The project to establish a coordination centre for national systems of compulsory civil aviation incident reports has now entered its fifth and sixth phases (ECCAIRS 5 and 6) and the European Commission, DG VII, is seeking assistance to implement these two phases.

The purpose of the fifth phase is to bring the existing ECCAIRS system to a consolidated operational level by extending the following functions across ten EU Member States:

- The collection and integration of data;
- Maintaining the system;
- Optimising performance;
- Converting the ADREP87 format to ADREP2000;
- Establishing a data analysis work group;
- Carrying out feasibility studies for future development.

The sixth phase will further expand and improve the system by extending over fifteen Member States the following aspects: the collection and integration of data, the maintenance of the system, the operational introduction of ADREP 2000 and the setting up of a connection with ICAO.
