I voted in favour of this amendment to the EU-US Air Transport Agreement. Any suspension would lead to passengers and airlines from the Union experiencing significant losses to the benefits that they have enjoyed since March 2008. I agree with the rapporteur’s analysis that this Agreement is not perfect. However, it has the merit of tabling important elements that enable this process to move forward, and avoid the risk of the activation of the suspension clause in the absence of an agreement of this nature.
In fact, this Agreement – a second-stage Agreement – does not achieve the end objective of a complete opening up of the market, with no restrictions on either side, although it does contain a series of incentives promoting reform. In concrete terms, when the US amends its legislation to allow EU investors to become majority shareholders in US airlines, the EU will reciprocate. In any case, this process will not be straightforward, and any decision relating to it will depend on monitoring and the final proposal arrived at, under circumstances that are instrumental to ensuring improved air transport and the success of European companies."@en1
