Paragraph 30
30. Calls on the Commission to complete a fair agreement with the Russian Federation regarding the modernisation of the existing system of utilisation of Trans-Siberian Routes; Notes that the Russian Federation refuses to respect the agreement on the phasing-out of Siberian overflight royalties reached in the framework of the Russian Federation's WTO accession in 2011; considers that, as the EU carriers are placed under long-term discriminatory conditions by these illegal transit charges, the EU should be able to take reciprocal measures by denying or limiting transit over its territory or generally by establishing any measure related to the use of EU airspace for air carriers of the Russian Federation in order to motivate the Russian Federation to remove the above-mentioned charges which are illegal as they contravene international agreements (the Chicago Convention) and therefore calls on the Commission and the Council to examine possible measures to ensure reciprocity in relation to the use of air space between the Russian Federation and the Union;
