SECTION 9 AIR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT NETWORK

Projects of common interest are deemed to include any project leading to an increase in the capacity of the system and optimising its use which forms part of a pattern of harmonisation and integration of the facilities and procedures of the various national connecting points and complies with the relevant international standards defined by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and by the competent European bodies, all of the foregoing taking account in particular of the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol).

Such projects relate to:

• studies on better utilisation of airspace by the various users and the establishment of a consistent and efficient system of routes,

• air traffic planning and management which helps supply keep pace with demand and makes optimal use of available control capacities,

• the studies and work necessary for the harmonisation of facilities and procedures so as to integrate the various service providers taking particular account of the guidelines adopted by the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC),

• the improvement of system productivity, in particular by means of automated control assistance and potential conflict detection and resolution systems,

• contributions to the installation of means of communication, navigation and surveillance necessary for air traffic control, including the promotion of new technologies, in particular satellites and digital data networks, where that leads to compliance with European common specifications.
