The Civil Aviation (Route Charges for Navigation Services) (Amendment) Regulations 2000

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Civil Aviation (Route Charges for Navigation Services) Regulations 1999 (the “principal Regulations”) as follows:

The unit rate in euros set out in column (3) of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations is decreased in the case of Slovakia from 54.95 to 53.53.

The unit rates in euros set out in column (3) of Schedule 2 to the principal Regulations are calculated by reference to the costs of provision of en-route navigation services in the participating countries in the Eurocontrol charges system, the amount of traffic using each country’s airspace and the relationship of each country’s currency to the euro over a period agreed by Ministers of the participating countries. The interaction of these elements varies in each country.

The United Kingdom Air Pilot and the foreign Aeronautical Information Publications referred to in the principal Regulations can be purchased from Westward Documedia Limited, 37 Windsor Street, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire GL52 2DG and can be inspected at major aerodromes in the United Kingdom.
