2. Without prejudice to the role of the Committee, the Commission may designate Eurocontrol or another competent public entity to act as a 'performance review body'. The role of the performance review body shall be to assist the Commission in the implementation of the performance scheme referred to in paragraph 1. The Commission shall ensure that the performance review body acts independently when carrying out the tasks entrusted to it by the Commission, that the different conditions under which the individual aviation safety organisations perform are adequately taken into account and that staff with the relevant expertise are appointed to the review body. This concerns particularly the possession of adequate expertise concerning operational procedures. However, final decision-taking and monitoring powers shall always remain with the national supervisory authorities or the Commission.

'1. Member States shall ensure the provision of air traffic services on an exclusive basis within specific airspace blocks in respect of the airspace under their responsibility. For this purpose, Member States shall designate an air traffic service provider holding a valid certificate in the Community. A Member State shall not refuse to designate an air traffic service provider on the grounds that its national legal system requires that air traffic service providers providing services in airspace under the responsibility of that Member State: (a) be owned directly or through a majority holding by that Member State or its nationals, or (b) have their principal place of operation or registered office in the territory of that Member State, or (c) use only facilities in that Member State.'

Article 6 – paragraph 2 – subparagraph 2
The Commission may, under its own control and responsibility, entrust to Eurocontrolbearing in mind the most appropriate performance objectively and geographically, in accordance with the subsidiarity principle, entrust to a reformed Eurocontrol or another organisation, for instance an industrial consortium, tasks relating to the execution of the above functions, which do not involve the adoption of binding measures of a general scope or the exercise of political discretion. These tasks shall be executed in an impartial and cost-effective manner; taking into consideration the needs of the whole ATM network and with the full involvement of the airspace users and air navigation service providers. In constructing the network management function, the Commission shall ensure the principle of a division between regulation and operational tasks. To this end a precise differentiation and classification of each individual function at each level (European Union, regional/functional airspace blocks, national) and the attendant responsibilities shall be carried out. Functions with a European dimension classified as 'operational’ shall always be performed under the guidance of the industrial partners, while the latter shall be consulted in the case of 'regulatory' functions.
