Article 12 — Provision of common information services

1. Where CIS are provided, the data disseminated shall present the integrity and quality necessary to enable the safe and secure provision of services for the management of traffic of unmanned aircraft in a way that enables the shared use of the airspace together with manned aircraft. 2. The CIS provider shall fulfil the following cumulative requirements: (a) comply with the national security and defence requirements; (b) have its principal place of business located in the territory of a Member State; and (c) be more than 50 % owned by Member States or nationals of Member States and effectively controlled by them, whether directly or indirectly through one or more intermediate undertakings, except where otherwise provided for in an agreement with a third country to which the Union is a party. 3. Where CIS are provided by a single CIS provider designated by the Member State in respect of a specific U-space airspace, the price for these services shall be based on the fixed and variable costs of providing the service concerned and may, in addition, include a mark-up reflecting an appropriate risk-return trade-off. Where CIS are not provided by a single CIS provider, the individual CIS shall be provided for free. 4. The costs on the basis of which the price for CIS is set shall be set out in an account separate from the accounts for any other activities of the service provider concerned and shall be accessible by the national supervisory authority concerned. Those costs shall be made publicly available without prejudice to Article 52(3). 5. The price set by the CIS provider shall be subject to assessment and approval by the national supervisory authority concerned. The price of such services shall be made publicly available. 6. Data necessary for the operation of unmanned aircraft in the U-Space airspace shall be made available on a non-discriminatory basis, without prejudice to national security, public order and defence policy interests, by air navigation service providers. CIS providers and U-Space service providers shall use those data only for operational purposes of the services they provide. Prices for access to such data shall be based on the additional costs of making the data available and the cost for generating the data, where the latter costs are not covered under Article 30 and unless other financial resources are used by Member States to cover such costs.
