The transport ministers of the European Union granted
a mandate to the European Commission to open
negotiations on an air transport agreement with Brazil.
The negotiations will aim at opening market access for
airlines and achieving a high level of regulatory
convergence in areas of security,environment aspects
and consumer protection.
According to an economic impact assessment study,
an agreement with Brazil could generate up to 460 million
Euro consumer benefits a year and the potential for traffic
growth is estimated at 335,000 additional passengers in
the first year.
On July 1’th of this year Brazil and the European Union
signed an agreement that ensures non-discriminatory
treatment for all EU airlines.
Also an aviation safety agreement was signed which will
strengthen the technical cooperation in all areas of
aviation safety.
Brazil is by far the largest air transport market in South
America with more than four million passengers carried
in 2009 on flights between the European Union and
Brazil.
