EU backs U.S. Trans-Atlantic flight deal
22 March 2007European Union governments on Thursday backed a deal with the United States that should boost the number of people flying across the Atlantic by opening up restricted routes to new rivals – but delayed when the agreement will take effect.
The EU said all 27 member nations backed the deal, but delayed the effective date until March 30, 2008 instead of Oct. 28 of this year. European negotiators will now have to secure U.S. agreement to the delay.
