L 48/16 Official Journal of the European Union 23.2.2011 DECISIONS COMMISSION DECISION of 21 February 2011 setting the European Union-wide performance targets and alert thresholds for the provision of air navigation services for the years 2012 to 2014 (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/121/EV) 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) (!), and in particular Article 11(1) thereof, Whereas: Commission Regulation (EU) No 691/2010 of 29 July 2010 laying down a performance scheme for air navi- gation services and network functions and amending Regulation (EC) No 2096/2005 laying down common requirements for the provision of air navigation services (%) provides for the adoption by the Commission of European Union-wide performance targets. The Commission held on 27 May 2010 a consultation on the approach and processes for setting European Union-wide performance targets, associating all stake- holders listed in Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004. A Performance Review Body was designated on 29 July 2010 by the Commission further to Article 3 of Regu- lation (EU) No 691/2010 to assist it in the implemen- tation of the performance scheme. The Performance Review Body prepared European Union-wide  performance  targets  proposals  in collaboration with EASA, which were submitted on 96, 31.3.2004, p. 1. 201, 3.8.2010, p. 1. = 2 August 2010 for stakeholder consultation as required by Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 691/2010. The Performance Review Body's proposed EU-wide performance targets for environment, capacity and cost- efficiency have been checked with EASA for consistency with the overriding safety objectives. The  Performance Review Body delivered on 27 September 2010 to the Commission its recommen- dations for European Union-wide performance targets for the period 2012-2014 in a report substantiating each of the recommendations with a description of the assumptions and rationale used for setting up the targets and containing in annexes a consultation document summarising the consultation process as well as a comments response document outlining how comments were taken into account in the preparation of the recommendations to the Commission. The European Union-wide performance targets are based on the information available to the Commission and the Performance Review Body up to 24 November 2010. According to the forecasts provided by Member States to the Commission and Eurocontrol under the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1794/2006 (}) the average European Union-wide determined unit rate for en route air navigation services would be 55,91 EUR in 2014 (expressed in real terms, EUR 2009), with inter- mediate annual values of 58,38 EUR in 2012 and 56,95 EUR in 2013. These values take into account the latest planned costs of the Eurocontrol Agency, including for the EU Member States a one-off reduction of 0,69 EUR per en route service unit in 2011. The Commission, taking into account the report of the Performance Review Body and the efficiency improvements that can be expected from the gradual and coordinated implementation of all elements of the second Single European Sky package, is of the opinion that the EU-wide cost efficiency target can be set at a level that is lower than the latest consolidated Member States’ plans.
