Recital 21
(21) The entry of unmanned aircraft operations must lead to a safe and shared use of the European airspace amongst unmanned and traditional operations. The traffic management of unmanned aircraft in an integrated manner requires the availability of common information services in order to create a common understanding of airspace activity in a given piece of airspace. In order to contain the costs of such traffic management, prices for common information services should be based on cost and a reasonable mark-up for profit, and should be subject to approval by national supervisory authorities. To enable the provision of the service, the required data should be made available by air navigation service providers.

Recital 29
(29) Mechanisms for modulation of charges to improve environmental performance and service quality, notably through increased use of sustainable alternative fuels, alternative clean propulsion technologies, more direct- routing, increased capacity and reduced delays, while maintaining an optimum safety level, should be set up at Union-wide level given the cross-border nature of aviation. National supervisory authorities should also have the possibility to establish mechanisms at local level regarding terminal services.

(33) In the cooperative decision making process for the decisions to be taken by the Network Manager, the interest of the network should prevail, except in cases where national security demands otherwise. Parties to the cooperative decision-making process should therefore act to the maximum extent possible with a view to improving the functioning and performance of the network. The procedures for the cooperative decision- making process should promote the interest of the network, and be such that issues are resolved and consensus found wherever possible.

(39) The concept of common projects should aim at implementing, in a timely, coordinated and synchronised manner, the essential operational changes identified in the European ATM Master Plan which have a network-wide impact. In particular the common projects should promote and accelerate the update of new digital technologies that are critical to the future scalability, resilience and sustainability of the ATM system in Europe. The Commission should be charged with carrying out a cost-benefit analysis in respect of the funding with a view to speedying up the deployment of the SESAR project.
