Katie :
Maastricht is but a pawn in the game, but it will leave Eurocontrol - the question is who will own and control the new entity.
Oh I do not disagree with that, what I was after is the "when ". You said next year.
This means that Eurocontrol as of next year is unlikely to be an ATC provider in the operating sense.
I believe , for the reasons that I said, that it will take far longer than that. But who am I ?
