## Report on Commission Decision EU 2025/1063 Regarding the Single European Sky Performance and Charging Scheme for Spain
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes Commission Decision EU 2025/1063, a decision concerning the consistency of Spain's draft performance plan with the Union-wide performance targets for the fourth reference period (RP4) of the Single European Sky (SES) performance and charging scheme. The decision, based on Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, Regulation (EU) 2024/2803, and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, concludes that the performance targets included in Spain's draft plan are generally consistent with the Union-wide targets, with some recommendations for improvement, particularly regarding environment and capacity targets. The report details the key performance areas of safety, environment, capacity, and cost-efficiency, highlighting areas where Spain's targets align with or deviate from Union-wide goals and the recommended actions for Spain.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide an informative overview and analysis of Commission Decision EU 2025/1063. This analysis is based solely on the provided text of the Commission Decision.
**3. Policy Overview:**
This is a **New Policy** document.
* **Core Objective(s):** The primary objective of this decision is to assess the consistency of Spain's draft performance plan for air navigation services and network functions with the Union-wide performance targets for the fourth reference period (2025-2029) of the Single European Sky (SES) performance and charging scheme. This assessment covers the key performance areas of safety, environment, capacity, and cost-efficiency. The ultimate objective is to ensure a harmonized and efficient air traffic management system across Europe.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
As a new policy, this section explains the likely problem/issue the policy addresses, inferring from the text.
The Single European Sky initiative aims to create a more efficient, safer, and environmentally friendly air traffic management (ATM) system across Europe. A key component of this initiative is the establishment of Union-wide performance targets for air navigation services. Member States are required to develop national or functional airspace block (FAB) plans with performance targets that are consistent with these Union-wide goals. This decision addresses the need to assess the consistency of Spain's draft performance plan with the Union-wide targets for the fourth reference period (RP4), to ensure Spain contributes effectively to the overall objectives of the Single European Sky. Without this assessment, inconsistencies could arise, hindering the achievement of the SES goals and potentially leading to inefficiencies and safety concerns.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
As a new policy, this details the main components, rules, and actions mandated by the entire provided text. The policy establishes that:
* Spain's draft performance plan for RP4 (2025-2029) is assessed against Union-wide targets for safety, environment, capacity, and cost-efficiency, as set out in Implementing Decision EU 2024/1688.
* **Safety:** The safety performance targets proposed by Spain for ENAIRE, Skyway and EA are considered consistent with the Union-wide safety targets, as long as those targets are reached by the final year of RP4 (2029).
* **Environment:** The environment performance targets proposed by Spain are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each calendar year of RP4 and are deemed consistent with Union-wide targets. However, Spain is urged to strengthen measures to achieve these targets, specifically by committing to the operational measures outlined in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (ERNIP).
* **Capacity:** The en route capacity targets proposed by Spain are equal to the corresponding national reference values for each calendar year of RP4 and are considered consistent with Union-wide targets. Spain is recommended to accelerate or strengthen the implementation of capacity enhancement measures.
* **Cost-Efficiency:** The cost-efficiency targets proposed by Spain are considered consistent with Union-wide targets, despite slight deviations in the DUC trend, because Spain's long-term DUC trends outperform the Union-wide trend, and the baseline value for 2024 is lower than the comparator group average.
* The Commission directs Spain to strengthen the measures for achieving environment targets in its final performance plan, including a commitment to operational measures in the ERNIP. Spain should also accelerate or strengthen the implementation of capacity enhancement measures in its final performance plan.
* The annex of the document lists the specific targets for each key performance area.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the text, the primary target audience and stakeholders include:
* The Kingdom of Spain (specifically its air navigation service providers and relevant aviation authorities).
* ENAIRE (Spain's primary air navigation service provider).
* Skyway and EA (Providers of terminal air navigation services).
* The European Commission.
* The Performance Review Body (PRB).
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible agency/bodies:** The European Commission is responsible for assessing the consistency of Spain's draft performance plan. ENAIRE, Skyway and EA, under the oversight of Spanish authorities, are responsible for implementing the performance targets outlined in their plan.
* **Timelines/procedures:** Spain was required to submit a draft performance plan to the Commission by October 1, 2024, with an updated draft submitted by November 15, 2024. Spain is also required to adopt a final performance plan in accordance with Article 16 of Implementing Regulation EU 2019/317. The performance targets cover the reference period from 2025 to 2029.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The intended outcomes of this decision, based on the policy's stated provisions in the text, are:
* Ensuring that Spain's air navigation services contribute effectively to the overall performance targets of the Single European Sky.
* Improved safety, environmental sustainability, capacity, and cost-efficiency in air traffic management within Spanish airspace.
* Enhanced alignment of Spain's air navigation service provision with European standards and best practices.
* In the short term, the decision promotes revisions and adjustments to be made by Spain in the final performance plan, especially for the environment and capacity targets.
**9. Conclusion:**
Commission Decision EU 2025/1063 plays a crucial role in ensuring the effective implementation of the Single European Sky initiative by evaluating and promoting consistency in the performance targets of Member States. While Spain's draft performance plan is largely consistent with Union-wide targets, the decision highlights the need for strengthened measures in the areas of environmental sustainability and capacity. By addressing these areas and implementing the recommendations outlined in the decision, Spain can further contribute to a more efficient, safer, and environmentally responsible air traffic management system across Europe.

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 laying
down the framework for the creation of the single European sky (the framework Regulation)(1), and in particular
Article 11(3) point (c) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2024/2803 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 on the
implementation of the Single European Sky(2), and in particular Article 58(3) thereof,
Having regard to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 of 11 February 2019 laying down a performance
and charging scheme in the single European sky and repealing Implementing Regulations (EU) No 390/2013 and (EU)
No 391/2013(3), and in particular Article 14(2) thereof,
Whereas:
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
(1) Pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, Member States are to draw up plans, either at national level
or at the level of functional airspace blocks (‘FABs’), including performance targets, for each reference period of the
performance and charging scheme for air navigation services and network functions. Those plans are to include local
performance targets which are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for the reference period
concerned.
(2) The Union-wide performance targets for the fourth reference period (‘RP4’, 2025-2029) were set out in Commission
Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1688(4).
(3) All Member States have drawn up and adopted draft performance plans for RP4, which were submitted to the
Commission for assessment by 1 October 2024. Following the verification of completeness of those draft
performance plans, the Commission requested Member States to submit updated draft performance plans by
15 November 2024.
(4) The Commission’s assessment presented in this Decision is based on the updated draft performance plan for RP4
submitted by Spain (‘the draft performance plan’).
(5) The Performance Review Body (‘PRB’), assisting the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme,
has submitted to the Commission a report containing its advice on the assessment of the draft performance plans.

OJ L, 28.5.2025
(6) In accordance with Article 14(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has assessed the
consistency of the local performance targets included in the draft performance plan on the basis of the criteria laid
down in point 1 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation, and taking account of local circumstances where
relevant.
(7) The Commission has complemented its assessment of the draft performance plan with a review of the elements set
out in point 2 of Annex IV to that Implementing Regulation. In respect of point 2.1(d)(vii) of Annex IV to
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission notes that it has not conducted, as part of that review, a
detailed analysis of the methodology used by Spain for the allocation of costs between en routeand terminal services
in RP4. Therefore, the Commission has not drawn any conclusions, at this stage, in respect of the compliance of that
cost allocation methodology with points (e) and (f) of Article 15(2) Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 of the European
Parliament and of the Council(5)and Article 22(5) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.
COMMISSION ASSESSMENT
Assessment of the safety targets
(8) As regards the key performance area of safety, the consistency of the targets included in the draft performance plan
has been assessed in accordance with point 1.1 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.
(9) The performance targets in the key performance area of safety proposed by Spain in respect of the effectiveness of
safety management, broken down per safety management objective and expressed as a level of implementation, are
as follows:
Targets on the effectiveness of safety management, expressed as a level of implementation,
Spain

Safety policy and
C C C C C
objectives
Safety risk management C C C C D
ENAIRE
Safety assurance C C C C C
Safety promotion C C C C C
Safety culture C C C C C
(10) The Commission has found that the safety performance targets proposed by Spain for the air navigation service
provider ‘ENAIRE’ are equal to the Union-wide safety targets for each calendar year from 2025 to 2029 for each
safety management objective, except for the ‘safety risk management’ objective for which the level of the Union-wide
target is planned to be reached in year 2029.
(11) The Commission notes that the draft performance plan sets out measures for ENAIRE for the achievement of the
local safety targets, such as the conduct of safety culture surveys, the sharing of safety-related data with relevant
stakeholders, and participation in international operational safety working groups.
(5) Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the provision of air navigation
services in the single European sky (the service provision Regulation) (OJ L 96, 31.3.2004, p. 10, ELI http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/
2004/550/oj).
2/8 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2025/1063/ojEN
OJ L, 28.5.2025
(12) The safety targets proposed by Spain for the providers of terminal air navigation services in the scope of the draft
performance plan, namely ‘Skyway’ and ‘EA’, are also in line with the Union-wide performance targets. The
Commission further notes that Spain has set out measures for the achievement of their safety performance targets.
(13) On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (9) to (12) and considering that the Union-wide safety performance
targets set in Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1688 must be achieved by the final year of RP4, that is, 2029, the
local safety performance targets included in the draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the
Union-wide performance targets.
Assessment of the environment targets
(14) As regards the key performance area of environment, the consistency of the targets included in the draft performance
plan regarding the average horizontal en routeflight efficiency of the actual trajectory has been assessed based on the
criterion laid down in point 1.2 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed
environment targets of Spain have been compared to the relevant en routehorizontal flight efficiency reference values
set out in the European Route Network Improvement Plan (‘ERNIP’), drawn up in accordance with Annex I to
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123(6) and available at the time of adopting the Union-wide
performance targets for RP4, that is on 2 July 2024.
(15) The environment performance targets proposed by Spain for RP4 and the corresponding national reference values
from the ERNIP, expressed as the average horizontal en routeflight efficiency of the actual trajectory, are as follows:
Spain 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029
Targets in the key
performance area of
environment, expressed
2,86 % 2,82 % 2,79 % 2,75 % 2,74 %
as the average horizontal en
routeflight efficiency of the
actual trajectory
Reference values 2,86 % 2,82 % 2,79 % 2,75 % 2,74 %
(16) The Commission observes that the environment targets proposed by Spain are equal to the corresponding national
reference values for each calendar year of RP4.
(17) On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (15) and (16), the targets in the key performance area of environment
included in the draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets
for RP4.
(18) The Commission notes that Spain has presented, in the draft performance plan, measures for the achievement of the
local environment targets which include the implementation of enhanced cross-border free route airspace, the
promotion of continuous descent and climb operations, and participation in European initiatives fostering improved
flight efficiency.
(19) However, having regard to the PRB’s findings, the Commission has doubts whether the measures presented by Spain
in the draft performance plan for the achievement of the environment performance targets are adequate to enable
those targets to be effectively reached. In particular, it is noted that Spain has not expressly committed, in the draft
performance plan, to the implementation of the operational measures set out in the ERNIP.
(6) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 of 24 January 2019 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of air
traffic management (ATM) network functions and repealing Commission Regulation (EU) No 677/2011 (OJ L 28, 31.1.2019, p. 1,
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2019/123/oj).
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2025/1063/oj 3/8EN
OJ L, 28.5.2025
(20) Therefore, the Commission considers that, in connection with the adoption of its final performance plan in
accordance with Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, Spain should strengthen the
measures for the achievement of its environment targets for RP4 presented in the draft performance plan, including
by committing to all the operational measures set out in the ERNIP.
Assessment of the capacity targets
(21) As regards the key performance area of capacity, the consistency of the targets included in the draft performance plan
regarding the average en routeair traffic flow management (‘ATFM’) delay per flight has been assessed based on the
criterion laid down in point 1.3 of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317. Accordingly, the proposed
en route capacity targets of Spain have been compared to the relevant reference values set out in the Network
Operations Plan drawn up in accordance with Article 9 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 and available at
the time of adopting the Union-wide performance targets for RP4, that is on 2 July 2024.
(22) The en route capacity targets proposed by Spain for RP4, expressed in minutes of ATFM delay per flight, and the
corresponding reference values from the Network Operations Plan, are as follows:
Spain 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029
Targets in the key
performance area of
capacity, expressed in 0,38 0,29 0,24 0,21 0,21
minutes of en routeATFM
delay per flight
Reference values 0,38 0,29 0,24 0,21 0,21
(23) The Commission observes that the en route capacity targets proposed by Spain are equal to the corresponding
national reference values for each calendar year of RP4.
(24) The Commission notes that Spain has presented, in the draft performance plan, measures for the achievement of its
en route capacity targets. Those measures include the hiring of additional air traffic control officers (‘ATCOs’),
improvements in the rostering system for ATCOs, the re-evaluation and adaptation of sector capacities, and the
modernisation of the current air traffic management system.
(25) On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (22) to (24), the targets in the key performance area of capacity included
in the draft performance plan of Spain should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets
for RP4.
(26) However, having regard to the findings of the PRB and considering the degraded actual capacity performance
recorded for year 2024, the Commission considers that Spain should accelerate the implementation of the capacity-
enhancement measures set out in the draft performance or should strengthen those measures, in order to support
the achievement of its capacity performance targets for RP4. Such modifications should be included by Spain in its
final performance plan to be adopted in accordance with Article 16, point (a) of Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2019/317.
Review of the capacity targets for terminal air navigation services
(27) In accordance with point 2.1(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has
complemented its assessment of the draft performance plan by reviewing the capacity performance targets for
terminal air navigation services set in respect of the airports referred to in Articles 1(3) and (4) of that Implementing
Regulation. It was found that those targets do not give rise to concerns.

OJ L, 28.5.2025
Assessment of the cost-efficiency targets
(28) As regards the key performance area of cost-efficiency, the consistency of the targets included in the draft
performance plan regarding the determined unit cost (‘DUC’) for en route air navigation services has been assessed
based on the criteria laid down in points 1.4(a), (b) and (c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.
Those criteria consist of the DUC trend over RP4, the long-term DUC trend over the third reference period (‘RP3’) and
RP4 (2020-2029), and the baseline value for the DUC at charging zone level compared with the average value of the
charging zones where air navigation service providers have a similar operational and economic environment.
(29) The en routecost-efficiency targets proposed by Spain for the Spain Continental and Spain Canarias charging zones
for RP4, and the related baseline values, are as follows:
2019 2024

terms at 2022 prices)
(30) Concerning the assessment criterion set out in point 1.4(a) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317,
the Commission observes that Spain’s DUC trends over RP4 at the charging zone levels of Spain Continental and
Spain Canarias of - 0,8 % and - 0,2 % respectively underperform the Union-wide trend of - 1,2 % over the same
period.
(31) Concerning the assessment criterion set out in point 1.4(b) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317,
the Commission observes that Spain’s long-term DUC trends at the charging zone levels over RP3 and RP4 of Spain
Continental and Spain Canarias, both amounting to - 1,2 %, outperform the long-term Union-wide trend of - 1,0 %
over the same period.
(32) Concerning the assessment criterion set out in point 1.4(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317,
the Commission observes that Spain’s baseline value for the DUC of EUR 53,55 in real terms at 2022 prices
(‘EUR2022’) is 17,3 % lower than the average baseline value of EUR 64,78 in EUR2022 of the relevant comparator
group set out in Article 7 Implementing Decision (EU) 2024/1688.
(33) It is clear that Spain’s long-term DUC trends outperform the corresponding Union-wide trend and that Spain
demonstrates a good cost-efficiency performance in respect of the baseline value for 2024, which is lower than the
corresponding comparator group average. Furthermore, Spain’s cost-efficiency targets lead to a reduction of the
DUC over RP4 for both of its charging zones. Therefore, the Commission considers that the limited deviations from
the Union-wide DUC trend for RP4 referred to in recital (30) do not preclude Spain’s cost-efficiency performance
targets from being consistent with the Union-wide cost-efficiency performance targets.
ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2025/1063/oj 5/8EN
OJ L, 28.5.2025
(34) On the basis of the findings set out in recitals (29) to (33), the targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency
included in the draft performance plan should be considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets
for RP4.
Review of the cost-efficiency targets for terminal air navigation services
(35) In accordance with point 2.1(c) of Annex IV to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, the Commission has
complemented its assessment of the draft performance plan by reviewing the cost-efficiency performance targets for
terminal air navigation services set in respect of the airports referred to in Articles 1(3) and (4) of that Implementing
Regulation. It was found that those targets do not give rise to concerns.
CONCLUSIONS
(36) In the light of the foregoing, the performance targets included in the draft performance plan of Spain should be
considered consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for RP4,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The performance targets included in the draft performance plan submitted by Spain for the fourth reference period (‘RP4’),
listed in the Annex to this Decision, are consistent with the Union-wide performance targets for RP4 set out in
