THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the organisation and use of airspace in the single European sky, and in particular Article 6(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 establishes a Network Management Board to monitor and steer the execution of air traffic management network functions. It also establishes a European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell to ensure effective crisis management at network level.
(2) Under Article 18(7) and Article 19(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123, the Commission is to appoint members and their alternatives to the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell upon proposals from their organisations, the European Defence Agency or Eurocontrol.
(3) Under Article 18(8) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123, the Commission may also appoint observers to the Network Management Board.
(4) The chairperson, vice-chairpersons, members of the Network Management Board and their alternates, and the members of the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell and their alternates have been appointed for the period from 2020 to 2024 by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2168.
(5) Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201, took into account a number of proposals by the designated authorities identified in Article 18(7) and Article 19(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 for appointments to both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell.
(6) Subsequently, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/723 and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2446 took into account a number of proposals for appointments for both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell and amended Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201.
(7) In 2023, the Commission received a number of proposals for new appointments for both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell.
(8) The proposals include one from Eurocontrol nominating four representatives of air navigation service providers of associated countries for 2024. It is necessary to accept these nominations for 2024 so that the representatives of associated countries can be rotated, as provided for in Article 18(7) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123.
(9) Proceedings in the Network Management Board have demonstrated the need to bring in new expertise as observers. Some experts from aviation related bodies at European level should therefore be granted observer status to the Network Management Board.
(10) All persons proposed for appointment should replace, as from the entry into force of this Decision, the persons appointed previously.
(11) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
