4. The air carriers of each Contracting Party may on any or all flights and at their option:
(a) operate flights in either or both directions;

ANNEX II
TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
1. The implementation and application of all the provisions of this Agreement, especially the standards specified in
Annex III, except part B of that Annex, shall be verified by an evaluation under the responsibility of the European
Union and shall be approved by a decision of the Joint Committee. Such an evaluation shall be conducted on the
earliest of (i) the date on which Jordan notifies the Joint Committee of its fulfilment of the harmonisation process
based on Annex III of this Agreement, or (ii) one year after the entry into force of this Agreement.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Annex I, the agreed services and specified routes of this Agreement, shall not
include, until the moment of the adoption of the decision referred to in paragraph 1 of this Annex II, the right for the
air carriers of all Contracting Parties to exercise 5th freedom rights, including for the air carriers of Jordan between
points within the territory of the European Union. However, all traffic rights already granted by one of the bilateral
agreements between Jordan and the Member States of the European Union can continue to be exercised insofar as
there is no discrimination between air carriers of the European Union on the basis of nationality.
3. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of this Annex, the implementation and application of the security standards specified in
part B of Annex III shall be verified by an evaluation under the responsibility of the European Union and shall be
approved by a decision of the Joint Committee. The confidential parts of the security legislation indicated in Part B of
Annex III will be shared with Jordan only once such a decision is adopted.
4. All Air Carriers of both Contracting Parties shall benefit from the right provided in Article 8 paragraph 3(a)(i) (‘self-
handling’) at the Queen Alia International Airport on 1 January 2016 at the latest. In the meantime, all ground-
handling services at that airport shall be available on an equal and non-discriminatory basis to all air carriers; prices of
such services shall not exceed their full cost including a reasonable return on assets, after depreciation.
