Declaration concerning the competence of the European Community with regard to matters
governed by the Convention of 28 May 1999 for the unification of certain rules for
international carriage by air (the Montreal Convention):
1. The Montreal Convention provides that Regional Economic Integration Organisations
constituted by sovereign States of a given region, which have competence in respect
of certain matters governed by this Convention, may become parties to it.
2. The current Member States of the European Community are the Kingdom of Belgium,
the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the
Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Portuguese
Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
3. This declaration is not applicable to the territories of the Member States in which
the Treaty establishing the European Community does not apply and is without prejudice
to such acts or positions as may be adopted under the Convention by the Member States
concerned on behalf of and in the interests of those territories.
4. In respect of matters covered by the Convention, the Member States of the European
Community have transferred competence to the Community for liability for damage sustained
in case of death or injury of passenger. The Member States have also transferred competence
for liability for damage caused by delay and in the case of destruction, loss, damage
or delay in the carriage of baggage. This includes requirements on passenger information
and a minimum insurance requirement. Hence, in this field, it is for the Community
to adopt the relevant rules and regulations (which the Member States enforce) and
within its competence to enter into external undertakings with third States or competent
organisations.
5. The exercise of competence which the Member States have transferred to the Community
pursuant to the EC Treaty is, by its nature, liable to continuous development. In
the framework of the Treaty, the competent institutions may take decisions which determine
the extent of the competence of the European Community. The European Community therefore
reserves the right to amend the present declaration accordingly, without this constituting
a prerequisite for the exercise of its competence with regard to matters governed
by the Montreal Convention.

Annex to the Note Verbale [to ICAO] on the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European
Atomic Energy Community.
1. On 29 March 2017, the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland (the “United Kingdom”) notified the European Council of the United Kingdom’s
intention to withdraw from the European Union (“Union”) and the European Atomic Energy
Community (“Euratom”) in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.
On 22 March 2019, the European Council decided in agreement with the United Kingdom
to extend the period provided for in Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union
until 12 April 2019. On 10 April 2019, the European Council decided in agreement with
the United Kingdom to extend the period provided for in Article 50(3) of the Treaty
on European Unon until 31 October 2019. On 29 October 2019, the European Council decided
in agreement with the United Kingdom to extend the period provided for in Article
50(3) of the Treaty on European Union until 31 January 2020. The United Kingdom will
therefore cease to be a Member State of the European Union and of Euratom on 1 February
2020.
2. On 24 January 2020, the Union and Euratom, and the United Kingdom, in accordance
with Article 50, paragraph 2, of the Treaty on European Union, signed an Agreement
setting out the arrangements for the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union
and Euratom (“Withdrawal Agreement”). The Withdrawal Agreement will enter into force
on 1 February 2020, subject to its prior ratification by the United Kingdom and conclusion
by the Union and Euratom.
3. In order to address the specific situation of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom
from the Union and Euratom, the Withdrawal Agreement provides for a time-limited transition
period during which, save certain very limited exceptions, Union law shall be applicable
to and in the United Kingdom and that any reference to Member States in Union law,
including as implemented and applied by Member States, shall be understood as including
the United Kingdom.
4. The Union and Euratom, and the United Kingdom have agreed that Union law within
the meaning of the Withdrawal Agreement encompasses international agreements concluded
