    COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2023/1043

    of 22 May 2023

    establishing the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union within the Committee on Trade in Civil Aircraft on the accession of Brazil to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft

    THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

    Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

    Whereas:

    (1)

    The Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft (1) (the ‘Agreement’) was concluded by the Union by Council Decision 80/271/EEC (2) and entered into force on 1 January 1980.

    (2)

    Brazil submitted its application to the Committee on Trade in Civil Aircraft (the ‘Committee’) for accession to the Agreement, together with its proposed tariff commitments, on 14 June 2022.

    (3)

    In view of those commitments, Brazil’s application for accession to the Agreement meets the requirements set out therein.

    (4)

    Brazil’s accession to the Agreement is expected to make a positive contribution to free and undistorted trade in the civil aircraft sector.

    (5)

    Pursuant to Article 9.1.3 of the Agreement and point 5 of the Guidance Note on the Implementation of Article 9.1.3 of the Agreement, the Committee has the power to take a decision agreeing to the terms of accession and to give its consent to the applicant government to deposit with the Director-General of the WTO an instrument of accession, which states the terms so agreed.

    (6)

    It is therefore appropriate to establish the position to be adopted on the Union’s behalf within the Committee in relation to the accession of Brazil to the Agreement,

    HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

    Article 1

    The position to be adopted on the Union’s behalf within the Committee on Trade in Civil Aircraft shall be to approve the accession of Brazil to the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft.

    Article 2

    This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.

    Done at Brussels, 22 May 2023.

    For the Council

    The President

    E. BUSCH
