CORRIGENDUM TO REPORT from : to :
Council General Secretariat COREPER

Subject : Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council
on a Code of Conduct for computerised reservation systems (first reading) - Examination of the compromise text with a view to an agreement
This correction integrates into the text the wording of article 8 of the Commission’s proposal which was not affected by the EP amendment 27. The wording has the same meaning of that of Article 8 paragraph 2 of Council’s general approach (doc.6290/08). It allows the Commission to “require all system vendors operating in the Community to treat air carriers of [a] third country in a manner that is equivalent to the treatment given to Community air carriers in that third country”. The acceptance by Coreper of EP amendment 27 (paragraph 1a) implies that paragraph 1 (the initial Commission proposal) must also be taken on board, since the wording of the amendment itself does not convey the full meaning of the text contained in either the general approach or the Commission proposal.

Page 17, Article 8 should read as follows:
"Article 8 Equivalent treatment in third countries
-
1.Without prejudice to international agreements to which the Community or the Member States are parties, where the treatment given to Community air carriers by a system vendor operating in a third country is not equivalent to the treatment given to the third country participating carriers with regard to any matter contained in this Regulation, the Commission may require all system vendors operating in the Community to treat air carriers of that third country in a manner that is equivalent to the treatment given to Community air carriers in that third country.
1a. The Commission shall monitor the application of the discriminatory or non-equivalent treatment of Community air carriers by system vendors in third countries. At the request of a Member State or on its own initiative, the Commission shall investigate potential cases of discrimination against EU carriers in CRSs of third countries. Where such discrimination is found, before taking a decision, the Commission shall inform the Member States and interested parties and seek their comments, including by holding a meeting of relevant experts from the Member States. (Amendment 27)"
