European funds were obtained from the financing program for the Trans-
European Transport Network (TEN-T) with the proposal developed by
ENAV in cooperation with the A6 Group, New European Common Service
Provision for PENS and DLS (Data Link Services). The proposal was
accepted last July and obtained a co-financing of about ¤1.2 million.

ENAV also took part in the tender for Establishment of the SESAR
Deployment Framework Partnership, for a total financing of about ¤5.5
million. The proposal presented by the SESAR Deployment Alliance
(SDA) Consortium, of which ENAV is a member, was accepted by the
European Commission in November 2014. The Consortium was appointed
as Deployment Manager, which will allow ENAV to play a key role in
coordinating the implementation of solutions developed by SESAR. From
an economic viewpoint, the co-financings allocated by the European
Commission will facilitate the fulfillment of investment plans that had
already been funded by ENAV, ensuring both their achievement and
the Company’s ability to invest in additional international programs and
projects in order to maintain its internationally acknowledged excellence
in air traffic control services.

With regard to international cooperation, ENAV had important roles of
responsibility in 2014, including the role of Full Member on the Executive
Committee of CANSO Global. In 2014, the A6 Group strengthened
its alliance to ensure coordination of its strategies in the SESAR Joint
Undertaking and the new governance structure for implementation of
the SESAR Deployment Manager, as well as to promote even greater
harmonization in planning to implement future ATM systems. This
initiative led to a significant expansion of areas of common interest and
to the adoption of a governance framework to give the Group a solid and
stable structure.
