Commission Decision (EU) 2025/519 of 5 March 2025 on the process for the introduction of operating restrictions at Schiphol Airport in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 598/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2025) 1355)

1 On the basis of its review whether the Netherlands has followed the process under Regulation (EU) No 598/2014, the Commission finds that the process has been respected, to the exception of the following elements: (a) the Netherlands excluded general and business aviation from the operating measures while including noise from those operations in the noise situation in breach of Article 5(6) of the Regulation; (b) the Netherlands has only partly considered the foreseeable effects of measures reducing aircraft noise at source through autonomous fleet renewal as required by Article 5(3)(a) of the Regulation; (c) the Netherlands has only partly considered the noise abatement operational procedures as required by Article 5(3)(c) of the Regulation.

2 The Netherlands shall examine this Decision and inform the Commission of its intentions before introducing those operating restrictions at Schiphol Airport.

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
