SECTION 6

GUIDELINES FOR DELEGATION OF THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROVISION OF ATS

6.1  INTRODUCTION
6.1.1 Definition
6.1.1.1  As regards to the terminology describing the situation of one State delegating to another State the responsibility for the provision of ATS in a portion of the airspace above its territory, two different expressions seem to be currently used.
6.1.1.2  In several bilateral agreements and corresponding documents the notion “delegation of airspace” is used. This notion would seem to imply that a State would transfer all responsibilities associated to the provision of ATS, including the regulatory competence, to another State which is in effect not the case.
6.1.1.3  So, a clear distinction should be made between "Delegation of Airspace" and "Delegation of the responsibility for the provision of Air Traffic Services":
.  "Delegation of Airspace" will refer to the delegation of jurisdiction in a portion of the airspace over a territory from one State to another State with the transfer of all responsibilities associated to the provision of ATS, including the regulatory competence which may necessitate changes to FIR boundaries and/or imply derogation of national sovereignty.
.  "Delegation of the responsibility for the provision of Air Traffic Services" will refer only to the delegation of the responsibility for the provision of ATS in a portion of the airspace over a territory from one State to another State.
6.1.2 Scope
6.1.2.1  The Delegation of Airspace is a very rare event requiring the approval of Governments concerned and ICAO, as it may involve changes to FIR boundaries. As ECAC States do not anticipate any such delegation in the foreseeable future, the Guidance Material in this Section 6 refers only to the Delegation of the responsibility for the provision of Air Traffic Services.
6.1.3 Process
6.1.3.1  The present Guidance Material is recommended to be used in conjunction with the Common Format, Cross-Border, Inter-Centre Letter of Agreement, Edition 3.0, REF: ASM.ET1.ST015, EUROCONTROL (hereinafter referred to as the Common Format LoA) for the purpose of describing the basic principles and operational aspects regarding the situation where one State delegates to another State the responsibility for the provision of ATS in a portion of the airspace above the territory of the former State.
