2. Rationale for an ATSEP License
safety concern
symmetry between air and ground
continuing growth of decision making tools for ATCO
direct support and decision making data to the airframe and the pilot
continuing automation of ATCO functions
modern management principles {delegation of responsibility}
defines personal responsibilities and assure associated competencies
assures harmonised safety standards
facilitates and rationalises procedures and auditing requirements

4. Why at this point in time
exponential traffic growth
privatisation of ANS enterprises (prerequisite)
financial liabilities
fair competition between ATS providers {CANSO benchmarking}
harmonisation of the European Airspace
the users count on minimum standards
ECAC transport ministers decision {MATSE 5}
window-of-opportunity for a common licensing scheme
safety management an EuC EATCHIP/EATMP initiative

5. Why the norm ISO 9000 alone would not do
quality management not equal safety management {EuC EATMP}
a quality norm could complement a license
the norm does not explicitly address the collaborator
the norm does not cover decision making
skills and personal responsibility are not comprised in the norm
the norm describes a management system
the norm certifies processes and organisations {e.g. licensing scheme}
