Proposal for a Council Decision on the signing, on behalf of the Union, and provisional application of the Agreement between the European Union and the Government of the Republic of Peru on certain aspects of air services

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

The provisions of the Agreement supersede or complement the existing provisions in the 12 bilateral air services agreements between Member States and the Republic of Peru.
