The traffic management of unmanned aircraft requires the availability of common information services (CIS). When CIS are provided by a single CIS provider designated by the Member State in respect of a specific U-space airspace, the prices of CIS should be regulated in order to contain the costs of such traffic management. Prices of CIS should therefore be based on cost and a reasonable mark-up for profit, and should be subject to approval by national supervisory authorities. Where CIS are not provided by a single CIS provider, the individual CIS should be provided for free. To enable the provision of the service, access to relevant operational data should be granted to CIS providers on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.
