lpv:translated text	". The Commission proposal forms part of the EU's overall strategy to regulate aviation relations between the Community and third countries and to concentrate at Community level competences which have hitherto come under the jurisdiction of the Member States, thereby strengthening the process of swindling the Member States out of their capacity for independent negotiation and reducing their national sovereignty. Following the referral by the ΕU to the European Court and, essentially, the conviction of the eight Member States who have signed ‘open skies’ type bilateral air service agreements with the USA, the ΕU has found a first class opportunity to force the Member States to consent to its intervention and participation in what was hitherto the strictly national matter of negotiating and concluding or renegotiating existing bilateral air service agreements. In this way, the ΕU is literally ‘butting into’ negotiations between Member States and third countries and this is fostering European integration and the interests of the European aviation monopolies to the detriment of the Member States’ capacity to negotiate independently with third countries in accordance with their national interests in order to achieve agreements which are beneficial to them in the field of their aviation relations. We shall vote against this report because, despite any efforts to mitigate the adverse arrangements, it moves along the same lines as the Commission."@en1
