PROPOSED BILATERAL AIR AGREEMENT WITH NORWAY | |
|
Discussions have been held recently between representatives of Norway and Canada with a view to concluding an agreement for air services between the respective territories of the two countries. A draft agreement,'[ as attached to this memorandum, has now been agreed upon in these negotiations subject to the final approval of both Governments. 2. This proposed air agreement provides for the reciprocal exchange of the Third and Fourth Freedoms and will permit the direct carriage of traffic between Canada . and the Scandinavian countries. Gander, Newfoundland, is designated as the terminal in Canada which will be served by the airline designated by Norway. This agreement is similar to the agreement which Canada signed with Sweden on June 27, 1947, and with Denmark on December 13, 1949. 3. The Governments of Norway, Denmark and Sweden participate in a jointly-operated airline, Scandinavian Airlines System. As a result, if the agreement with Norway is signed it will be necessary to have an exchange of notes in which Canada recognize that this jointly-owned airline meets the requirements of the proposed agreement. This note is also similar to the ones sent to Sweden and Denmark at the time of the signature of the agreements with those countries. 4. The undersigned has the honour to recommend that Canada should now approve and sign the proposed air agreement with Norway together with the exchange of notes relating to the ownership of Scandinavian Airlines System.6 BROOKE CLAXTON 6Approuvé par le cabinet le 17 janvier 1950.
