In this audit, we reviewed the EU’s intervention in the
deployment phase of SESAR, the technological pillar of the
EU’s Single European Sky (SES) initiative. SESAR seeks to
harmonise and modernise Air Traffic Management across
Europe.
Overall, we conclude that the EU’s regulatory intervention
in the form of common projects has added value. However,
we also found that EU funding in support of ATM
modernisation was largely unnecessary, and that the
management of the funding is affected by some
shortcomings. We make a number of recommendations to
the European Commission to help improve its support for
ATM modernisation.
