Auditors: 'Single European Sky' failed to meet main objectives

"The auditors noted that there was "no substantial defragmentation" of airspace management. As a result, each time a plane enters the airspace of a member state, it is serviced by a different air navigation provider (ANSP) on the basis of different rules and requirements, with extra costs and time.
This, the auditors said, was due to a "lack of commitment on the part of the member states", which want to "preserve sovereignty, the legacy of national air navigation service providers", revenues and workforce."

And so on, and so on.
