Revision by Ireland of the maximum fare imposed in the context of the public service obligations
in respect of scheduled air services between Dublin and Kerry, Dublin and Galway, and Dublin
and Sligo

(2000/C 77/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services between Dublin and Kerry, Dublin and
Galway, and Dublin and Sligo were published in the Official Journal of the Eurpean Communities C 312 of 14
October 1997 pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on
access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes. They stipulate that in the event of an
abnormal and unforeseeable increase in the cost factors affecting the operation of the routes for which the
carrier is not responsible the maximum fare may be increased in proportion to the increase observed. The
new maximum fare will then be notified to the carrier operating the services concerned and will not enter
into force until it has been notified to the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

In accordance with the abovementioned provisions, Ireland has decided to set a maximum return fare of
IEP 97 on each of the three routes in question.
