In June 2020, the European Commission signed two bilateral air services agreements with Japan and the Republic of Korea, which mark important results under the Aviation Strategy for Europe, to generate growth for European businesses, encourage innovation and provide passengers with safer flights, cleaner and cheaper. The Horizontal Air Services Agreement, signed on 25 June 2020, allows each European airline to travel to the Republic of Korea from each of the 22 Member States that have concluded a bilateral air services agreement with the country. Since such bilateral air services agreements have traditionally provided that only airlines owned by a Member State or its nationals and controlled by that Member State and a third country are allowed to fly between that Member State and a third country, the conclusion of the horizontal agreement is beneficial for air carriers of both Parties. To solve the problems identified by the ECJ, two methods have been developed to amend existing bilateral air transport agreements: – negotiate uniform „horizontal“ agreements, with the Commission acting on behalf of the EU Member States. Any „horizontal“ agreement aims to amend the relevant provisions of all existing bilateral AAs in a single negotiation with a third country. Commission Decision on the approval of standard clauses for inclusion in bilateral air services agreements between Member States and third countries, established jointly by the Commission and the Member States A horizontal agreement is an international agreement negotiated by the European Commission on behalf of the EU Member States in order to put in place all existing bilateral agreements between the Member States of the European Union and a specified third countries having: to bring into compliance with EU law. The SAA covers the basic framework within which airlines enjoy bilateral economic rights to fly two countries. The frequency, frequency of designated airlines of the two signatory countries, points of origin and intermediate points, traffic rights, type of aircraft and tax issues are usually covered by soft spots. In 1913, a bilateral exchange of banknotes between Germany and France was signed in the agreement probably as soon as possible[1] in order to allow airship services. This work aims to remove legal uncertainty and ensure the continuity of bilateral SAAs and the development of international air services. The alignment of existing bilateral agreements with EU law is also important for the third countries concerned and for the entire air transport sector, including airlines, users, etc.
Therefore, this objective must be achieved effectively and within a reasonable period of time. Work procedures are a type of agreement with a foreign CAA with which the FAA has not entered into a bilateral agreement. They are used to define the methods used by the FAA`s Aircraft Certification Service to assist another state in authorizing aeronautical products and articles exported from the United States to that state. Backgrounder: EU external aviation policy: why does the EU intend to amend air services agreements between its Member States and partner countries? In addition, some aspects dealt with in bilateral air services agreements (SAAs) fall within the exclusive competence of the EU and therefore cannot be negotiated autonomously by EU Member States. . . .
