AGREEMENT

between the European Community and the United Arab Emirates on certain aspects of air services

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

of the one part, and

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

of the other part

(hereinafter referred to as the Contracting Parties)

NOTING that the European Court of Justice has found that certain provisions of bilateral agreements entered into by several Member States with third countries are incompatible with European Community law,

NOTING that a number of bilateral air services agreements have been concluded between several Member States of the European Community and the United Arab Emirates containing similar provisions and that there is an obligation on Member States to take all appropriate steps to eliminate incompatibilities between such agreements and the Treaty establishing the European Community,

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

NOTING that under European Community law Community air carriers established in a Member State have the right to non-discriminatory access to agreed 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 consistency between European Community law and provisions of bilateral air services agreements between Member States of the European Community and the United Arab Emirates will provide a sound legal basis for air services between the European Community and the United Arab Emirates and preserve the continuity and development of such air services,

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

RECOGNISING that provisions in bilateral air services agreements concluded between Member States of the European Community and the United Arab Emirates 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 (ii) reinforce the effects of any such agreement, decision or concerted practice; or (iii) delegate to air carriers or other private economic operators the responsibility for taking measures that prevent, distort or restrict competition between air carriers on the relevant routes may render ineffective the competition rules applicable to undertakings,

NOTING that it is not a purpose of the European Community, as part of this Agreement, to increase the total volume of air traffic between the European Community and the United Arab Emirates, to affect the balance between Community air carriers and air carriers of the United Arab Emirates, or to prevail over the interpretation of the provisions of existing bilateral air services agreements concerning traffic rights,
