"I welcomed this international agreement because it establishes relations in the field of aviation between the EU and its 27 Member States and Georgia. The purpose of the agreement is to ensure the gradual establishment of an EU/Georgia common aviation area. The existing bilateral agreements on air traffic services will henceforth be replaced. The agreement is being concluded as part of the EU neighbourhood policy, one of the aims of which is to establish a common aviation area between the EU and its neighbours. The agreement will extend to Georgia all the legislation and rules governing the EU single market in air transport and will establish uniform conditions for all air carriers in the EU and Georgia. Application to Georgia of current rules on aviation safety, security and air traffic management will open the markets of both parties and enable all economic operators to participate on a non-discriminatory basis. This means that in future, air carriers in the EU and Georgia will be able to offer their services anywhere in the EU and Georgia. I believe that the reciprocal opening of markets will bring new participants into the market, will see the use of airports that have, until now, been under-used, and will consolidate EU air carriers. The Commission estimates that the gradual establishment of the EU/Georgia common aviation area will, in the first year alone, boost passenger numbers by 25 000 and generate benefits to consumers worth around EUR 17 million."@en1
