Text tabled : A7-0347/2011

  Radvilė Morkūnaitė-Mikulėnienė (PPE), in writing. (LT) I voted in favour of the conclusion of this agreement. This is one of those cases where an EU agreement replacing bilateral agreements of EU Member States with third countries is more ambitious and will deliver greater benefits because it lays down uniform standards for air carriers, harmonises conditions for the provision and operation of services which hitherto varied, and prevents possible discrimination. The market will gradually be opened up on a reciprocal basis, and this will contribute to the establishment of a free trade area between the EU and Jordan. The agreement will increase the efficiency of transport, will facilitate interpersonal contacts, will have a positive impact on economic development and will promote technical cooperation. This agreement should, in the first year alone, boost passenger numbers by 54 000 and generate benefits to consumers worth around EUR 30 million. It is a step towards implementing the objective set by the EU of establishing, in the long term, a common aviation area with all Mediterranean partners and is consistent with the goals of the European neighbourhood policy.
