Article 1 
This Decision applies to the third reference period referred to in Article 7 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317.
Article 2 
Union-wide performance targets in the key performance area of safety, as referred to in point 1.1 of Section 1 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, to be achieved by the end of 2024 by air navigation service providers certified to provide services are set at the following levels of effectiveness of safety management:

((a)) at least Level C in the safety management objectives ‘safety culture’, ‘safety policy and objectives’, ‘safety assurance’, and ‘safety promotion’;
((b)) at least Level D in the safety management objective ‘safety risk management’.
Article 3 
Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of environment, as defined in point 2.1 of Section 1 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, shall be expressed as an average horizontal en route flight efficiency of the actual trajectory and measured as average additional distance flown compared to the great circle distance and shall not exceed the following percentages: 2,53 % in 2020, 2,47 % in 2021, 2,40 % in 2022, 2,40 % in 2023 and 2,40 % in 2024.
Article 4 
Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of capacity, in accordance with point 3.1 of Section 1 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, shall be an average en route ATFM delay attributable to air navigation services of a maximum of 0,9 minute per flight in 2020, 0,9 minute per flight in 2021, 0,7 minute per flight in 2022, 0,5 minute per flight in 2023 and 0,5 minute per flight in 2024.
Article 5 

1. Union-wide performance targets for the key performance area of cost-efficiency, as defined in point 4.1 of Section 1 of Annex I to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, shall be a year-on-year change of the average Union-wide determined unit cost for en route air navigation services of – 1,9 % for 2020, – 1,9 % for 2021, – 1,9 % for 2022, – 1,9 % for 2023 and – 1,9 % for 2024. The year-on-year change shall be calculated starting from the baseline value for the determined unit cost set in paragraph 3.
2. The baseline value for determined costs shall be set at:
(a) EUR 6 245 065 000 in EUR2017 in the case where Union law ceases to apply to the United Kingdom at a date prior to the date of entry into force of this Implementing Decision and no withdrawal agreement concluded with the United Kingdom has entered into force by that date;
(b) EUR 7 047 092 000 in EUR2017 in all other cases.
3. The baseline value for the determined unit cost shall be set at:
(a) EUR 49,29 in EUR2017 in the case where Union law ceases to apply to the United Kingdom at a date prior to the date of entry into force of this Implementing Decision and no withdrawal agreement concluded with the United Kingdom has entered into force by that date.
(b) EUR 50,65 in EUR2017 in all other cases.
Article 6 

1. Member States may request a revision of one or more performance targets contained in the performance plans, in accordance with point (a)(i) of Article 18(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, where:
(a) the actual traffic, recorded by Eurocontrol, deviates from the traffic forecast in the performance plan adopted in accordance with Article 16 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 over a given calendar year by at least 10 % of IFR movements;
(b) the actual traffic, recorded by Eurocontrol, deviates from the traffic forecast in the performance plan adopted in accordance with Article 16 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317 over a given calendar year by at least 10 % of service units.
2. Member States may request a revision of one or more performance targets contained in the performance plans, in accordance with point (a)(i) of Article 18(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/317, where the variation of the reference values as a result of the seasonal updates of the NOP pursuant to point (a) of Article 9(4) and Article 9(8) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/123 in comparison to the reference values from the latest version of the NOP available at the time of drawing up the performance plan is at least:
(a) 0,05 minute of en route ATFM delay if the reference value from the latest version of the NOP available at the time of drawing up the performance plan is less than 0,2 minute of en route ATFM delay; or
(b) 0,04 minute of en route ATFM delay increased by 5 % of the reference value from the latest version of the NOP available at the time of drawing up the performance plan if the reference value is greater than or equal to 0,2 minute of en route ATFM delay.
Article 7 
The comparator groups of air navigation service providers with a similar operational and economic environment for the purpose of assessing performance targets in the key performance area of cost-efficiency shall be set as follows:

((a)) in the case where Union law ceases to apply to the United Kingdom at a date prior to the date of entry into force of this Implementing Decision and no withdrawal agreement concluded with the United Kingdom has entered into force by that date:

((i)) Group A: the air navigation service providers of Germany, France, Spain and Italy;
((ii)) Group B: the air navigation service providers of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Ireland;
((iii)) Group C: the air navigation service providers of Czechia, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Portugal;
((iv)) Group D: the air navigation service providers of Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Greece;
((v)) Group E: the air navigation service providers of Austria, Switzerland, Belgium-Luxembourg and the Netherlands;
((b)) in all other cases:

((i)) Group A: the air navigation service providers of Germany, United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy;
((ii)) Group B: the air navigation service providers of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Ireland;
((iii)) Group C: the air navigation service providers of Czechia, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Portugal;
((iv)) Group D: the air navigation service providers of Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Greece;
