EUs De Palacio says any US-UK bilateral 'Open Skies' pact will be short-lived
European Union Transportation Commissioner Loyola de Palacio said if the US and the UK manage to come to an agreement on a bilateral “open skies” pact, the deal will be overruled by a European court later this year.
“The agreement can be signed with a clear short life,” de Palacio told reporters here ahead of the US-EU summit between European President Romano Prodi and President George Bush at the White House.
