A "balanced approach"[6] means "an approach under which Member States consider all the available measures to address the noise problem at an airport in their territory, namely the foreseeable effect of a reduction of aircraft noise at source, of land-use planning and management, of noise abatement operational procedures and of operating restrictions" (Article 2 g)).

This matter has to be considered from two different angles. The first arises from the circumstantial evidence set out in Chapter 5, which indicates that the system known as 'ECHELON' was designed as a communications interception system to provide the US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and British secret services with information about events abroad by collecting and evaluating communications data. As such, it is a conventional espionage tool used by foreign intelligence services. Initially, therefore, we will examine the compatibility of such an intelligence system with Union law.

The noise level at arrival can be adequately characterised by the certificated noise level at the approach measurement point as defined in the said Annex 16, for the noise level at departure there is a good correlation with the average of the certificated noise level at the sideline and flyover measurement point as defined in the said Annex 16.

This integrated approach to noise management, which is in line with the objectives of the environmental noise Directive 2002/49/EC, will be instrumental in the development of existing Community measures relating to sources of environmental noise.
