Notification by France of the application of Article 19(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 concerning the planned modification of traffic distribution rules for the airports Paris Orly, Paris Charles-de-Gaulle, and Paris Le Bourget

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2015/C 400/04)

Pursuant to Article 19(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council of 24 September 2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community (1), the Commission received on 28 September 2015 a notification from France of a proposal to modify the Decree of 15 November 1994 on the distribution of intra-Community air traffic within the Paris airport system.

The proposed modifications mainly extend the application of the traffic distribution rules to extra-Community services.

The proposed modifications also remove the existing rules whereby each air carrier is only allowed to operate a maximum of four return services between Orly and another Community destination per day, with the exception of services operated at a specified time of the day and with an aircraft with a capacity above a specified minimum capacity threshold.

In other respects the existing rules on air traffic distribution will remain in force, namely:

Orly and Charles-de-Gaulle will continue to receive the following categories of services:

| 1. | Scheduled air services. |
