"We are doubtful and concerned about the proposal to conclude an EU-Cape Verde agreement on certain aspects of air services, as to the consequences that might arise from it, bearing in mind the current framework of liberalisation and the resulting monopolistic concentration in the sector. As a direct result of ‘free competition’, which is held sacrosanct, the ability of the Member States to defend their flag carriers is being reduced.
The path of opening up the market has a clear impact on national air carriers, in a sector which is strategic for safeguarding national interests, for various reasons. In addition, this agreement seeks to replace some of the provisions relating to competition in the bilateral agreements concluded by certain Member States, including Portugal, with a single EU agreement, thus harmonising the range of requirements and permissions enabling air carriers to establish themselves in the territory of Cape Verde. In this way, it supersedes the specificities of the bilateral agreements of each Member State in this area. As in the earlier cases of Brazil, the US, Canada and the Economic Community of West African States, we did not vote for this report."@en1
