What they argued

Public Procurement Actfiled 26 Jan 2026PDFsource

From the point of view of commercial airports, commercial airports, as operators of critical infrastructure, are at the same time competitive undertakings. EU public procurement law, in its current form, often fails to fulfil this particular role and leads to considerable competition, efficiency and a lack of flexibility.

Evaluation of the Public Procurement Directivesfiled 5 Mar 2025PDFsource

— Sector procurement law for public procurement is intended to allow flexibility due to the heterogeneity of contracting entities. However, the current requirements do not comply with this, as they are too closely aligned with the public procurement law of the contracting authorities. In general, the procurement of energy (i.e. also gas, oil and consumables) should be exempt from public procurement law.

Simplification of certain sustainability reporting standardsfiled 3 Jun 2026source

The German airport sector welcomes the European Commissions proposal to simplify the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) under the Omnibus I package. The reduction of mandatory datapoints, the strengthened role of materiality and the simplification of value-chain reporting are important steps towards a more proportionate and effective sustainability reporting framework.

EU aviation strategyfiled 15 May 2026source

The German Airports Association (ADV) welcomes DG MOVEs initiative for a new European aviation strategy. The strategy should create a binding framework that strengthens the competitiveness, resilience and sustainability of European aviation.

Fitness Check of EU airports legislationfiled 30 May 2024PDFsource

The German Airports Association (ADV) is opposed to a tightening of the European legal framework for airport charges (ACD) and ground handling services (GHD). Extensive regulatory requirements are not appropriate against the background of the current market conditions and competitive environment.

Revision of the Commission Guidelines on State aid in the aviation sector (airports and airlines)filed 27 Sept 2024PDFsource

In the light of current developments in the air transport market, airports need planning certainty beyond 2027. The ADV airport association therefore supports the Commission’s plan to amend the Guidelines on State aid to airports and airlines (Air Transport Guidelines). This concerns both operating aid and investment aid. Our detailed opinion can be found in the attached document.

Update of common rules for the allocation of slots at European Union airportsfiled 24 May 2022PDFsource

Airports welcome the opportunity to provide comments on the European Commission’s planned update of the Slot Regulation to maintain relief measures, as appropriate, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ADV has supported the slot waiver instrument and its application in principle. This ensures basic connectivity, and existing flight plans remain intact during the recovery phase.
