 +**Eurocontrol** is an international organisation working to achieve safe and seamless air traffic management across Europe.
 +Eurocontrol works with national authorities, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, and other organisations. Its activities involve all gate-to-gate **air navigation service operations**: strategic and tactical flow management, controller training, regional control of airspace, safety-proofed technologies and procedures, and collection of air navigation charges.
 +For more information, please visit [[http://www.eurocontrol.int.|Eurocontrol website]].
  
 +In order to integrate with Eurocontrol, you have to open a section [[leon:integrations|Integrations]], click **ENABLE** button, then switch the Status to **ON** and save changes.

Finally click {{:leon:icons:update.png?nolink&50|}} to save changes. +If the Operator ICAO code in the section Settings > Handling Request tab is the same as registered with Eurocontrol, the integration will be completed upon saving changes. If the ICAO code in Leon doesn't match the one registered with Eurocontrol, you will see an error message saying "Operator ICAO not recognized by Eurocontrol".
