(Text with EEA relevance)

1. 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, France has decided to alter the public service
obligations on scheduled air services between the airports of Agen (La Garenne) and Paris (Orly)
published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 331 of 19 November 1999.

2. The altered public service obligations are as follows:

Minimum frequency

The services must be operated, except during four weeks in August and one week in December, with at
least:

(cid:151) three return trips a day, from Monday to Friday inclusive, 225 days a year,

(cid:151) one return trip on Sunday evening, 45 weeks a year.

The services must be operated without a stopover between the airports of Agen (La Garenne) and Paris
(Orly).

Type of aircraft used and capacity provided

The service must be operated with a pressurised turboprop or jet aircraft having a seating capacity of at
least 30.

Timetables

Timetables must be such as to enable passengers on business trips during the working week to make
the round trip from the airport of Agen (La Garenne) within the day and to spend at least eight hours
in Paris.

Slots are reserved at Paris (Orly) airport from Monday to Friday for the scheduled Paris (Orly)(cid:150)Agen (La
Garenne) service pursuant to Article 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the
allocation of slots at Community airports. Air carriers interested in this route can obtain information
about these slots from the Paris airports coordinator.

Flight bookings

Flights must be marketed by means of at least one computerised reservation system.

Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the
carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled in any IATA scheduling season.

The carrier must give six months’ notice before discontinuing these services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation of air services without regard to the
abovementioned public service obligations may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.

3. These public service obligations will replace those concerning scheduled air services between Agen (La
Garenne) and Paris (Orly), published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 331 of 19
November 1999, with effect from 11 April 2002.
