Recital 12
(12) It is appropriate that designated air traffic service providers contribute to the setting uprunning of the operation of the Agency acting as PRB and its continuous functioning. Designated air traffic service providers hold natural monopolies in respect of the services concerned, and those services are remunerated by airspace users. Because of this specific feature, it is necessary that the performance and charging schemes be applied to them, so as to optimise the provision of the services concerned on a number of points. The principal role of the Agency acting as PRB consists in the application of those schemes, and the funds necessary for its setting up can therefore be considered as necessary for reasons linked to the peculiar features and the peculiar position of the providers of the services concerned.
