"Mr President, there are numerous bilateral science and technology agreements between Canada and the European Union Member States involving government institutions, university research centres, private foundations and the private sector. At the same time, the European Union and Canada must step up their cooperation on electronic communications and information technology.
I should point out that, in the transport sector, the European Parliament has approved the conclusion of three agreements between the European Union and Canada: an air transport framework agreement, a civil aviation safety agreement and a Passenger Name Record agreement, with all these agreements being regarded as model agreements for each category individually.
These agreements facilitate the task of creating a single market for air transport between the European Union and Canada where investment could flow freely and where European and Canadian airlines would be able to provide air services without any kind of restrictions, including in the domestic markets of both parties.
The air transport framework agreement includes a gradual phasing in of traffic rights and investment opportunities, as well as far-reaching cooperation on a number of issues, including safety, security, social matters, consumer interests, the environment, air traffic management, State aid and competition.
All these bilateral agreements and, in particular, a comprehensive economic and trade agreement between the European Union and Canada are based on a spirit of trust and cooperation between parties. However, the same spirit of trust and cooperation must also be evident when it comes to providing a regime allowing visa-free travel to Canada for all European Union citizens.
We call for Romanian, Bulgarian and Czech citizens to enjoy the visa-free travel regime to Canada as of this year. We call for a comprehensive economic and trade agreement between the European Union and Canada to be signed only on the proviso that all European Union citizens, which also means Romanian, Bulgarian and Czech citizens, will enjoy the visa-free travel regime to Canada without any discrimination."@en1
