Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Fair competition between air carriers should preferably be addressed in the context of air transport or air services agreements with third countries. However, most air transport or air services agreements concluded between the Union or its Member States or both, on the one hand, and third countries, on the other, do not so far provide for corresponding rules. Efforts should therefore be strengthened to negotiate the inclusion of fair competition clauses in existing and future air transport or air services agreements with third countries. Where bilateral air transport agreements include fair competition clauses or similar provisions, dispute settlement procedures foreseen in those agreements should be exhausted before applying this Regulation, except in cases where more than one Member State is affected;

Member States should therefore be obliged to keep the Commission informed accordingly.
