Legal Basis:
EC Treaty (after Amsterdam) EC 080-p2Events
Recalling that the basic principles of airport charges were non-discrimination, cost-relatedness and transparency, Commissioner Kinnock said that he could accept Amendments Nos 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 21 subject to a certain amount of redrafting. However, he rejected Amendment No 5 as the main justification for these types of network – cohesion – was lacking. Mr Kinnock also rejected Amendments Nos 8, second paragraph, and 18. As regards the cross-subsidies covered by Amendments Nos 10, 20 and 26, the Commissioner said that he was against both abuses and the complete exclusion of these types of practice or, with greater reason, their limitation to domestic flights because this would contradict the basic principle of non-discrimination. In addition, although Mr Kinnock agreed with the idea of environmental charges only addressing local problems, he was against Amendment No 11 which went beyond the aim of modulations in charges. Amendment No 12 also had to be rejected as the proposal in question was only meant to ensure greater transparency in the airport charging system and not harmonise the airport sector in Europe . As for Amendment No 13 introducing an independent arbitration body, this could not be accepted as it was inconsistent with the legal system provided for by the Treaty in terms of interpreting Community law. The Commissioner finally specified that he accepted Amendments Nos 16, 17, 22 and 23 but was against the following amendments: Nos 14, 15, 19 (which, among other aspects, was incompatible with the non-discrimination principle), 24 and 25 (as the latter would penalise air transport).
The Economic and Social Committee welcomed the Commission’s initiative aimed at bringing more transparency into the relationship between charges and services at airports within the Community that were covered by this Directive. The ESC assumed that existing national disciplinary arrangements would be sufficient to implement penalties at national level in the event of infringements and asked the Commission to illustrate the relevant possibilities. As far as the current situation in the EU was concerned, the ESC was in favour of distinguishing between airport charges and the usual national taxes. Here too, however, the aim should be EU-wide harmonisation in order to create a level playing field. As regards airport charges, the aim was to harmonise the criteria for adjusting charges. Finally, the ESC suggested that the proposal should explain more clearly what was expected from airport management bodies when assessing costs and cost-efficiency, for instance by giving some concrete figures, and also bearing in mind quality characteristics.
