THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

of the one part, and

THE GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA (hereinafter Malaysia)

of the other part

(hereinafter referred to as the Parties)

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

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 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,
