   on the appointment of the chairperson, the members and their alternates of the Network Management Board for the air traffic management network functions for the second reference period (2015-2019)
   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 the airspace in the single European sky (the airspace Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 6(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) No 677/2011 (2), the Network Manager established a Network Management Board in order to adopt measures relating to the governance of the network functions and to monitor their performance. That Regulation provides that representatives of certain organisations are voting members of the Network Management Board, that those voting members have alternates and that those members and their alternates are to be appointed upon proposals by the organisations concerned. It also provides that the Board shall have a chairperson, who is one of its members.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Network Management Board, the chairperson, the voting and non-voting members and their respective alternates are appointed for the duration of one reference period of the performance scheme referred to in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). Pursuant to Article 7(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 (4), the second reference period runs from 1 January 2015 until 31 December 2019.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In February and March 2015, the organisations concerned proposed candidates for their representatives in the Network Management Board.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               In accordance with those proposals, the voting and non-voting members and their respective alternates, as well as the chairperson, of the Network Management Board should now be appointed, for the duration of the second reference period.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               For reasons of clarity and transparency, Commission Decision C(2012) 9613, which concerns the appointment of the chairperson, the voting members and their alternates of the Network Management Board for the duration of the first reference period, should be repealed.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Considering that the second reference period began on 1 January 2015 and the appointments provided for in this Decision should coincide with that period, this Decision should enter into force on the day following that of its publication and it should apply with retroactive effect from 1 January 2015.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004,
