European Commission initials civil aviation agreements with India

Brussels, Belgium : Delegations of the European Commission and the Government of the Republic of India initialled on 8 April 2008 in Brussels a Horizontal Aviation Agreement which will restore legal certainty to the bilateral air services agreements between India and 26 EU member states. The two delegations were led respectively by Matthias Ruete, director general for Energy and Transport of the European Commission and Ashok Chawla, secretary of the ministry of civil aviation of the Government of India.
The agreement will bring several provisions in the 26 bilateral air services agreements between EU member states and India in line with EU law. Most importantly, it will remove nationality restrictions in the bilateral air services agreements between EU member states and India and thereby allows any EU airline to operate flights between India and any EU member state where it is established and where a bilateral agreement with India exists and traffic rights are available.
