this indicator is expressed as a percentage, reflecting the year-on-year variation of the average Union-wide DUC for en route air navigation services, starting from the baseline value referred to in point (a) of Article 9(4);

(b)

this indicator is calculated for the whole calendar year and for each year of the reference period;

(c)

the average Union-wide DUC for en route air navigation services is the ratio between the en route determined costs and the en route forecast traffic, expressed in en-route service units, expected during each year of the reference period at Union level, as contained in the Commission's assumptions for establishing the Union-wide performance targets in accordance with Article 9(3);

(d)

the average Union-wide DUC for en route air navigation services is calculated in euro and in real terms.
