These Regulations implement Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1070/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 amending Regulations (EC) No 549/2004, (EC) No 550/2004, (EC) No 551/2004 and (EC) No 552/2004 in order to improve the performance and sustainability of the European aviation system (OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 34).
Article 2(4) amends Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 550/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 March 2004 on the provision of air navigation services in the Single European Sky (OJ L 96, 31.3.2004, p.10).
Article 8(2) (as amended) prohibits (among other things) any requirement in the legal system of a Member State for an air traffic service provider who provides services in that Member State to have its registered office there.
Section 5(4) of the Transport Act 2000 provides that a licence to provide air traffic services is not valid unless it is granted to a company that has been incorporated under the companies legislation of the United Kingdom, which would necessitate having a registered office in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, these Regulations amend section 5(4) to remove the reference to domestic legislation.
