Division (14)

On the basis of the reservations expressed by the Commission in its letter of serious doubts, the Parties proposed commitments which were published for comment on 9 December 2003. Several airlines and the United Kingdom Office of Fair Trading commented on them. In the light of these comments, the Parties accepted to improve further their commitments. In particular, the conditions on the spread of slots at Paris CDG airport were substantially amended and the limitation on the number of slots to be released at Orly airport was removed. The main principles of these commitments are summarised below.
