At the end of 2002 the third package has been in force for ten
years. It as therefore a good moment to review the record in terms
of compliance and problems which have been encountered. Competition
Law continues to play an important role in the airline sector and
topical issues include frequent flyer programs, the response by
traditional airlines to law-cost airlines and arrangements between
low-cost airlines and airports. For the last few years state aid to
airlines had been a dormant issue, but it is now back in earnest -
in connection with the very different responses of the EU and the
US to the events of 11 September, the similar but different fates
of Sabena and Swissair and the opening of a Commission
investigation into Olympic Airways. Passenger rights remains a
subject high on the commission's agenda, and its proposal for a
regulation on compensation for denied boarding and flight delays
and cancellation is exciting strong opposition from airlines. All
these subjects were covered in the Association's annual conference
for 2002 in Stockholm, and in some cases from a particular
Scandinavian point of view. General developments in the Nordic and
the Baltic regions have also been discussed particularly in view of
the expected imminent special aviation arrangements between the
Baltic States and the EU.
