It should be noted that if no air carrier has declared to the Civil Aviation Department, Directorate for
Air Operations by 1 March 2006 an intention to operate scheduled services from 1 April 2006 on one
or more of the abovementioned routes without financial compensation, Greece has decided, under the
procedure set out in Article 4(1)(d) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, to limit access to each or several
of the abovementioned routes to only one carrier for three years and to grant the right to operate those
services from 1 April 2006 following an invitation to tender.

With regard to the three above-mentioned routes, the obligations and the fares replace the obligations
provided for in Official Journal of the European Communities C 239 of 25 August 2001.

Otherwise, the public service obligations published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C
239 of 25 August 2001 continue to apply.
