Dec 20, 2007 (newstodate): The EU Commission and the Kazakh Civil Aviation Committee have agreed on an aviation agreement which will restore legal certainty to the bilateral air services agreements between Kazakhstan and EU member states.
The agreement brings several provisions in the 15 bilateral air services agreements between EU Member States and Kazakhstan in line with EU law.
Most importantly, it will remove nationality restrictions in the bilateral air services agreements between EU Member States and Kazakhstan and thereby allows any EU airline to operate flights between Kazakhstan and any EU Member State in the framework set by the bilateral agreement.
Traffic rights will continue to be negotiated bilaterally between the respective EU Member State and Kazakhstan.
With 330.000 passengers travelling between the EU and the country in 2006, Kazakhstan is the most important aviation partner of the EU in Central Asia.
