"The EU-Canada Air Transport Agreement is one of the most ambitious air transport agreements between the EU and a major world partner. It includes a gradual phasing-in of traffic rights and investment opportunities, as well as far-reaching cooperation on issues such as: safety, security, social matters, consumer interests, the environment, air traffic management, state subsidies and competition.
The Agreement will improve the connections between the respective markets and people-to-people links, as well as creating new opportunities for the airline sector through a gradual liberalisation of foreign ownership rules. According to recent studies, an open agreement with Canada would generate an additional half million passengers in its first year and, within a few years, 3.5 million extra passengers might be expected to take advantage of the opportunities such an agreement could offer. The Agreement could generate consumer benefits of at least EUR 72 million through lower fares and would also create new jobs. For the reasons outlined above, I am voting in favour of the adoption of the Agreement on air transport between the EU and Canada."@en1
