AGREEMENT

between the European Union and the Government of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka on certain aspects of air services

THE EUROPEAN UNION,

(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Union’)

of the one part, and

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA,

(hereinafter referred to as ‘Sri Lanka’),

of the other part,

(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Parties’)

NOTING that bilateral air service agreements have been concluded between several Member States of the Union and Sri Lanka,

RECOGNISING that certain provisions of the bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the Union and Sri Lanka, which are contrary to the law of the Union, must be brought into conformity with the law of the Union in order to establish a sound legal basis for air services between the Union and Sri Lanka and to preserve the continuity of such air services,

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

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

HAVING REGARD to the agreements between the Union and certain third countries providing for the possibility for the nationals of such third countries (countries listed under Annex 3) to acquire ownership in air carriers licensed in accordance with the law of the Union,

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

RECOGNISING that provisions in bilateral air service agreements concluded between Member States of the Union and Sri Lanka 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 application of the competition rules applicable to undertakings,

RECOGNISING that where a Member State has designated an air carrier whose regulatory control with regard to safety oversight is exercised and maintained by another Member State, the rights of Sri Lanka under the safety provisions of the agreement between the Member State that has designated the carrier and Sri Lanka should apply equally in relation to that other Member State,

NOTING that the bilateral air services agreements listed in Annex 1 are based on the general principle that the designated airlines of the parties shall have fair and equal opportunities in operating the agreed services on the specified routes,

NOTING that it is not a purpose of this agreement to increase the total volume of air traffic between the Union and Sri Lanka, to affect the balance between Community air carriers and air carriers of Sri Lanka, or to negotiate amendments to the provisions of existing bilateral air service agreements concerning traffic rights,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
