For the performance reference period starting on 1 January 2012 and ending on 31 December 2014, the European Union-wide performance targets shall be as follows:
(a) environment target : an improvement by 0,75 of a percentage point of the average horizontal en route flight efficiency indicator in 2014 as compared to the situation in 2009;
(b) capacity target : an improvement of the average en route Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) delay so as to reach a maximum of 0,5 minute per flight in 2014;
(c) cost-efficiency target : a reduction of the average European Union-wide determined unit rate for en route air navigation services from 59,97 EUR in 2011 to 53,92 EUR in 2014 (expressed in real terms, EUR 2009), with intermediate annual values of 57,88 EUR in 2012 and 55,87 EUR in 2013.
(1) For all key performance indicators applicable to the performance reference period, the alert threshold beyond which the alert mechanism referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 may be activated shall be a deviation over a calendar year by at least 10 % of the actual traffic recorded by the Performance Review Body versus the traffic forecasts referred to in Article 3.
(2) For the cost-efficiency indicator, the costs evolution alert threshold beyond which the alert mechanism referred to in Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 may be activated shall be a deviation over a calendar year by at least 10 % of the actual costs at European Union-wide level recorded by the Performance Review Body versus the reference determined costs referred to in Article 3.
Articles 1 and 2 of this Decision are based on the following assumptions:
(1)
traffic forecasted at European Union-wide level, expressed in en route service units: 108 776 000 in 2012, 111 605 000 in 2013 and 114 610 000 in 2014;
(2)
reference determined costs forecasted at European Union-wide level (expressed in real terms, EUR 2009): 6 296 000 000 in 2012, 6 234 000 000 in 2013 and 6 179 000 000 in 2014.
In accordance with Article 16(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 691/2010, the Commission shall decide to revise the EU-wide targets set out in Article 1 if, before the beginning of the reference period, it has substantial evidence that the initial data, assumptions and/or rationales used for setting the initial EU-wide targets are no longer valid.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union . National or functional airspace blocks performance plans adopted after 1 January 2012 shall apply retroactively as from the first day of the reference period.
