THE COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3976/87 of 14 December 1987 on the application of Article 85 (3) to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices in the air transport sector (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No  2411/92 (2), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas the present block exemptions in the air transport sector laid down in Commission Regulations (EEC) No 83/91 (3) and (EEC) No 84/91 (4), are expiring on 31 December 1992;
Whereas the Council is expected to adopt specific rules on slot allocation at airports (5) and on computer reservation systems (6) in the near future;
Whereas it is desirable to take into account these future Council rules when establishing the final text of the block exemptions to be applied after 31 December 1992 (7);
Whereas it is convenient, therefore, to continue the existing block exemptions in force for a short period, in order to be able to take account of these Council rules,
