Single European Sky: organisation and use of the airspace

The European Parliament adopted the report drafted by Marieke SANDERS - TEN HOLTE (ELDR, NL) and made some amendments to the Commission's proposal. (Please refer to the document dated 10/07/02.) Parliament stated that the single European Upper Flight Information Region (EUIR) should be established within five years of entry into force of the regulation. Amendments in the recitals call for the plan for creating uniform functional airspace blocks to be drawn up by Eurocontrol, and for sanctions to be introduced in order to ensure that airspace users comply with the system.�
