star this property answer text <p>The appropriate military Duty Holder for each aircraft fleet is required to undertake a Risk to Life assessment at quarterly intervals. One of the risks considered is that of mid air collision with non-cooperating aircraft. This includes in uncontrolled airspace away from airfields, airports and the airways system (Class G airspace). Following this assessment, the Duty Holder is required to put in place appropriate controls and mitigating measures to ensure that any potential risk is both tolerable and as low as reasonably practicable.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>In December 2013 the European Council invited the European Defence Agency (EDA) to examine ways in which Member States could cooperate more effectively and efficiently in pooled procurement projects. One initial approach currently being considered by the EDA is to create a common fund to support Member States for specific pooled procurement projects. We are waiting to see more details of the proposals before taking a view; however as the EDA is an intergovernmental body accountable directly to member states it will not entail EU institutions owning defence capabilities.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
