EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1)  CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

110 

•  Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

Following the judgements of the Court of Justice in the so-called “Open Skies” cases, 
on  5  June  2003  the  Council  granted  the  Commission  a  mandate  to  open  negotiations 
with  third  countries  on  the  replacement  of  certain  provisions  in  existing  agreements 
with  a  Community  agreement1  (the  “horizontal  mandate”).  The  objectives  of  such 
agreements are to give all EU air carriers non-discriminatory access to routes between 
the  Community  and  third  countries,  and  to  bring  bilateral  air  service  agreements 
between Member States and third countries in line with Community law. 

120 

•  General context 

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

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. 

There  are  further  issues,  such  as  aviation  fuel  taxation,  tariffs  introduced  by  third 
country air carriers on intra-Community routes, or obligatory commercial agreements 
between  airlines  where  compliance  with  Community  law  should  be  ensured  through 
amending  or  complementing  existing  provisions  in  bilateral  air  services  agreements 
between Member States and third countries. 

130 

140 

•  Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

The provisions of the Agreement supersede or complement the existing provisions in 
eleven bilateral air services agreements between Member States and Mongolia. 

•  Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

The Agreement will serve a fundamental objective of the Community external aviation 
policy  by  bringing  existing  bilateral  air  services  agreements  in  line  with  Community 
law.

2)  CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT 

•  Consultation of interested parties 

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents 

Member States as well as the industry were consulted throughout the negotiations. 

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account 

Comments made by Member States and the industry have been taken into account. 

3)  LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

•  Summary of the proposed action 

In  accordance  with  the  mechanisms  and  directives  in  the  Annex  to  the  ”horizontal 
mandate”,  the  Commission  has  negotiated  an  agreement  with  Mongolia  that  replaces 
certain provisions in existing bilateral air services agreements between Member States 
and Mongolia. 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,  and  in  particular  Article  14  (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. Article 6 brings provisions in bilateral agreements which are clearly anti-
competitive  (obligatory  commercial  agreements  between  airlines)  in  line  with  EU 
competition law. 

•  Legal basis 

EC Treaty Art. 80(2), 300(2) 

•  Subsidiarity principle 

The  proposal  is  entirely  based  on  the  “horizontal  mandate”  granted  by  the  Council 
taking  into  account  the  issues  covered  by  Community  law  and  bilateral  air  services 
agreements. 

•  Proportionality principle 

The  Agreement  will  amend  or  complement  provisions  in  bilateral  air  services 
agreements only to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with Community law.

•  Choice of instruments 

The Agreement between the Community and Mongolia is the most efficient instrument 
to  bring  all  existing  bilateral  air  services  agreements  between  Member  States  and 
Mongolia  into  conformity  with  Community  law.  Mongolia  and  France  had  brought 
their bilateral agreement into conformity with Community law in early 2007. 

4)  BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

The proposal has no implication for the Community budget. 

5)  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

•  Simplification 

The proposal provides for simplification of legislation. 

The  relevant  provisions  of  bilateral  air  services  agreements  between  Member  States 
and  Mongolia  will  be  superseded  or  complemented  by  provisions  in  one  single 
Community agreement. 

•  Detailed explanation of the proposal 

In  accordance  with  the  standard  procedure  for  the  signature  and  conclusion  of 
international agreements, 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 Mongolia on certain aspects of air services and to designate 
the persons authorised to sign the Agreement on behalf of the Community.

AGREEMENT 

between the European Community and the Government of Mongolia  

on certain aspects of air services 

THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY  

of the one part, and  

THE GOVERNMENT OF MONGOLIA  

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  Mongolia  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 
European Community and third countries, 

NOTING  that  under  European  Community  law  Community  air  carriers  established  in  a 
Member State have the right to non-discriminatory access to air routes between the Member 
States of the European Community and third countries, 

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 Mongolia, which are contrary to European 
Community law, must be brought into conformity with it in order to establish a sound legal 
basis  for  air  services  between  the  European  Community  and  Mongolia  and  to  preserve  the 
continuity of such air services, 

NOTING  that  under  European  Community  law  air  carriers  may  not,  in  principle,  conclude 
agreements which may affect trade between Member States of the European Community and 
which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition 

NOTING that it is not a purpose of the European Community, as part of these negotiations, to 
increase  the  total  volume  of  air  traffic  between  the  European  Community  and  Mongolia,  to 
affect  the  balance  between  Community  air  carriers  and  air  carriers  of  Mongolia,  or  to 
negotiate amendments to the provisions of existing bilateral air service agreements concerning 
traffic rights.

concerted  practices  that  prevent,  distort  or  restrict  competition  between  air  carriers  in  the 
relevant  routes;  or  ii)  reinforce  the  effects  of  any  such  agreement,  decision  or  concerted 
practice; or iii) delegate to air carriers or other private economic operators the responsibility 
for  taking  measures  that  prevent,  distort  or  restrict  competition  between  air  carriers  in  the
