Investments - Austria

PRB monitoring

▪ Austro Control planned a total RP3 asset value for new investments of 130M€₂₀₁₇, of which 77% for new major investments. Austro Control planned nine new major investments for RP3.

▪ Austro Control planned RP3 new investments represent 3% of the Union-wide total amounts of the assets for new investments. Austro Control planned to invest more in CNS systems compared to the Union-wide median (45% vs 18% respectively), and less for ATM systems (29% vs 47%).

▪ Austro Control underspent -19M€₂₀₁₇ (-12%) in costs related to investments during RP3 (-16M€₂₀₁₇ in en route and -3.5M€₂₀₁₇ in terminal), according to the reporting tables. These amounts shall be reimbursed to the airspace users through a reduction of future unit rate(s), unless the NSA decides after consultation with the users, that the ANSP shall not reimburse a part of the difference according to article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2019/317.

▪ Through RP3, Austria has not provided an annual breakdown of the average net book value, depreciation, or leasing costs for any investment of Austro Control. There is therefore a lack of adequate and detailed information on investments to ensure transparency and compliance with reporting requirements.

▪ Austria should provide all the required information regarding investments in RP4, in the context of the annual monitoring process and the cost-exempt reporting, to enhance transparency for airspace users.

▪ Austria did not report funding from Union assistance programmes in RP3, while SESAR Deployment Manager data indicates payments for 11M€ during the reference period. Austria should review the facts and ensure that all appropriate reimbursements as other revenues are made as soon as practicable.
