(9) Suspension of noise mitigating measures is important to avoid unwanted consequences on aviation safety, airport capacity and competition. Whilst an appeal procedure against noise-related operating restrictions may relate to noise abatement objectives, assessment methods and selection of cost-effective measures, the appeal may not suspend their implementation. Therefore, the Commission should well before implementation of the measures be able to use the right of scrutThe Commission should be able to review whether decisions on noise-related actions have been preceded by a decision- making process that meets the requirements of the Balanced Approach. In order to avoid unwanted consequences on the air transport system, includinyg and to suspend measures deemed to produce unwanted or irreversible consequences. It is recognised that the suspension should be for a limited periodviation safety, capacity and competition, such a review must happen before the implementation of noise-related actions.

(12) Centralisation of information on noise to replace the individual databases maintained at airport level would substantially reduce the administrative burden for aircraft and airport operators alike. Such information is currently provided and managed at the individual airport level. These data need to be put at their disposal for operational purposes. It is important to use the data bank of the European Aviation Safety Agency (the Agency) concerning noise performance certification as a validation tool with the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) data on individual flights. Such data are currently already systematically requested for central flow management purposes, but need to be specified for the purpose of this Regulation and for performance regulation of air traffic management. Good access to validated modelling data should improve the quality of mapping of noise contours of individual airports and strategic mapping to support policy decisions.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) In order to ensure legal certainty and planning reliability, this Regulation should not apply to noise-related actions, including the outcome of mediation processes, which were adopted before the entry into force of this Regulation. Similarly, when new noise-related actions are already being considered at the time the Regulation enters into force, the Regulation should only apply to those parts of the procedure which have not yet started
Amendment 79 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 1 – paragraph 1
Article 1 – paragraph 1
1. This Regulation lays down rules on the introduction of noise-related operating restrictions in a consistent manner on an airport-by-airport basis and where a noise problem has been identified so as to help improve the noise climate and to limit or reduce the number of people significantly affected by the harmful effects of aircraft noise, in accordance with the Balanced Approach.

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 6
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 6
(6) ‘'Operating restrictions’' means a noise- related action that limits the access to or reduces the optimal capacity use of an airport, including operating restrictions aimed at the withdrawal from operations of marginally compliant aircraft at specific airports as well as operating restrictions of a partial nature, affecting thwhich for example apply for an identified time operation of civil aircraft according to time periodiod during the day or only for certain runways at the airport.
