With respect to paragraph 7 (c) of Article 10, the delegations expressed their understanding that surface transportation providers shall not be subject to laws and regulations governing air transportation on the sole basis that such surface transportation is held out by an airline under its own name. Moreover, surface transportation providers, just as airlines, have the discretion to decide whether to enter into cooperative arrangements.
En ce qui concerne l'article 10, paragraphe 7, point c), les délégations ont indiqué que, d'après elles, les transporteurs de surface n'étaient pas soumis aux dispositions législatives et réglementaires régissant le transport aérien au seul motif que le transport de surface est assuré par un transporteur aérien sous sa propre enseigne.
