Single European Sky: interoperability of the European traffic management network

The Conciliation Committee reached agreement on the one outstanding point of issue concerning the regulation on the interoperability of the traffic management network in the Single European Sky, namely, the timetable for compliance of new and existing systems and constituents with the essential requirements. Although Parliament had wanted the process of conformity of all systems to be speeded up, in the end it agreed to accept the Council's proposal that the requirements should apply to new systems and constituents 18 months after the regulation's entry into force and to existing systems and constituents 7 years after the regulation's entry into force. �
