Following the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 28 April 2015 in Case C-28/12, this proposal for a Council Decision aims to amend the initial Commission proposal for the conclusion of the Protocol to Amend the Air Transport Agreement between the United States of America, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part.
In accordance with Decision 2010/465/EU, the Protocol to amend the Air Transport Agreement between the United States of America, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, was signed on 24 June 2010, subject to its conclusion at a later date. The Agreement has been ratified by all Member States except the Republic of Croatia.
Certain provisions of Decision 2010/465/EU contain decision-making and representation provisions on various matters contained in the Agreement as amended by the Protocol. It is proposed to discontinue the application of these provisions in the light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 28 April 2015 in Case C-28/12.
