Notes that, while military and civil military expertise is present at different levels within the various stakeholder institutions such as the Single Sky Committee, E~~urocontrol~~UROCONTROL and the SESAR Joint Undertaking, there is still a need for coordinated and comprehensive ~~military~~ analysis of the implications of SES/SESAR for the military; Amendment 6 # Evgeni KIRILOV Draft opinion Paragraph 5 5. Recognises the natural roles of the European Defence Agency (EDA) as a bridge between the defence community and the Commission and as a facilitator between military stakeholders; is in favour of strengthening the EDA's role in building political awareness, networking and assisting with the deployment phase of SESAR; notes that the EDA is well placed to contribute to future SES challenges, for example in the field of equipment and training; welcomes the decision by Member States to involve the EU Military Staff (EUMS) in supporting the EDA in connection with SESAR; welcomes the establishment of the SES/SESAR Military Implementation Forum ~~sponsor~~facilitated by the EDA and encourages its further development, as it has the strong merit of bringing all relevant actors in the defence community to the table; emphasises that cooperation with NATO is indispensable; Amendment 8 # Evgeni KIRILOV Draft opinion Paragraph 6 6. Calls for an urgent and thorough assessment of the impact of the SES legislation on military aviation, which should also take into account the associated financial and operational risks and the cost of delay or non-synchronisation, and notes the EDA's preliminary work in this area; highlights the significant financial burden projected for the military~~, which, at almost 25% of the total2 , represents EUR 7 billion of the EUR 30 billion~~ in investments for SESAR deployment by airspace users, airport operators and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs); urges the Commission to fully involve the EDA in any future ex ante assessments of Union legislation and actions that have a bearing on military capabilities or fall within the defence field; Amendment 11 # Evgeni KIRILOV Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Insists that, despite thes requisite major investments, there are a number of important and tangible benefits stemming from harmonisation, including flight optimisation, fuel efficiency and the flexible and safe use of a less fragmented sky; highlights the efficiency that greater civil-military coordination would achieve, as using joint infrastructure would result in cost-cutting; emphasises that enhanced interoperability between Member States would also produce benefits in terms of cross-border operations; source: PE-488.035
