table>(1)On 1 December 2016 the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Republic of Armenia for a common aviation area agreement. The negotiations were successfully concluded with the initialling of the Common Aviation Area Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Armenia, of the other part (‘the Agreement’) on 24 November 2017.
(2)The signing of the Agreement on behalf of the Union and its provisional application do not affect the allocation of competences between the Union and its Member States. This Decision should not be interpreted as making use of the possibility for the Union to exercise its external competence with regard to areas covered by the Agreement falling within shared competence to the extent that such competence has not yet been exercised internally by the Union.

(3)The Agreement should be signed and applied on a provisional basis, pending the completion of the procedures necessary for its entry into force.

(4)It is appropriate to lay down the procedure to be followed with respect to the position to be taken on behalf of the Union as regards decisions of the Joint Committee under Article 27(7) of the Agreement concerning the inclusion of Union legislation in Annex II thereto,
