PURPOSE: the signature\n and provisional application of the Agreement between the European Community\n and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on certain aspects of air services.
PROPOSED ACT:\n Council Decision.
CONTENT:\n following the judgements of the Court of Justice in the so-called “Open\n Skies” cases, on 5 June 2003 the Council granted the Commission a mandate to\n open negotiations with third countries on the replacement of certain\n provisions in existing agreements with a Community agreement (the “horizontal\n mandate”). The objectives of such agreements are to give all EU air carriers\n non-discriminatory access to routes between the Community and third\n countries, and to bring bilateral air service agreements between Member States and third countries in line with Community law.
In accordance\n with the mechanisms and directives in the Annex to the ”horizontal mandate”,\n the Commission has negotiated an agreement with Jordan that replaces certain\n provisions in the existing bilateral air services agreements between Member\n States and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Article 2 of the Agreement\n replaces the traditional designation clauses with a Community designation\n clause, permitting all Community carriers to benefit from the right of\n establishment. Articles 4 and 5 of the Agreement address two types of clauses\n concerning matters of Community competence. Article 4 deals with the taxation\n of aviation fuel, a matter which has been harmonised by Council Directive\n 2003/96/EC restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products\n and electricity, and in particular Article 14 (2) thereof. Article 5,\n concerning pricing, resolves conflicts between the existing bilateral air\n services agreements and Council Regulation No 2409/92 on fares and rates for\n air services which prohibits third country carriers from being price leaders\n on air services for carriage wholly within the Community. Article 6 resolves\n potential conflicts with the EC competition rules.
The relevant\n provisions of bilateral air services agreements between Member States and Jordan will be superseded or complemented by provisions in one single Community\n agreement.
The Council is\n asked to approve the decisions on the signature and on the conclusion of the\n Agreement between the European Community and Jordan on certain aspects of air\n services and to designate the persons authorised to sign the Agreement on\n behalf of the Community.
\nThe Committee\n on Transport and Tourism adopted a report drafted by Paolo COSTA\n (ALDE, IT) and approved the conclusion of the agreement between the EC and\n Jordan on certain aspects of air services.
\nThe European\n Parliament adopted a report drafted by Paolo COSTA\n (ALDE, IT) and approved the conclusion of the agreement between the EC and\n Jordan on certain aspects of air services.
\nPURPOSE: to\n conclude the Agreement between the European Union and Jordan on certain\n aspects of air services.
