OUTERMOST REGIONS: EUROPEAN COMMISSION AUTHORISES SOCIAL AID FOR AIR PASSENGERS |

Brussels, 21 April 2005 - The Commission has decided to authorise two social State aid schemes designed to help certain categories of air passenger living in France’s outermost regions. One is aimed at certain categories of passenger wishing to fly to mainland France from Martinique. The other, known as the “mobility passport” scheme, is geared towards French overseas residents following basic or vocational training in mainland France. The first aid scheme will assist certain categories of air passenger, such as students studying in mainland France and people on low incomes, helping to offset the permanent disadvantage suffered by the inhabitants of Martinique, where air fares are much higher than in mainland France. The aid, totalling around €250 for one return flight per person per year, will be available for scheduled flights between Fort-de-france and mainland France. The second aid scheme is designed to provide free air transport, under certain conditions, for students studying or training in mainland France or another Eu country. In both cases, aid is granted to passengers irrespective of which airline they travel with. The Commission has decided to authorise these two forms of aid after confirming that they benefit individual consumers, are of a social nature and will be granted without discrimination whichever air carrier operates the routes concerned. The two decisions will be available shortly on the European Commission website: http://europa.Eu.int/comm/secretariat_general/sgb/state_aids
