AGREEMENT

between the European Union and the Republic of Korea on certain aspects of air services

THE EUROPEAN UNION,

of the one part, and

THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA,

of the other part,

hereinafter jointly referred to as "the Contracting Parties",

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

NOTING that a number of bilateral air services agreements have been concluded between several Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Korea containing similar provisions and that there is an obligation for Member States of the European Union to take all appropriate steps to eliminate incompatibilities between such agreements and the EU Treaties,

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

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

HAVING REGARD to the agreements between the European Union 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 the law of the European Union,

RECOGNISING that consistency between the law of the European Union and provisions of the bilateral air service agreements between Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Korea will provide a sound legal basis for air services between the European Union and the Republic of Korea and preserve the continuity of such air services,

NOTING that provisions of the bilateral air services agreements between Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Korea which are not inconsistent with the law of the European Union do not need to be amended or replaced,

NOTING that amendments to the bilateral air services agreements between Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Korea would confirm the excellent relationship between the European Union and the Republic of Korea in the field of air transport, and

NOTING that it is not a purpose of the European Union in this Agreement to increase the total volume of air traffic between the European Union and the Republic of Korea, to affect the balance between European Union air carriers and air carriers of the Republic of Korea, or to prevail over the interpretation of the provisions of existing bilateral air service agreements concerning traffic rights,
