KUALA LUMPUR (XFN-ASIA) - The government and the EU have signed an aviation pact which will allow all airlines from any country within the bloc to fly to Malaysia, the Bernama news agency reported, citing Transport Minister Chan Kong Choy.Under the agreement, at least 200 European airlines, including those running charter services, will be able to fly to Malaysia, the report said.'The agreement removes nationality restrictions in bilateral air service agreements between EU member states and Malaysia,' Chan told Bernama from Brussels.'This means that any EU airline, not only national flag carriers, will be allowed to operate flights between the EU and Malaysia,' he said.The pact does not replace bilateral air service agreements but will bring them into line with EU laws by removing nationality restrictions, Bernama said.afp/jg
