Valletta, 7 September 2023 — The Coordinating Committee, meeting in the margins of the Directors General Special meeting in Malta, agreed on budgetary decisions to enable the 2022 surplus to be transferred to the Special Reserve Fund to allow for future initiatives to be decided by Directors General, and increased the size of the Working Capital Fund.
Two initiatives to improve the effectiveness of ECAC groups were agreed: a new training for chairs and moderators of ECAC groups to be drafted by the Secretariat, and standardisation of the terms of reference and rules of procedure of all ECAC groups. Planning for future meetings including the ECAC/EU Dialogue with the air transport industry (24-25 October 2023), the ECAC triennial session (3-4 July 2024) and future Special Directors General meetings was progressed.
