DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES BY SEGMENT

On 2 April, Aéroports de Paris published the public consultation document on the Economic Regulation Agreement for the 2021-2025 period, available at www.aeroportsdeparis.fr, which presents the detailed proposal for the 2021-2025 ERA. Based on an assumption of an average increase of 2.6% in passenger traffic per year, Aéroports de Paris’ proposal for the 2021-2025 ERA focuses on: ◆ an ambitious provisional investment programme for the regulated scope 1 of around €6 billion, meeting short and medium term needs, with a priority given to accessibility and efficient traffic flow, and also long-term needs with the launch of work on the future Terminal 4 at Paris–Charles de Gaulle; ◆ traffic growth in all areas and, in particular, international, reflecting the attractiveness of the Paris platforms in terms of infrastructures, quality of service and tariff positioning; ◆ reinforced competitiveness thanks to a policy of controlling current expenses 2 in the regulated scope (growth limited to +2.4%, including inflation, on average per year, despite the numerous infrastructure deliveries), ensuring a moderate pricing strategy with a proposed annual tariff change limited to the CPI 3 +1.35%; and ◆ an objective of convergence for the return on capital employed for the regulated scope to the level of the WACC 4 assessed at the limits of the regulation agreement (estimated at 5.6%) on average over the duration of the agreement. In order to continue the discussions with air carriers on this Regulation Agreement proposal, Groupe ADP wanted to extend the consultation phase by organising several Cocoéco sessions during April, May and June 2019. Other meetings led by IATA are also planned. In accordance with the regulatory procedure, with the publication of the public consultation document, Aéroports de Paris has now entered into a period of public consultation concerning its proposal for the 2021-2025 Economic Regulation Agreement.

Following this consultation, the Minister responsible for civil aviation will take the matter to the Airport Consultative Commission ( Commission Consultative Aéroportuaire ), which then has two months to provide a motivated opinion. This opinion is made public. The Minister responsible for civil aviation then brings the matter before the Independent Supervisory Authority for Airport Fees (ASI), which gives its assent to the draft Economic Regulation Agreement. The ASI has two months to provide its opinion and this time period may be extended for an additional two months in exceptional and duly motivated circumstances.
