Recent developments, working methods and future work programme on the agenda for economic experts

Videoconference, 19-20 October 2022 — The Economic Working Group took stock of recent developments, began a new format of working, and agreed its proposed work programme for 2023. It received a detailed presentation from ACI EUROPE on air connectivity and the economic impacts of climate change, prompting decisions on new ways of working to examine the economic impacts of aviation policy issues in other domains - and other events creating potential economic shocks - through a series of shorter online topical meetings as well as the traditional twice-yearly meetings. It also agreed on proposals aimed to bring work on the Paris Agreement of 1956 to a conclusion and to refresh the liberalisation toolkit.
