Text tabled : A7-0344/2011

  Maria do Céu Patrão Neves (PPE), in writing. – (PT) The intention of this international agreement is to regulate relations in the area of aviation between the European Union, its 27 Member States and Georgia. The goal of the aforementioned agreement is to create a common aviation area between the EU and Georgia. The bilateral agreements in force, which have regulated air services between the parties to date, should be replaced with this new agreement. This stage is part of the European neighbourhood policy, which also intends to create a common aviation area between the European Union and its neighbouring countries. I voted for this agreement for all these reasons.
