"Under the Treaty of Lisbon, air agreements require the European Parliament’s consent, as they concern a sector to which the ordinary legislative procedure applies. We agree with the Committee on Transport and Tourism’s idea to set out some general principles regarding how air agreements should be evaluated in terms of substance. Moreover, the Committee should be well informed throughout the course of negotiations, so that it has an opportunity to express its priorities well before being confronted with the yes/no choice of consent. Parliament therefore needs to follow the process from the outset. Comprehensive agreements with neighbouring countries or significant global partners can provide substantial benefits by offering European passengers and freight operators improved services – in terms of both variety and cost – while giving airlines new profit-making opportunities. Regulatory convergence can do much to promote fair competition. Lastly, we maintain that it is important to open negotiations with important trading partners in Asia, including the People’s Republic of China and India, since the economic growth of that entire region makes such agreements ever more significant from the point of view of developing world trade."@en1
