Summary:

On 17 May 2018 the European Commission presented proposals for Council Decisions on the signing and conclusion of a new bilateral air services agreement between the EU and China.

The Council of the European Union adopted a Decision on the signing of the Agreement on 26 June 2018.

Further information:

Following the judgments of the Court of Justice in the so-called 'Open Skies' cases, on 5 June 2003 the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with third countries on the replacement of certain provisions in existing bilateral air services agreements with an agreement at Union level.

The objectives of such agreements are to give all EU air carriers non-discriminatory access to routes between the European Union and third countries, and hence to bring bilateral air services agreements between Member States and third countries in line with Union law.

The negotiations with the Government of the People's Republic of China were successfully concluded by the initialling of the Agreement on 8 December 2017.
