duration, amount of pollutants emitted as recorded in point iv.) and implementation of corrective actions if necessary;

vi.

regular review and update of the list of identified OTNOC under point i. following the periodic assessment of point v.;

vii.

regular testing of backup systems.

1.1.3.   Channelled emissions to air

1.1.3.1.   General techniques

BAT 4.   In order to reduce channelled emissions to air, BAT is to use an integrated waste gas management and treatment strategy that includes, in order of priority, process-integrated recovery and abatement techniques.

Description

The integrated waste gas management and treatment strategy is based on the inventory in BAT 2. It takes into account factors such as greenhouse gas emissions and the consumption or reuse of energy, water and materials associated with the use of the different techniques.

BAT 5.   In order to facilitate the recovery of materials and the reduction of channelled emissions to air, as well as to increase energy efficiency, BAT is to combine waste gas streams with similar characteristics, thus minimising the number of emission points.

Description

The combined treatment of waste gases with similar characteristics ensures more effective and efficient treatment compared to the separate treatment of individual waste gas streams. The combination of waste gases is carried out considering plant safety (e.g. avoiding concentrations close to the lower/upper explosive limit), technical (e.g. compatibility of the individual waste gas streams, concentration of the substances concerned), environmental (e.g. maximising recovery of materials or pollutant abatement) and economic factors (e.g. distance between different production units).

Care is taken that the combination of waste gases does not lead to the dilution of emissions.

BAT 6.   In order to reduce channelled emissions to air, BAT is to ensure that the waste gas treatment systems are appropriately designed (e.g. considering the maximum flow rate and pollutant concentrations), operated within their design ranges, and maintained (through preventive, corrective, regular and unplanned maintenance) so as to ensure optimal availability, effectiveness and efficiency of the equipment.

1.1.3.2.   Monitoring

BAT 7.   BAT is to continuously monitor key process parameters (e.g. waste gas flow and temperature) of waste gas streams being sent to pretreatment and/or final treatment.

BAT 8.   BAT is to monitor channelled emissions to air with at least the frequency given below and in accordance with EN standards. If EN standards are not available, BAT is to use ISO, national or other international standards that ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality.

1.1.3.3.   Organic compounds

BAT 9.   In order to increase resource efficiency and to reduce the mass flow of organic compounds sent to the final waste gas treatment, BAT is to recover organic compounds from process off-gases by using one or a combination of the techniques given below and to reuse them.

Technique

Description

a.

Absorption (regenerative)

See Section 1.4.1.

b.

Adsorption (regenerative)

See Section 1.4.1.

c.

Condensation

See Section 1.4.1.

Applicability

Recovery may be restricted where the energy demand is excessive due to the low concentration of the compound(s) concerned in the process off-gas(es). Reuse may be restricted due to product quality specifications.

BAT 10.   In order to increase energy efficiency and to reduce the mass flow of organic compounds sent to the final waste gas treatment, BAT is to send process off-gases with a sufficient calorific value to a combustion unit that is, if technically possible, combined with heat recovery. BAT 9 has priority over sending process off-gases to a combustion unit.

Description

Process off-gases with a high calorific value are burnt as a fuel in a combustion unit (gas engine, boiler, process heater or furnace) and the heat is recovered as steam or for electricity generation, or to provide heat to the process.

For process off-gases with low VOC concentrations (e.g. < 1 g/Nm3), pre-concentration steps may be applied using adsorption (rotor or fixed bed, with activated carbon or zeolites), in order to increase the calorific value of the process off-gases.

Molecular sieves (‘smoothers’), typically composed of zeolites, may be used to level down high variations (e.g. concentration peaks) of VOC concentrations in the process off-gases.

Applicability

Sending process off-gases to a combustion unit may be restricted due to the presence of contaminants or due to safety considerations.

1.1.4.   Diffuse VOC emissions to air

1.1.4.1.   Management system for diffuse VOC emissions

BAT 19.   In order to prevent or, where that is not practicable, to reduce diffuse VOC emissions to air, BAT is to elaborate and implement a management system for diffuse VOC emissions, as part of the environmental management system (see BAT 1), that includes all of the following features:

i.

Estimating the annual quantity of diffuse VOC emissions (see BAT 20).

ii.

Monitoring diffuse VOC emissions from the use of solvents by compiling a solvent mass balance, if applicable (see BAT 21).

iii.

Establishing and implementing a leak detection and repair (LDAR) programme for fugitive VOC emissions. The LDAR programme typically lasts from 1 to 5 years depending on the nature, scale and complexity of the plant (5 years may correspond to large plants with a high number of emission sources).

The LDAR programme includes all of the following features:

a.

Listing of equipment identified as relevant fugitive VOC emission sources in the inventory of diffuse VOC emissions (see BAT 2).

b.

Definition of criteria associated with the following:

Leaky equipment. Typical criteria could be a leak threshold, above which equipment is considered leaky, and/or the visualisation of a leak with OGI cameras. This depends on the characteristics of the emission source (e.g. accessibility) and the hazardous properties of the emitted substance(s).

Maintenance and/or repair actions to be carried out. A typical criterion could be a VOC concentration threshold triggering the maintenance or repair action (maintenance/repair threshold). The maintenance/repair threshold is generally equal to or higher than the leak threshold. This depends on the characteristics of the emission source (e.g. accessibility) and the hazardous properties of the emitted substance(s). For the first LDAR programme, it is generally not higher than 5 000 ppmv for VOCs other than VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B, and 1 000 ppmv for VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B. For subsequent LDAR programmes, the maintenance/repair threshold is lowered (see point vi. a.) and not higher than 1 000 ppmv for VOCs other than VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B, and 500 ppmv for VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B, targeting 100 ppmv.

c.

Measuring fugitive VOC emissions from equipment listed under point iii. a. (see BAT 22).

d.

Carrying out maintenance and/or repair actions (see BAT 23, techniques e. and f.), as soon as possible and where necessary according to the criteria defined in point iii. b. Maintenance and repair actions are prioritised according to the hazardous properties of the emitted substance(s), the significance of the emissions and/or operational constraints. The effectiveness of the maintenance and/or repair actions is verified according to point iii. c., leaving enough time after the intervention (e.g. 2 months).

e.

Filling in the database mentioned in point v.

iv.

Establishing and implementing a detection and reduction programme for non-fugitive VOC emissions that includes all of the following features:

a.

Listing of equipment identified as relevant non-fugitive VOC emission sources in the inventory of diffuse VOC emissions (see BAT 2).

b.

Monitoring non-fugitive VOC emissions from equipment listed under point iv. a. (see BAT 22).

c.

Planning and implementing techniques to reduce non-fugitive VOC emissions (see BAT 23, techniques a., c. and g. to j.). The planning and implementation of the techniques are prioritised according to the hazardous properties of the emitted substance(s), the significance of the emissions and/or operational constraints.

d.

Filling in the database mentioned in point v.

v.

Establishing and maintaining a database, for diffuse VOC emissions sources that are identified in the inventory mentioned in BAT 2, for keeping record of:

a.

equipment design specifications (including the date and description of any design changes);

b.

the equipment maintenance, repair, upgrade, or replacement actions, performed or planned, and their date of implementation;

c.

the equipment that could not be maintained, repaired, upgraded or replaced due to operational constraints;

d.

the results of the measurements or monitoring, including the concentration(s) of the emitted substance(s), the calculated leak rate (as kg/year), the recording from OGI cameras (e.g. from the last LDAR programme) and the date of the measurements or monitoring;

e.

the annual quantity of diffuse VOC emissions (as fugitive and non-fugitive emissions), including information on non-accessible sources and accessible sources not monitored during the year.

vi.

Reviewing and updating the LDAR programme periodically. This may include the following:

a.

lowering the leak and/or maintenance/repair thresholds (see point iii. b.);

b.

reviewing the prioritisation of equipment to be monitored, giving higher priority to (the type of) equipment identified as leaky during the previous LDAR programme;

c.

planning the maintenance, repair, upgrade or replacement of equipment that could not be performed during the previous LDAR programme due to operational constraints.

vii.

Reviewing and updating the detection and reduction programme for non-fugitive VOC emissions. This may include the following:

a.

monitoring non-fugitive VOC emissions from equipment where maintenance, repair, upgrade or replacement actions were implemented, in order to determine if those actions were successful;

b.

planning the maintenance, repair, upgrade or replacement actions that could not be performed due to operational constraints.

Applicability

The features points iii., iv., vi., and vii. are only applicable to sources of diffuse VOC emissions for which monitoring according to BAT 22 is applicable.

The level of detail of the management system for diffuse VOC emissions will be proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of the plant, and the range of environmental impacts it may have.

1.1.4.2.   Monitoring

BAT 20.   BAT is to estimate fugitive and non-fugitive VOC emissions to air separately at least once every year by using one or a combination of the techniques given below, as well as to determine the uncertainty of this estimation. The estimation distinguishes between VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B and VOCs that are not classified as CMR 1A or 1B.

Note

The estimation of the diffuse VOC emissions to air takes into account the results of the monitoring carried out according to BAT 21 and/or to BAT 22.

For the purpose of the estimation, channelled emissions may be counted as non-fugitive emissions when the inherent characteristics of the waste gas stream (e.g. low velocities, variability of the flow rate and concentration) do not allow an accurate measurement according to BAT 8.

The main sources of uncertainty of the estimation are identified, and corrective actions are implemented to reduce the uncertainty.

Technique

Description

Type of emissions

a.

Use of emission factors

See Section 1.4.2.

Fugitive and/or non-fugitive

b.

Use of a mass balance

Estimation based on the difference in the mass of the substance inputs to and outputs from the plant/production unit, taking into account the generation and destruction of the substance in the plant/production unit.

A mass balance may also consist of measuring the concentration of VOCs in the product (e.g. raw material or solvent).

c.

Use of thermodynamic models

Estimation using the laws of thermodynamics applied to equipment (e.g. tanks) or particular steps of a production process.

The following data are generally used as input for the model:

chemical properties of the substance (e.g. vapour pressure, molecular mass);

process operating data (e.g. operating time, product quantity, ventilation);

characteristics of the emission source (e.g. tank diameter, colour, shape).

BAT 21.   BAT is to monitor diffuse VOC emissions from the use of solvents by compiling, at least once every year, a solvent mass balance of the solvent inputs and outputs of the plant, as defined in Part 7 of Annex VII to Directive 2010/75/EU and to minimise the uncertainty of the solvent mass balance data by using all of the techniques given below.

Technique

Description

a.

Full identification and quantification of the relevant solvent inputs and outputs, including the associated uncertainty

This includes:

identification and documentation of solvent inputs and outputs (e.g. channelled and diffuse emissions to air, emissions to water, solvent output in waste);

substantiated quantification of each relevant solvent input and output and recording of the methodology used (e.g. measurement, estimation by using emission factors, estimation based on operational parameters);

identification of the main sources of uncertainty of the aforementioned quantification, and implementation of corrective actions to reduce the uncertainty;

regular update of solvent input and output data.

b.

Implementation of a solvent tracking system

A solvent tracking system aims to keep control of both the used and unused quantities of solvents (e.g. by weighing unused quantities returned to storage from the application area).

c.

Monitoring of changes that may influence the uncertainty of the solvent mass balance data

Any change that could influence the uncertainty of the solvent mass balance data is recorded, such as:

malfunctions of the waste gas treatment system: the date and period of time are recorded;

changes that may influence air/gas flow rates (e.g. replacement of fans): the date and type of change are recorded.

Applicability

This BAT may not apply to the production of polyolefins, PVC or synthetic rubbers.

This BAT may not be applicable to plants whose total annual consumption of solvents is lower than 50 tonnes. The level of detail of the solvent mass balance will be proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of the plant, and the range of environmental impacts it may have, as well as to the type and quantity of solvents used.

BAT 22.   BAT is to monitor diffuse VOC emissions to air with at least the frequency given below and in accordance with EN standards. If EN standards are not available, BAT is to use ISO, national or other international standards that ensure the provision of data of an equivalent scientific quality.

Note

Optical gas imaging (OGI) is a useful complementary technique to the method EN 15446 (‘sniffing’) in order to identify sources of fugitive VOC emissions and is particularly relevant in the case of inaccessible sources (see Section 1.4.2.). This technique is described in EN 17628.

In the case of non-fugitive emissions, measurements may be complemented by the use of thermodynamic models.

Where large amounts (e.g. above 80 t/yr) of VOCs are used/consumed, the quantification of VOC emissions from the plant with tracer correlation (TC) or with optical absorption-based techniques, such as differential absorption light detection and ranging (DIAL) or solar occultation flux (SOF), is a useful complementary technique (see Section 1.4.2.). These techniques are described in EN 17628.

Applicability

BAT 22 only applies when the annual quantity of diffuse VOC emissions from the plant estimated according to BAT 20 is greater than the following:

For fugitive emissions:

1 tonne of VOCs per year in the case of VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B; or

5 tonnes of VOCs per year in the case of other VOCs.

For non-fugitive emissions:

1 tonne of VOCs per year in the case of VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B; or

5 tonnes of VOCs per year in the case of other VOCs.

1.1.4.3.   Prevention or reduction of diffuse VOC emissions

1.4.    Description of techniques

1.4.1.   Techniques to reduce channelled emissions to air

Technique

Description

Absorption

The removal of gaseous or particulate pollutants from a process off-gas or waste gas stream via mass transfer to a suitable liquid, often water or an aqueous solution. It may involve a chemical reaction (e.g. in an acid or alkaline scrubber). In the case of regenerative absorption, the compounds may be recovered from the liquid.

Adsorption

The removal of pollutants from a process off-gas or waste gas stream by retention on a solid surface (activated carbon is typically used as the adsorbent). Adsorption may be regenerative or non-regenerative.

In non-regenerative adsorption, the spent adsorbent is not regenerated but disposed of.

In the case of regenerative adsorption, the adsorbate is subsequently desorbed, e.g. with steam (often on site), for reuse or disposal and the adsorbent is reused. For continuous operation, typically more than two adsorbers are operated in parallel, one of them in desorption mode.

Bioprocesses

Bioprocesses include the following:

Biofiltration: the waste gas stream is passed through a bed of organic material (such as peat, heather, compost, root wood, tree bark, peat, compost, softwood and different kinds of combinations) or some inert material (such as clay, activated carbon, and polyurethane), where it is biologically oxidised by naturally occurring microorganisms into carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts and biomass.

Bioscrubbing: the removal of the pollutant compounds from a waste gas stream using a combination of wet scrubbing (absorption) and biodegradation under aerobic conditions. The scrubbing water contains a population of microorganisms suitable to oxidise biodegradable gaseous compounds. The absorbed pollutants are degraded in aerated sludge tanks.

Biotrickling: the removal of the pollutant compounds from a waste gas stream in a biological trickle-bed reactor. The pollutants are absorbed by the water phase and transported to the biofilm, where the biological transformation takes place.

Choice of fuel

The use of fuel (including support/auxiliary fuel) with a low content of potential pollution-generating compounds (e.g. low sulphur, ash, nitrogen, fluorine or chlorine content in the fuel).

Condensation

The removal of vapours of organic and inorganic compounds from a process off-gas or waste gas stream by reducing its temperature below its dew point so that the vapours liquefy. Depending on the operating temperature range required, different cooling media are used, e.g. water or brine.

In cryogenic condensation, liquid nitrogen is used as a cooling medium.

Cyclone

Equipment for the removal of dust from a process off-gas or waste gas stream based on imparting centrifugal forces, usually within a conical chamber.

Electrostatic precipitator

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a particulate control device that uses electrical forces to move particles entrained within a waste gas stream onto collector plates. The entrained particles are given an electrical charge when they pass through a corona where gaseous ions flow. Electrodes in the centre of the flow lane are maintained at a high voltage and generate the electrical field that forces the particles to the collector walls. The pulsating DC voltage required is in the range of 20-100 kV.

Absolute filter

Absolute filters, also referred to as high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) filters or ultra-low penetration air (ULPA) filters, are constructed from glass cloth or fabrics of synthetic fibres through which gases are passed to remove particles. Absolute filters show higher efficiencies than fabric filters. The classification of HEPA and ULPA filters according to their performance is given in EN 1822-1.

High-efficiency air filter (HEAF)

A flat-bed filter in which aerosols combine into droplets. Highly viscous droplets remain on the filter fabric which contains the residues to be disposed of and separated into droplets, aerosols and dust. HEAFs are particularly suitable for treating highly viscous droplets.

Fabric filter

Fabric filters, often referred to as bag filters, are constructed from porous woven or felted fabric through which gases are passed to remove particles. The use of a fabric filter requires the selection of a fabric suitable for the characteristics of the waste gas and the maximum operating temperature.

Low-NOX burner

The technique (including ultra-low-NOX burner) is based on the principles of reducing peak flame temperatures. The air/fuel mixing reduces the availability of oxygen and reduces the peak flame temperature, thus retarding the conversion of fuel-bound nitrogen to NOX and the formation of thermal NOX, while maintaining high combustion efficiency. The design of ultra-low-NOX burners includes (air/)fuel staging and exhaust/flue-gas recirculation.

Optimised combustion

Good design of the combustion chambers, burners and associated equipment/devices is combined with optimisation of combustion conditions (e.g. the temperature and residence time in the combustion zone, efficient mixing of the fuel and combustion air) and the regular planned maintenance of the combustion system according to suppliers’ recommendations. Combustion conditions control is based on the continuous monitoring and automated control of appropriate combustion parameters (e.g. O2, CO, fuel to air ratio, and unburnt substances).

Optimisation of catalytic or thermal oxidation

Optimisation of design and operation of catalytic or thermal oxidation to promote the oxidation of organic compounds including PCDD/F present in the waste gases, to prevent PCDD/F and the (re)formation of their precursors, as well as to reduce the generation of pollutants such as NOX and CO.

Catalytic oxidation

Abatement technique which oxidises combustible compounds in a waste gas stream with air or oxygen in a catalyst bed. The catalyst enables oxidation at lower temperatures and in smaller equipment compared to thermal oxidation. The typical oxidation temperature is between 200 °C and 600 °C.

For process off-gases with low VOC concentrations (e.g. < 1 g/Nm3), pre-concentration steps may be applied using adsorption (rotor or fixed bed, with activated carbon or zeolites). VOCs adsorbed in the concentrator are desorbed by using heated ambient air or heated waste gas, and the resulting volume flow with higher VOC concentration is directed to the oxidiser.

Molecular sieves (‘smoothers’), typically composed of zeolites, may be used before the concentrators or the oxidiser to level down high variations of VOC concentrations in the process off-gases.

Thermal oxidation

Abatement technique which oxidises combustible compounds in a waste gas stream by heating it with air or oxygen to above its auto-ignition point in a combustion chamber and maintaining it at a high temperature long enough to complete its combustion to carbon dioxide and water. The typical combustion temperature is between 800 °C and 1 000  °C.

Several types of thermal oxidation are operated:

Straight thermal oxidation: thermal oxidation without energy recovery from the combustion.

Recuperative thermal oxidation: thermal oxidation using the heat of the waste gases by indirect heat transfer.

Regenerative thermal oxidation: thermal oxidation where the incoming waste gas stream is heated when passing through a ceramic-packed bed before entering the combustion chamber. The purified hot gases exit this chamber by passing through one (or more) ceramic-packed bed(s) (cooled by an incoming waste gas stream in an earlier combustion cycle). This reheated packed bed then begins a new combustion cycle by preheating a new incoming waste gas stream.

For process off-gases with low VOC concentrations (e.g. < 1 g/Nm3), pre-concentration steps may be applied using adsorption (rotor or fixed bed, with activated carbon or zeolites). VOCs adsorbed in the concentrator are desorbed by using heated ambient air or heated waste gas, and the resulting volume flow with higher VOC concentration is directed to the oxidiser.

Molecular sieves (‘smoothers’), typically composed of zeolites, may be used before the concentrators or the oxidiser to level down high variations of VOC concentrations in the process off-gases.

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR)

Selective reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia or urea in the presence of a catalyst. The technique is based on the reduction of NOX to nitrogen in a catalytic bed by reaction with ammonia at an optimum operating temperature that is typically around 200– 450 °C. In general, ammonia is injected as an aqueous solution; the ammonia source can also be anhydrous ammonia or a urea solution. Several layers of catalyst may be applied. A higher NOX reduction is achieved with the use of a larger catalyst surface, installed as one or more layers. ‘In-duct’ or ‘slip’ SCR combines SNCR with downstream SCR which reduces the ammonia slip from SNCR.

Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR)

Selective reduction of nitrogen oxides to nitrogen with ammonia or urea at high temperatures and without catalyst. The operating temperature window is maintained between 800 °C and 1 000  °C for optimal reaction.

1.4.2.   Techniques to monitor diffuse emissions to air

Technique

Description

Differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL)

A laser-based technique using differential absorption LIDAR (light detection and ranging), which is the optical analogue of radio-wave-based RADAR. The technique relies on the back-scattering of laser beam pulses by atmospheric aerosols, and the analysis of the spectral properties of the returned light collected with a telescope.

Emission factor

Emission factors are numbers that can be multiplied by an activity rate (e.g. the production output), in order to estimate the emissions from the installation. Emission factors are generally derived through the testing of a population of similar process equipment or process steps. This information can be used to relate the quantity of material emitted to some general measure of the scale of activity. In the absence of other information, default emission factors (e.g. literature values) can be used to provide an estimate of the emissions.

Emission factors are usually expressed as the mass of a substance emitted divided by the throughput of the process emitting the substance.

Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programme

A structured approach to reduce fugitive VOC emissions by detection and subsequent repair or replacement of leaking components. The LDAR programme consists of one or more campaigns. A campaign is usually conducted over 1 year, where a certain percentage of the pieces of equipment is monitored.

Optical gas imaging (OGI) methods

Optical gas imaging uses small lightweight hand-held or fixed cameras which enable the visualisation of gas leaks in real time, so that they appear as ‘smoke’ on a video recorder together with the image of the equipment concerned, to easily and rapidly locate significant VOC leaks. Active systems produce an image with a back-scattered infrared laser light reflected on the equipment and its surroundings. Passive systems are based on the natural infrared radiation of the equipment and its surroundings.

Solar occultation flux (SOF)

The technique is based on the recording and spectrometric Fourier Transform analysis of a broadband infrared or ultraviolet/visible sunlight spectrum along a given geographical itinerary, crossing the wind direction and cutting through VOC plumes.

1.4.3.   Techniques to reduce diffuse emissions

Technique

Description

Devolatilisation extrusion

When the concentrated rubber solution is further processed by extrusion, the solvent vapours (commonly cyclohexane, hexane, heptane, toluene, cyclopentane, isopentane or mixtures thereof) coming from the vent hole of the extruder are compressed and sent to recovery.

Stripping

VOCs contained in the polymer are transferred to the gaseous phase (e.g. by using steam). The removal efficiency may be optimised by a suitable combination of temperature, pressure and residence time and by maximising the ratio of free polymer surface to total polymer volume.

Vapour balancing

The vapour from a piece of receiving equipment (e.g. a tank) that is displaced during the transfer of a liquid and is returned to the delivery equipment from which the liquid is delivered.

(53)  In the case of inaccessible sources of fugitive VOC emissions (e.g. if the monitoring requires the removal of insulation or the use of scaffolding), the monitoring frequency may be reduced to once during the period covered by each LDAR programme (see BAT 19 point iii.).

(54)  For the production of PVC, the minimum monitoring frequency may be reduced to once every 5 years if the plant uses VCM gas detectors to continuously monitor VCM emissions in a way that allows an equivalent level of detection of VCM leaks.

(55)  In the case of high-integrity equipment (see BAT 23 b.) in contact with VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B, a lower minimum monitoring frequency may be adopted, but in any case at least once every 5 years.

(56)  In the case of high-integrity equipment (see BAT 23 b.) in contact with VOCs other than VOCs classified as CMR 1A or 1B, a lower minimum monitoring frequency may be adopted, but in any case at least once every 8 years.

(57)  The minimum monitoring frequency may be reduced to once every 5 years if non-fugitive emissions are quantified by using measurements.

(58)  This standard may be complemented by EN 17628.

(59)  The BAT-AEL does not apply to plants whose total annual consumption of solvents is lower than 50 tonnes.

(60)  The lower end of the BAT-AEL range is typically associated with the gas-phase polymerisation process.

(61)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 2,7 g C/kg in the case of the production of EVA or other copolymers (e.g. ethyl acrylate copolymers).

(62)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 4,7 g C/kg if both of the following conditions are met:

thermal oxidation is not applicable;

EVA or other copolymers (e.g. ethyl acrylate copolymers) are produced.

(63)  The monitoring of VCM emissions from finishing steps (e.g. drying, blending) as well as from the transfer, handling and storage of PVC may be replaced by the monitoring in BAT 27.

(64)  Generic EN standards for continuous measurements are EN 14181, EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2 and EN 15267-3.

(65)  The minimum monitoring frequency may be reduced to once every 6 months if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.

(66)  To the extent possible, the measurements are carried out at the highest expected emission state under normal operating conditions.

(67)  The minimum monitoring frequency may be reduced to once every year if the emission levels are proven to be sufficiently stable.

(68)  The BAT-AEL does not apply to minor emissions (i.e. when the VCM mass flow is below e.g. 1 g/h).

(69)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 5 mg/Nm3 if both of the following conditions are met:

thermal oxidation is not applicable;

the plant is not directly associated to the production of EDC and VCM.

(70)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 0,5 g VCM per kg of PVC produced if both of the following conditions are met:

thermal oxidation is not applicable;

the plant is not directly associated to the production of EDC and VCM.

(71)  The monitoring only applies when the substance concerned is identified as relevant in the waste gas stream based on the inventory given in BAT 2.

(72)  Generic EN standards for continuous measurements are EN 14181, EN 15267-1, EN 15267-2 and EN 15267-3.

(73)  In the case of the production of casing, the minimum monitoring frequency may be reduced to once every month when continuous monitoring is not possible due to analytical interference.

(74)  To the extent possible, the measurements are carried out at the highest expected emission state under normal operating conditions.

(75)  The BAT-AEL does not apply to the production of filament yarn.

(76)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 500 mg CS2/Nm3 if:

a)

both of the following conditions are fulfilled:

bioprocesses (see BAT 35 b) are not applicable;

the CS2 recovery efficiency (see BAT 34) is ≥ 97 %; or

b)

CS2 recovery is not applicable.

(77)  The lower end of the BAT-AEL range can be achieved by using thermal oxidation or technique d. in BAT 34.

(78)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 30 mg/Nm3, when the sum of H2S and CS2 (expressed as Total S) is close to the lower end of the BAT-AEL range in Table 1.14.

(79)  Emissions to air refer to channelled emissions only.

(80)  In the case of the production of complex inorganic pigments, the upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 400 mg/Nm3 when condition b) below is met, and up to 1 000 mg/Nm3 when conditions a) and b) below are met:

a)

the combustion temperature is higher than 1 000 C;

b)

oxygen-enriched air or pure oxygen is used.

(81)  The BAT-AEL does not apply to minor emissions (i.e. when the NOX mass flow is below e.g. 500 g/h).

(82)  The upper end of the BAT-AEL range may be higher and up to 200 mg/Nm3 when direct heating is used.

(83)  As an indication, the emission levels for carbon monoxide are 4-50 mg/Nm3, as a daily average or average over the sampling period.
