Proposal for a

COUNCIL DECISION

on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and the West African Economic and Monetary Union on certain aspects of air services

(presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. Context of the proposal |

110 | Grounds for and objectives of the proposal Following the judgements of the Court of Justice in the so-called 'Open Skies' cases, on 5 June 2003 the Council granted the Commission a mandate to open negotiations with third countries on the replacement of certain provisions in existing agreements with a Community agreement[1] (the 'horizontal mandate'). The objectives of such agreements are to give all Community air carriers non-discriminatory access to routes between the Community and third countries, and to bring bilateral air service agreements between Member States and third countries in line with Community law. |

120 | General context International aviation relations between Member States and third countries have traditionally been governed by bilateral air services agreements between Member States and third countries, the Annexes to such agreements and other related bilateral or multilateral arrangements. Traditional designation clauses in Member States’ bilateral air services agreements infringe Community law. They allow a third country to reject, withdraw or suspend the permissions or authorisations of an air carrier that has been designated by a Member State but that is not substantially owned and effectively controlled by that Member State or its nationals. This has been found to constitute discrimination against Community carriers established in the territory of a Member State but owned and controlled by nationals of other Member States. This is contrary to Article 43 of the Treaty which guarantees nationals of Member States who have exercised their freedom of establishment the same treatment in the host Member State as that accorded to nationals of that Member State. There are further issues, such as aviation fuel taxation, tariffs introduced by third country air carriers on intra-Community routes, or obligatory commercial agreements between airlines where compliance with Community law should be ensured through amending or complementing existing provisions in bilateral air services agreements between Member States and third countries. |

130 | Existing provisions in the area of the proposal The provisions of the Agreement supersede or complement the existing provisions in the 47 bilateral air services agreements concluded between Member States and the Member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union. |

140 | Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union The Agreement will serve a fundamental objective of the Community external aviation policy by bringing existing bilateral air services agreements in line with Community law. |

2. Consultation of interested parties and impact assessment |

Consultation of interested parties |

211 | Consultation methods used, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents Member States as well as the industry were consulted throughout the negotiations. |

212 | Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account Comments made by Member States and the industry have been taken into account. |

3. Legal elements of the proposal |

305 | Summary of the proposed measures In accordance with the mechanisms and directives in the Annex to the 'horizontal mandate', the Commission has negotiated an Agreement with the West African Economic and Monetary Union that replaces certain provisions in the existing bilateral air services agreements between Member States and the Member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union. Article 2 of the Agreement replaces the traditional designation clauses with a Community designation clause, permitting all Community carriers to benefit from the right of establishment. Articles 5 and 6 of the Agreement address two types of clauses concerning matters of Community competence. Article 5 deals with the taxation of aviation fuel, a matter which has been harmonised by Council Directive 2003/96/EC restructuring the Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity, and in particular Article 14(2) thereof. Article 6 (Pricing) resolves conflicts between the existing bilateral air services agreements and Council Regulation No 2409/92 on fares and rates for air services which prohibits third country carriers from being price leaders on air services for carriage wholly within the Community. Article 7 brings provisions in bilateral agreements which are clearly anti-competitive (obligatory commercial agreements between airlines) in line with EU competition law. |

310 | Legal basis EC Treaty Art. 80(2), 300(2) |

329 | Subsidiarity principle The proposal is entirely based on the 'horizontal mandate' granted by the Council taking into account the issues covered by Community law and bilateral air services agreements. |

Proportionality principle The Agreement will amend or complement provisions in bilateral air services agreements only to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with Community law. |

Choice of instruments |

342 | The Agreement concluded between the Community and the West African Economic and Monetary Union is the most efficient instrument to bring all existing bilateral air services agreements between Member States and Member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union into line with Community law. |

4. Budgetary implication |

409 | No implications for the Community budget. |

5. Additional information |

510 | Simplification |

511 | The proposal provides for simplification of legislation. |

512 | The relevant provisions of bilateral air services agreements between Member States and the Member States of the West African Economic and Monetary Union will be superseded or complemented by provisions in one single Community agreement. |

570 | Detailed explanation of the proposal In accordance with the standard procedure for the signature and conclusion of international agreements, the Council is asked to approve the decisions on the signature and provisional application and on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Community and the West African Economic and Monetary Union on certain aspects of air services and to designate the persons authorised to sign the Agreement on behalf of the Community. |

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

of the one part, and

THE WEST AFRICAN ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNIONof the other part

(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Parties’)

NOTING that bilateral air service agreements have been concluded between [several] Member States of the European Community and of the West African Economic and Monetary Union respectively which contain provisions contrary to Community law, as noted in the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Communities in November 2002,

NOTING that the European Community has exclusive competence with respect to several aspects that may be included in bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the European Community and third countries,

NOTING that under European Community law and WAEMU law Community air carriers established in a Member State have the right to non-discriminatory access to air routes between the Member States of the European Community and third countries,

HAVING REGARD to the agreements between the European Community and certain third countries providing for the possibility for the nationals of such third countries to acquire ownership in air carriers licensed in accordance with European Community law,

RECOGNISING that certain provisions governing designation contained in the bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the European Community and of the West African Economic and Monetary Union respectively, which are contrary to Community law, must be brought into line with it in order to establish a sound legal basis for air services between the European Community and the West African Economic and Monetary Union and to preserve the continuity of such services,

NOTING that under European Community law and WAEMU law air carriers may not, in principle, conclude agreements which may affect trade between Member States of the European Community and WAEMU respectively, which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition,

RECOGNISING that provisions contained in bilateral air service agreements concluded between Member States of the European Community and of the West African Economic and Monetary Union respectively, which

i) require or favour the adoption of agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings or concerted practices that prevent, distort or restrict competition between air carriers on the relevant routes; or
