<p>The EU-Israel Aviation Agreement was signed on 10 June 2013. Prior to this it was
subject to UK parliamentary scrutiny (EM 16502/12 & 16650/12 dated 4 December
2012). Scrutiny clearance was received from the European Scrutiny Committee on 12
December 2012 and the UK government therefore agreed to the Council Decision to sign
the Agreement at the Council held on 20 December 2012.</p><p> </p><p>The Agreement
is currently being amended due to the accession of Croatia to the European Union.
The Decision to sign the amendment was agreed by Council on 8 October 2014 and is
currently being considered by the European Parliament. Once this is complete, the
Agreement and the amendment will then be concluded at a later date. The amendment
will not be subject to UK parliamentary scrutiny as the European Scrutiny Committees
of both Houses have agreed to waive parliamentary scrutiny of all amendments to EU-3rd
country agreements, where the sole purpose of the amendment is to accede Croatia to
an agreement.</p>
