The designation process should take into account the need for service continuity and long-term investment planning by air traffic service providers. Notwithstanding the above, the fast-evolving context of air navigation requires that monitoring of the rights and obligations of designated air traffic service providers is performed to ensure that those rights and obligations remain fully applicable and that those obligations are fulfilled. Where Member States consider it necessary to launch a new designation process in the context of their monitoring, they should be able to designate the same air traffic service provider, in accordance with national law.
