SEP 28, 2005 (newstodate): On September 27, the EU Commission proposed to open negotiations with Ukraine to develop a common aviation area.
The aim is to further deepen aviation relations with Ukraine following the negotiation of a so-called "horisontal" air agreement that resolves the legal issues raised by the European Court of Justice in the Open Skies cases.
The proposed agreement would be an important step towards strengthening aviation relations between EU and Ukraine, a EU release says.
In 2004, 1.5 million passengers travelled
between the EU and Ukraine by air transport, 25 percent more than in 2003.
Ukraine has signed bilateral air services agreements with all 25 EU Member States, and is considered a priority country in the European Neighbourhood Policy.
