EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

International  aviation  relations  between  Member  States  and  third  countries  have  been 
traditionally governed by bilateral air services agreements between Member States and third 
countries, their Annexes and other related bilateral or multilateral arrangements. 

Following the judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Communities in the cases 
C-466/98, C-467/98, C-468/98, C-471/98, C-472/98, C-475/98 and C-476/98, the Community 
has exclusive competence with respect to various aspects of external aviation. The Court of 
Justice  also  clarified  the  right  of  Community  air  carriers  to  benefit  from  the  right  of 
establishment within the Community, including the right to non-discriminatory market access. 

Traditional  designation  clauses  in  Member  States’  bilateral  air  services  agreements  infringe 
Community law. They allow a third country to reject, withdraw or suspend the permissions or 
authorisations  of  an  air  carrier  that  has  been  designated  by  a  Member  State  but  that  is  not 
substantially owned and effectively controlled by that Member State or its nationals. This has 
been found to constitute discrimination against Community carriers established in the territory 
of  a  Member  State  but  owned  and  controlled  by  nationals  of  other  Member  States.  This  is 
contrary to Article 43 of the Treaty which guarantees nationals of Member States who have 
exercised their freedom of establishment the same treatment in the host Member State as that 
accorded to nationals of that Member State. 

Following  the  Court  of  Justice  judgements,  the  Council  authorised  the  Commission  in  June 
2003  to  open  negotiations  with  third  countries  on  the  replacement  of  certain  provisions  in 
existing bilateral agreements with a Community agreement.1  

In  accordance  with  the  mechanisms  and  directives  in  the  Annex  to  the  Council’s  decision 
authorising the Commission to open negotiations with third countries on the replacement of 
certain  provisions  in  existing  bilateral  agreements  with  a  Community  agreement,  the 
Commission has negotiated an agreement with the Republic of Lebanon that replaces certain 
provisions  in  the  existing  bilateral  air  services  agreements  between  Member  States  and  the 
Republic of Lebanon. Article 2 of the Agreement replaces the traditional designation clauses 
with a Community designation clause, permitting all Community carriers to benefit from the 
right  of  establishment.  Articles  4  and  5  of  the  Agreement  address  two  types  of  clauses 
concerning matters of Community competence. Article 4 deals with the taxation of aviation 
fuel, a matter which has been harmonised by Council Directive 2003/96/EC restructuring the 
Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity, particularly Article 
14 paragraph 2 thereof. Article 5 (Pricing) resolves conflicts between the existing bilateral air 
services agreements and  Council  Regulation No. 2409/92 on fares and rates for air services 
which  prohibits  third  country  carriers  from  being  price  leaders  on  air  services  for  carriage 
wholly within the Community. 

The  Council  is  asked  to  approve  the  decisions  on  the  signature  and  provisional  application 
and on the conclusion of the agreement between the European Community and the Republic 
of Lebanon on certain aspects of air services and to designate the persons authorized to sign 
the agreement on behalf of the Community.
