"In recent years, increased air traffic has meant that Europe’s airspace is fast approaching its maximum capacity, and the problem can only be expected to grow over time. The fundamental processes of air traffic control have barely evolved since World War II: controllers continue to communicate instructions to pilots by radio voice communication. Implementation of the Single European Sky (SES) legislation would offer the possibility to move to a more modernised and automated industry. This would allow controllers to contribute to a more flexible, robust and innovative industry. Despite the fact that the implementation of the SES has already taken many positive steps forward, I am particularly concerned with the timing aspects of its implementation. The benefits of a full and timely implementation of the SES are too great to ignore: a study on the macro-economic impact shows a cumulative impact on EU GDP of EUR 419 billion, 328 000 jobs created and 50 million tonnes of CO saved. For these reasons alone, it is clear why it is so pressing to make Europe’s airspace as efficient as possible. I agree with the rapporteur’s request to the European Commission to report back to Parliament by a fixed date on progress with the implementation of the SES legislation."@en1
