Analysis
On the 7th of December 2015, the European Commission adopted and published a package of measures entitled “Aviation Strategy for Europe” with its accompanying stated intention being “to ensure that the European (EU) aviation sector remains competitive and reaps the benefits of a fast changing and developing global economy”.
A key part of the package of proposals is an attempt by the European Commission to change the way aviation agreements with key partner countries are negotiated.
