         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2022/723
         of 10 May 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 the airspace in the single European sky (the airspace Regulation) (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)
                  
                  
                     Pursuant to Article 18(7) and Article 19(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123, the Commission shall appoint members and their alternates of the Board and the Cell upon proposals from their organisations, EDA 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 for the period from 2020 to 2024 by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2168 (3).
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     In 2020, 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 for both the Network Management Board and the European Aviation Crisis Coordination Cell
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     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.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Proposals received included one from Eurocontrol nominating four representatives of Air Navigation Service Providers of associated countries for 2022 and 2023. The Commission should accept these nominations only for 2022 in order to allow rotation of representatives of associated countries in the following years, as provided for in Article 18(7) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     A proposal from airspace users for a new voting member and vice-chairperson representing airspace users only partially fulfils the necessary qualifications required for this post since operational experience is required. This appointment shall therefore be limited to 31 December 2022 to give airspace users more time to provide for a proposal of a representative as from 1 January 2023 that better meets the requirements for this post.
                  
               
                     (8)
                  
                  
                     All persons proposed for appointment should replace, as from the entry into force of this Decision, the persons appointed by Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/2168 as amended by Implementing Decision (EU) 2020/2201.
                  
               
                     (9)
                  
                  
                     This Decision should enter into force as a matter of urgency to allow new appointments to be able to join the Network management board for its next meeting.
                  
               
                     (10)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Single Sky Committee,
                  
               HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
