Printed in Belgium PRINTED ON ELEMENTAL CHLORINE-FREE BLEACHED PAPER (ECF) Foreword Since its first publication in 1993, as the Vade-mecum for editors, the Interinstitutional style guide has become an indispensable tool for authors of texts from the different institutions and bodies of the European Union, in all the official languages. This standardisation of linguistic practices is particularly remarkable, since all the conventions and common working practices contained in this work have been elaborated by our specialists while according the greatest respect to each language’s particularities. Equally accessible on the Internet, the Interinstitutional style guide allows for interactive dialogue between different actors, be they authors, editors, lawyer-linguists, terminologists, translators or proofreaders. The contribution that they can make to improve and update this work is now most welcome. I count on everyone’s commitment in assuring the application of the norms established in this way. This will allow us, among other things, to continue to exploit the potentials of computer tools, in order to serve better the European citizen, the main recipient of the texts produced by our institutions and bodies. Pierre de BOISSIEU Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Publications Office NB: The text of this foreword was originally published in French. 1 Preface One of the European Union’s priorities and vital tasks is to disseminate information in all languages. People are not generally aware of the scale and complexity of this task, and the ever-increasing amount and multilingual character of the documentation to be distributed, and it is only through continual development of the techniques used and constant rationalisation that the task can be accomplished each day. The Interinstitutional style guide has been produced with these things in mind. This publication, continuing a process begun in 1993 with the Vade-mecum for editors, is the fruit of a long round of negotiations in which all the European Union institutions participate actively. Bringing about a process of linguistic standardisation with such a large number of languages appeared unachievable. Nevertheless, the outcome of this exceptional work is proving successful, since the 23 linguistic versions are available on the Office’s style guide website (http://publications.europa.eu/code/). Twenty-three language communities have established a common working environment in order to present a consistent identity of the European Union institutions to citizens. This publication demonstrates that multilingualism need not be a source of disparity as it provides a common point of reference for the different language groups, as well as the institutions, bodies and agencies, which have multiplied over recent years. It draws together linguistic resources, turning apparent disparity into a source of unity between all those involved in producing texts for the European Union. The conclusions of the Interinstitutional Style Guide Committee should be implemented in all the institutions and the Publications Office should oversee this. Respecting the conventions set out in the style guide guarantees the image of a Europe dedicated to serving its citizens: providing a service in each of their languages while overseeing the harmony and unity of the message. Martine REICHERTS Director-General, Publications Office NB: The text of this preface was originally published in French. 3 References Legal basis Decision 69/13/Euratom, ECSC, EEC of 16 January 1969 establishing the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities (OJ L 13, 18.1.1969), repealed and last replaced by Decision 2009/496/EC, Euratom of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 26 June 2009 on the organisation and operation of the Publications Office of the European Union (OJ L 168, 30.6.2009, p. 41): ‘Article 1 The task of the Publications Office of the European Union, which is an interinstitutional office, shall be to publish the publications of the institutions of the European Communities and the European Union under optimum conditions.’ * The Consultative Committee on Publications of the Commission has defined a publication as ‘a duplicated text, intended mainly for external use, the production of which constitutes a budgetary expense’. The Publications Office is required, among other tasks: (i) to standardise formats; (ii) to harmonise the presentation of publications. NB: According the the abovementioned decision, the name ‘Office for Official Publications of the European Communities’ has been changed to ‘Publications Office of the European Union’, with effect from 1 July 2009. Mandate The style guide is governed by the following entities: — the Interinstitutional Committee, designated by the Board, comprising general representatives from the following institutions: European Parliament, Council of the European Union, European Commission, Court of Justice of the European Union, European Court of Auditors, European Economic and Social Committee, Committee of the Regions of the European Union, European Central Bank; — the general coordination section for the style guide, based at the Publications Office; — the interinstitutional linguistic groups (one per language), whose representatives are appointed by members of the Interinstitutional Committee. The role of the Interinstitutional Committee is, primarily, to appoint official representatives to participate directly in the work of the linguistic groups. The committee can act as an arbitrator in the case of a major problem. The general coordination section is responsible for the overall management procedure: organising the work, ensuring the coherence of decisions taken in the different groups, updating and developing the process. This section is also responsible for overall management of the style guide website and participates directly in its development. 5 References The linguistic groups are responsible for the development and follow-up of their respective language versions, with guidance from the general coordination section. The Publications Office representatives in the groups coordinate the work and relay information back to the general coordination section. The groups comprise representatives from the various linguistic entities of the institutions: lawyer-linguists, translators, terminologists, proofreaders, etc. Furthermore, various decision-making bodies, notably, in the Commission, the Secretariat- General, the protocol service and the services in charge of external relations, are consulted regularly according to the subject being dealt with. Close contact is also maintained with various international organisations, particularly with regard to standardisation (ISO). 6 Contents Foreword 1 Preface 3 References (legal basis and mandate) 5 Introduction 11 Part One — Official Journal 13 Preamble 15 1.Structure of the Official Journal 21 1.1.

So it is no surprise that collaboration is essential in everything we do. It’s never boring, frequently surprising and often a challenge. However, it can be very rewarding to build the relationships required and then to see them result in practical steps to improve the performance of European aviation, something that is vital as traffic is now clearly growing again. We have seen record numbers this year, with nearly 36 thousand flights on a single day. Over the whole year, we expect to handle around 10.6 million flights. In practice, this collaboration means maintaining effective working relationships with every Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) across Europe. We look at their performance, at their plans and at the forecast traffic levels; then we discuss how issues can be resolved, before they cause problems. Sometimes that means spending a lot of time with a particular country to see how to overcome a particular challenge.

    SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT founding members SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT / 02 / Air Traffic Management goes green. SESAR seeks to reduce the environmental impact per flight by 10%. SESAR AND THE ENVIRONMENT / 03 / Statement from the Executive Director SESAR’s mission is to build the future air traffic management system, able to cope with an expected doubling of flights in Europe by 2020. This new system does not only have to cater for safety, efficiency and capacity of air transport, but it also needs to allow for a sustainable growth. The future of air traffic management needs to be green. It is the societal responsibility of the aviation industry to make sure that we can diminish the environmental impact of air transport which currently accounts for about three per cent of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. One of the priorities of SESAR is to enable the reduction of the environmental impact per flight by ten per cent. We have already demonstrated that by using existing technologies more efficiently and by introducing greener procedures, emission reductions of up to two per cent can be achieved. Patrick Ky Executive Director of the SESAR Joint Undertaking Single European Sky Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) The Single European Sky (SES) is an ambitious initiative launched SESAR is the operational and technological dimension of the by the European Commission in 2004 to reform the architecture Single European Sky initiative.
