• Regulation (EU) 2019/317 found in: SKPI (2019/317) Safety Key Performance Indicators (Dec 2020)

Article 10 — Performance plans Regulation (EU) 2019/317 1. National supervisory authorities shall draw up performance plans, either at national level or at the level of functional airspace blocks. 2. The performance plans shall be drawn up in accordance with the template set out in [Annex II](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943981) and shall include: (a) binding national performance targets or binding FAB performance targets, set on the basis of the key performance indicators referred to in [Article 8(2)](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943974), including a ‘baseline value for determined costs’ and a ‘baseline value for the determined unit cost’ for each charging zone, for the purpose of setting targets in the key performance area of cost- efficiency. Those baseline values shall be calculated in respect to the year preceding the start of the reference period. The baseline value for determined costs shall be estimated by using the actual costs available for the preceding reference period and shall be adjusted to take account of latest available cost estimates, traffic variations and their relation to costs. The baseline value for the determined unit costs shall be derived by dividing the baseline value for the determined costs with the latest available traffic forecast expressed in service units for the year preceding the start of the reference period; (b) determined costs for *en route* and terminal air navigation services set in accordance with points (a) and (b) of Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 and with this Regulation; (c) the incentive schemes established in accordance with [Article 11](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943980), specifying the parameters of the incentive schemes, the modulation mechanism of pivot values referred to in Article 11(3) where applicable, as well as measures aimed at achieving the objectives of those incentive schemes; (d) a description of the main measures aimed at achieving performance targets; (e) a confirmation that it is consistent with the scope of this Regulation pursuant to [Article 1](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943956) of this Regulation and Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004; (f) *en route* traffic forecasts, expressed in terms of IFR movements and in service units and based on Eurocontrol's STATFOR base forecast; (g) terminal traffic forecasts, expressed in terms of IFR movements and in service units, based on Eurocontrol's STATFOR base forecast; (h) a description of initiatives to support cross-border coordination and the provision of cross-border services which are beneficial to the operational performance or cost-efficiency, or both; (i) information about: (i) major investments; (ii) change management plans for the entry into service of major airspace changes or for ATM system improvements, aimed at minimising any negative impact on the network performance. However, as regards point (f) and (g), national supervisory authorities may decide to use other *en route* and terminal traffic forecasts than those based on Eurocontrol's STATFOR base forecast. In that case, they shall consult the airspace users' representatives and air navigation service providers concerned and set out the reasons for using the other forecasts in the performance plan. Any differences with the Eurocontrol's STATFOR base forecast shall be related to specific local factors not sufficiently addressed by Eurocontrol's STATFOR base forecast. The same forecasts shall be used for all key performance areas. 3. The performance plans may contain additional performance targets set on the basis of the key performance indicators referred to in [Article 8(4)](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943974). Those targets shall support the achievement of the performance targets referred to in [Article 9(3)](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943968) and in point (a) of paragraph 2 of this Article. 4. In accordance with Article 10(1) and point (b) of Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004, national supervisory authorities shall consult air navigation service providers, airspace users' representatives and, where relevant, airport operators and airport coordinators on the draft performance plans, including on the performance targets and incentive schemes contained therein. 5. The Network Manager shall draw up the Network Performance Plan. The Network Performance Plan shall be drawn up in accordance with the template set out in [Annex III](#_DxCrossRefBm1409943979) and shall set out: (a) the value added of the Network Manager in support to the activities of Member States, functional airspace blocks, air navigation service providers and civil and military airspace users towards achieving capacity and environment targets, and set out the contribution of the network functions towards achieving the Union-wide performance targets; (b) the performance targets and objectives for the Network Manager and for each network function and the measures aimed at achieving those targets. 6. Where as provided in the fourth subparagraph of point (c) of Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 549/2004 the Commission has revised the Union-wide performance targets, Member States shall revise their performance plans and include revised performance targets in accordance with this Regulation.
