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  Serbia  and  Montenegro  that  replaces  certain 
provisions in the existing bilateral air services agreements between Member States and Serbia 
and Montenegro. 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  Serbia  and 
Montenegro on certain aspects of air services and to designate the persons authorized to sign 
the agreement on behalf of the Community.

on certain aspects of air services 

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY  

of the one part, and  

SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO 

of the other part 

(hereinafter referred to as ‘the Parties’) 

NOTING that bilateral air service agreements have been concluded between several Member 
States  of  the  European  Community  and  Serbia  and  Montenegro  containing  provisions 
contrary to Community law, 

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

HAVING  REGARD  to  the  agreements  between  the  European  Community  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 European Community law, 

RECOGNISING  that  certain  provisions  of  the  bilateral  air  service  agreements  between 
Member States of the European Community and Serbia and Montenegro, which are contrary
