measures for achievement of national or FAB performance targets in each key performance area as referred to in point 3.2 of Annex II;

(b)

national or FAB performance targets on average arrival ATFM delay per flight:

(i)

comparison with the level and trend of actual performance during the reference period which precedes the reference period covered by the performance plan;

(ii)

at airport level, comparison of performance with similar airports;

(c)

national or FAB performance targets on terminal DUC:

(i)

comparison with the en route determined unit cost trend at local level;

(ii)

comparison with the level and trend of actual performance during the reference period which precedes the reference period covered by the performance plan;

(iii)

at airport level, comparison of performance with similar airports;

(d)

key factors and parameters underpinning the national or FAB performance targets or performance in the key performance area of cost-efficiency:

(i)

baseline values and assumptions underpinning the setting of determined costs for the first year of the reference period, in comparison with the latest available actual costs;

(ii)

traffic forecasts used in the performance plan and, where the forecasts differ from the STATFOR base forecasts, the justifications provided;

(iii)

planned cost of capital with regard to the level and composition of the regulatory assets base, as well as the planned cost of capital pre-tax rate, including the interest rate on debt and the return on equity;

(iv)

determined costs of new and existing investments and justifications provided for major investments;

(v)

determined pension costs and assumptions underlying their calculation;

(vi)

interest rate assumptions for loans financing the provision of air navigation services, including amounts, duration and other relevant information on loans, reconciliation with the weighted average interest on debt used to calculate the cost of capital pre tax rate and the cost of capital comprised in the determined costs;

(vii)

methodology used for the allocation of costs between en route and terminal services and justifications of any change in the methodology compared to the previous reference period.

(e)

values of the traffic risk sharing parameters referred to in Article 27(2) and (3) and, in the event that the national supervisory authority has adapted the values for these parameters in accordance with Article 27(5), justifications provided for those values;

(f)

incentive scheme or schemes, referred to in Article 11;

(g)

performance benefits and synergies enabled by cross-border collaboration initiatives, including cooperation at the level of functional airspace blocks or through industrial alliances;

(h)

in respect to an application of a simplified charging scheme referred to in Article 34, verification that the criteria referred to in Article 34(2) are met.
