ARENA Report 05/2010

Mathias Johannessen

This report aims to explain how national interest organizations adapt to changing forms of governance at the European level. This is done through a case study with emphasis on the Norwegian Air Traffic Controllers Association, NATCA, and the EU-level associations in which NATCA participates.

On the one hand, the report try to explain the preferred choice of channel for NATCA when dealing with EU-level issues: Why do they choose the European (or national) path? On the other hand, and more importantly, it raises a more fundamental question: How are the prospects for a common EU-level platform to develop amongst European air traffic controllers associations? The report concludes that the prospects for a viable European platform in a long term perspective is somewhat limited seen from an organizational point of view.
