• Expressing ALoS values of safety indicators and
  values of safety targets
• SES II requires performance scheme for air
  navigation services and network. It shall
  include
• Community-wide performance targets on the key
  performance areas of safety, environment,
  capacity and cost-efficiency
• national plans or plans for functional airspace
  blocks, including performance targets, ensuring
  consistency with the Community-wide performance
  targets
• periodic review, monitoring and benchmarking of
  performance of air navigation services and
  network functions.
