DECISION OF THE COUNCIL AND OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL
of 20 December 2012
on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Government of the State of Israel, of the other part
(2013/398/EU)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE MEMBER STATES, MEETING WITHIN THE COUNCIL
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 100 (2), in conjunction with Article 218 (5) and the first paragraph of Article 218 (8) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Commission has negotiated on behalf of the Union and of the Member States a Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement between the European Union and its Member States of the one part and the Government of the State of Israel of the other part (hereinafter, the "Agreement") in accordance with the Decision of the Council and of the Representatives of the Governments of the Member States of the European Union, meeting within the Council on 8 April 2008 authorising the Commission to open negotiations. The negotiations were successfully concluded by the initialling of the Agreement on 30 July 2012. |
(2) |
Since the Agreement contains elements of both Union and Member States' competence, in order to ensure close cooperation and unity in international relations, this Decision should be adopted jointly by the Council and the Member States. In addition, this Decision also aims to ensure a uniform application in respect of the Joint Committee set up under Article 22 of the Agreement. |
(3) |
The rules envisaged to ensure such close cooperation and unity should include clear guidance for representation "on the spot", inter alia by confirming the necessity of a joint and common approach. In the context of a mixed agreement, these rules should still fully respect the division of competences between the Union and its Member States, as well as Union procedures also as regards the establishment of the Union position and the representation of the Union within the Joint Committee. |
(4) |
The Agreement should be signed and applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures for its conclusion, |
