The report shows that there were deficiencies in all these areas and indicates some of the improvements that would be needed: airports, investment in ATM, fragmentation, civil-military co-ordination and ATM governance. The European Union, EUROCONTROL and States have an opportunity to address these issues in the context of the Single European Sky, expected to be in place by 31 December 2004.
