“For the EU aviation industry to remain competitive, it is essential that market
access is based on a regulatory framework which promotes EU values and
standards, enables reciprocal opportunities and prevents distortion of
competition.
As there is currently no international legal framework to deal with possible unfair
commercial practices in international aviation, it is important and legitimate for the
EU to address such practices to ensure fair and sustainable competition.
Regulation 868/2004 on the protection against subsidisation and unfair pricing
practices covers this issue but, as it currently stands, is not considered effective
among stakeholders.”An Aviation Strategy for Europe: COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE
EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS, Brussels, 7.12.2015

A new provider will undoubtedly offer a lower
price service to the airport, but:
• How will the lost revenue be compensated for by the
incumbent provider?
• Will the saving be outweighed at a national level by
increased costs elsewhere (eg to strengthen CAA)?
• Will the saving be enough to eliminate the need for
subsidy? A
