Brussels has explained that the first priority is to make of the EU an actor of tip of international the civil aviation guaranteeing fairness conditions at the same time and - second the Commission - with such objective the field of aviation of the EU must be able to take advantage of the new markets expanding, in particular rerunning to new external agreements for aviation with nations and regions key in the world. "This - it has explained the Commission - will not only serve to improve the access at the market, but it will offer also new commercial opportunities to the European enterprises and will clearly assure fair and transparent conditions of market thanks to a normative picture. These agreements will assure also a greater number of connections airplane and mark more contents for the passengers. Total connectivity - it has emphasized the Commission - is flies of the commerce and tourism and contributes directly to the economic increase and the creation of places of work".

An other priority is the removal of constraints on the plan of the ability, the efficiency and connectivity of the aerial transport of the European Union. "The fragmentation of the European aerial space - it has found the Commission - coast at least five billions of euro per year and involves the emission almost 50 million tons in more than co2. The limits of ability to the airports of the EU could cost until 818 000 places of job within 2035. For the EU it is therefore the opportune moment in order to plan the future question of aerial transport and to avoid the congestion. Therefore the strategy restates the importance to complete the project of the European only sky, optimizing the use of our attended airports more and monitoring connectivity intra and extra Union in order to identify of the deficiencies".

Besides this, an effective and efficient normative picture will assure to the industry a greater flexibility in order to allow them to prosper and to remain competitive on the total plan". The Commission has specified that it will look for also the way in order to reduce the burden and the costs legacies to the safety controls thanks to the use of new technologies and an approach based on the risk.

At last, for the EU commission, it is necessary "to complete progresses on the plan of the innovation, the digital technologies and the investments". According to Brussels, "Europe in particular must fully value the potentialities tied to the droni. This is the reason for which the strategy it proposes a legal picture in order to guarantee safety and the legal certainty for the industry and to answer to the worries tied to the privacy and the protection of the data, safety and the atmosphere". Moreover the Commission considers that adapted investments in the technologies and the innovation they will consolidate the role of tip of Europe in international the aerial transport and to such purpose it has remembered that the EU has planned an investment of 430 million euros per year until 2020 in the context of the research project on the management of the air traffic in sky only European (SESAR). "The timely development of solutions SESAR - it has emphasized Brussels - can carry more to the creation than 300 000 new places of work. The application and the optimization of the technologies of the information and the communication cover moreover a particular relief for how much it concerns the ability, the performances and the quality of the service in the airports".

"A competitive and efficient aviation - the vice president of the Commission and responsible for the Union of the energy has asserted, Maros Sefcovic - is essential for the increase of Europe.
