The European Union and Canada have agreed to an open-skies planthat will make Europe-Canada one of the most liberal aviation markets in the world. When the plan is completely phased in, European nationals will be able to establish operations in Canada and freely invest in Canadian airlines, and vice versa. Consumer-protection provisions also will be included.The deal is considerably more liberal than the U.S.-E.U. aviation agreement, because it includes a commitment to eventually permit cabotage.Source: Travel Weekly, find article here>>.
