I am in favour of adopting the motion for a resolution on the above matter. The Treaty of Lisbon extended the circumstances in which Parliament’s consent was required for the conclusion of an international agreement. Air agreements now fall within this category, because they cover a field to which the ordinary legislative procedure applies. Previously Parliament had only been consulted on such agreements. The EU-US aviation markets, taken together, account for around 60% of world air traffic. Opening the market to EU and US airlines on a non-discriminatory basis would offer passengers and freight operators improved services in terms of both variety and cost, provide substantial economic benefits and create jobs. In addition, regulatory convergence could do much to promote fair competition, particularly with regard to state subsidies and social and environmental standards. At the same time, we should recognise that a number of issues remain outside the scope of the Agreement as amended by the new Protocol. For this reason, the Commission needs to look forward towards negotiating another stage of this Agreement, covering issues including: further liberalisation of traffic rights, additional foreign investment opportunities and the effect of environmental measures and infrastructure constraints on the exercise of traffic rights."@en1
