ICAO has its headquarters in Montreal, Canada, with seven regional offices throughout the world. From its beginning in 1944 it has grown to an organization with over 180 Contracting States. According to the Convention, the Organization is made up of an Assembly, a Council and a Secretariat. The chief officers are the President of the Council and the Secretary General.

The Assembly, composed of representatives from all Contracting States, is the sovereign body of ICAO. It meets every three years to review in detail the work of the Organization, to set policy for the coming years and establish a triennial budget. The Assembly elects the Council, the governing body for a three-year term.

The Council is composed of members from 36 States. It is in the Council that Standards and Recommended Practices are adopted and incorporated as Annexes to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.

The Air Navigation Commission is assisted in its work by the technical personnel of the Air Navigation Bureau, which is a part of the Secretariat. The Secretariat, headed by a Secretary General, is divided into five main divisions: the Air Navigation Bureau, the Air Transport Bureau, the Technical Co-operation Bureau, the Legal Bureau, and the Bureau of Administration and Services.

One of ICAO's chief activities is standardization, the establishment of International Standards, Recommended Practices and Procedures covering the technical fields of aviation: licensing of personnel, rules of the air, aeronautical meteorology, aeronautical charts, units of measurement, operation of aircraft, nationality and registration marks, airworthiness, aeronautical telecommunications, air traffic services, search and rescue, aircraft accident investigation, aerodromes, aeronautical information services, security and the safe transport of dangerous goods. After a Standard is adopted it is put into effect by each ICAO Contracting State in its own territories.

Ukraine joined International Civil Aviation Organization in 1991 and ratified all main legislative and regulatory documents of ICAO.

EUROCONTROL

EUROCONTROL is the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. This is civil and military Organization, which currently has 33 Member States. Its primary objective is the development of a seamless, pan-European Air Traffic Management (ATM) system.

EUROCONTROL develops, coordinates and plans for implementation of short-, medium- and long-term pan-European air traffic management strategies. To reach these goals national authorities involves air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, industry, professional organisations and relevant European institutions.

EUROCONTROL's main activities cover the whole range of gate-to-gate air navigation service operations - from strategic and tactical flow management to controller training; from regional control of airspace to development of leading-edge, safety-proofed technologies and procedures, and the collection of air navigation charges.

IANS

Institute of Air Navigation Services, IANS, was inaugurated in Luxembourg. This was to become an important training centre. It provided advanced air traffic control training for the personnel of EUROCONTROL's Member States. One of the first tasks of the Institute was to train the new generation of controllers who would eventually work in the UAC centre in Maastricht. Over the years, the Institute has developed a sound reputation for providing high level and up-to-date training with an international emphasis.

As ATM specialists are key contributors to the achievement of the high safety level of air navigation in Europe, the EUROCONTROL Institute ensures that staff involved in air traffic management       and control in the ECAC States:

- show a high awareness level of safety requirements;

- are familiar with the common strategies;

- have the same understanding of common concepts;

- use the same terminology.
