• ED Decision 2017/001/R found in: ATM/ANS Provision of Services (2017/373) (Mar 2025)

GM1 Article 6 ‘Service providers’ ED Decision 2017/001/R PROVISION OF ATFM AND/OR ASM (a) In most cases, the provision of ATFM and/or ASM takes place in a bundled service performed by the ATS providers. However, the provision of ATFM and/or ASM as a bundled service is not a legal requirement. (b) Initially under the single European sky (SES) I initiative in 2004 with the adoption of [Regulation (EC) No 549/2004](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:2004R0549:20091204:EN:PDF), functions were not subject to certification; they were only subject to continuous oversight. This difference between functions and services was removed in the 2009 with the SESII initiative and the amendments to [Regulation (EC) No 216/2008](http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02008R0216-20130129) (the EASA Basic Regulation), with the effect that the two concepts now have an identical certification and oversight regime.
