Algeria: technical assistance action (“pending”) to be cancelled and possibly replaced with a different dedicated action (MEDUSA advice is to envisage a vis-a-vis meeting with the new-appointed decision-makers; EC’s support recommended)


Plans/extension for year 2015 EGNOS:

Support to EC in liaising with countries for EGNOS extension

Algeria

EGNOS use in aviation:

Training in Morocco

Possible activation of a technical assistance action for Libya

Exploitation towards the operational use:

EGNOS operational “evaluation grid" on countries' compliance to the regulatory analysis

Support to EC in the elaboration of the institutional agreement

EGNOS use in non-aviation: strengthening GEMCO (e.g. equipment, regional involvement and promotion)

8th Euromed GNSS WG


Introduction of EGNOS based operations in aviation

“To-dos” to establish the appropriate framework among non-EU State (State, ANSP, CAA), the system owner (EC) and the service provider (ESSP)

A bilateral International/Institutional Agreement between EC and the non-EU State. This Agreement is aimed at clarifying the overall framework/provisions for the use of EGNOS SoL service in the non-EU country (such as the governance, financial and liability terms), and defining the regulatory (mutual recognition) aspects in the aviation domain. The establishment of the bilateral International/Institutional Agreement is managed at EC/non-EU State level, following an official request to EC by the non-EU State. The elaboration/negotiation/signature of this agreement is under the responsibility of EC (and in discussion with the non-EU State)

A Working level Agreement (EGNOS Working Agreement for non-EU countries) between ESSP and the non-EU country’s ANSP, establishing the required coordination and working arrangements including also the delivery of additional services (NOTAM proposals, Data recording, Collaborative Decision Making)

The bilateral International/Institutional Agreement needs to be finalized/subscribed before the EWA is finalized/signed


MEDUSA regulatory baseline analysis (1)

“Regulatory baseline required for EGNOS based operations implementation in aviation in the Euromed countries”:

MEDUSA’s recommendations concerning the "minimum regulatory baseline”, set of minimum requirements needed for non-EU country ANSP to start the discussion with ESSP concerning the EGNOS Working Agreement

Elaborated by MEDUSA’ s experts, upon EC’s requests

Regulatory references based on ICAO provisions

Draft presented/preliminarily discussed in Tunis (June 2014) and circulated among the countries for comments (to NCs and aviation delegates)

Under finalization with EC

Next steps to be defined/agreed

To be done within MEDUSA/year 2015:

Undertaking an assessment for each country in relation to ICAO requirements identified in the MEDUSA Regulatory Analysis

Drafting recommendations for actions as inputs for the countries' strategies in relation to the use of EGNOS in aviation

Bilateral meetings with Euromed countries' delegates for aviation - country's dedicated “restricted” meetings involving two delegates/decision-makers (one from the regulator and one from the ANSP), EC, ESSP and MEDUSA. The meetings are aimed at presenting/discussing the results of the regulatory assessment, the suggested measures and the next steps for the country in order to possibly enter into discussion/negotiation of the international agreement and the EWA

8 meetings (one for each Euromed country, Palestine will be combined with another country, likely Egypt or Jordan)



Methodology, by iteration with the contribution of the countries:

1. ITERATION - agreement on references and applicable inputs

Identification and collection of reference documents/applicable inputs (e.g. from ICAO safety oversight/monitoring)

Gathering suggestions from countries (self assessment)

Gathering documents from countries

2. ITERATION - agreement on the “evaluation grid”

3. ITERATION - sharing of recommendations on measures

2 focal points from each country (one from the aviation authority and one from the ANSP)

Inputs from the Euromed countries in relation to aerodromes with favourable conditions for LPV introduction (inputs from delegates officially nominated to represent the countries for aviation)

Identification of national needs for EGNOS service coverage

Identification of priorities for EGNOS service coverage

Three priority levels, according to the following criteria:

Driven on EGNOS SoL

Required coverage on country’s aerodromes

High-level official commitment in relation to the operational implementation for EGNOS SoL/LPV

Inputs from countries
