The safe and efficient use of airspace can only be achieved through close cooperation between civil and military airspace users, which in practice is mainly based on the concept of flexible use of airspace and effective civil-military coordination as established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). With a view to ensuring the uniform application of this concept, the Commission should be empowered to adopt implementing acts, within the limits of the common transport policy and without prejudice to Member States’ responsibilities for their airspace.
