DescriptionMineta, N.Y. (2004) Statement by U.S. transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta on U.S.-E.U. open skies agreement, Distributed by the Bureau of International Information Programs, U.S. Department of State, June 11, 2004



Today's completion of the text of a first-step agreement between the United States and the European Union provides an historic opportunity to increase travel, reduce fares, expand commerce and bring two continents closer together than ever before. The agreement also goes beyond traditional Open-Skies agreements by applying those principles on a regional basis. It provides new opportunities for U.S. and European airlines, healthier competition for a growing travel market and greater connections between cities and towns of all sizes on both sides of the Atlantic. More broadly, this agreement would bring nearly 750 million people and twenty six countries together to comprise the largest and most lucrative open aviation market ever created. I hope that this agreement will be approved so our airlines, travellers, and economies can begin reaping its benefits.
