            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/2446
of 12 December 2022
         
amending Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201 on the appointment of certain members and their alternates of the Network Management Board and of the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell for the air traffic management network functions
(Text with EEA relevance)


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 (1), and in particular Article 6(4) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 (2) 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 Board and the Cell upon proposals from their organisations, the European Defence Agency or Eurocontrol.












(3)


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 from 2020 to 2024 by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2168 (3).












(4)


Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201 (4) 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.












(5)


In 2021, after the entry into force of Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201, the Commission received a number of proposals for new appointments for both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell. Those proposals were incorporated in Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201 through Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/723 (5).












(6)


Since, the Commission received a number of proposals for new appointments for both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell.












(7)


Proposals received included one from Eurocontrol nominating four representatives of air navigation service providers of associated countries for 2023. It is necessary to accept these nominations for 2023 so that the representatives of associated countries can be rotated in the following years, as provided for in Article 18(7) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123.












(8)


All persons proposed for appointment should replace, as from the entry into force of this Decision, the persons appointed previously.












(9)


This Decision should enter into force as a matter of urgency so that new appointees can join the Network Management Board from 1 January 2023.












(10)


The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
The persons listed in Annex I shall be appointed for the period from the entry into force of this Decision until 31 December 2024 as members and alternates to the Network Management Board, in the capacity referred to in that Annex. Where the Annex specifies a shorter time period, that time period shall apply.
The current terms of office covered by the appointments referred to in the first paragraph shall expire upon the entry into force of this Decision.


Article 2
The persons listed in Annex II shall be appointed for the period from the entry into force of this Decision until 31 December 2024 as the members and alternates to the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell, in the capacity referred to in that Annex.
