"I voted in favour of this resolution on the Common Aviation Area Agreement between the European Union and Georgia. This agreement will regulate relations between the EU and its 27 Member States and Georgia in the field of aviation. 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 The existing bilateral agreements on air traffic services between the two parties are to be superseded by the new agreement. 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. I support the rapporteur’s position that applying the current rules on aviation safety, security and air traffic management to Georgia 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. Reciprocal market opening will undoubtedly 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
