Suosituksen perustelu
The rapid deregulation of national regulations and references to EU regulations has lately created a situation, where detailed and practical regulations no longer exist. National instructions have been finished too late considering the adoption of the regulations, resulting in several postponements of their adoption. The time traffic controllers have to familiarise themselves with the instructions has been short. Regulations and instructions already rescinded have also been left in use.
Recommendation
The Finnish Transport Agency (Trafi) must ensure that the instructions directly affecting the work of traffic controllers are kept up to date and that they are not put into use without sufficient orientation of personnel.
