Motivation

In an application filed on January 13, 2003,

pursuant to the provision of Article 224 of the

Bill of July 3, 2002 The Aviation Law

(Dziennik Ustaw No. 130 Item 1112), Polskie

Linie Lotnicze "LOT" S.A. requested issuance of

an Adjustment Decision to the License to

Provide Air Transport Services No. TL-1-

904/144/93/140 dated April 8, 1994, issued by

the Minister of Transport and Maritime Economy,

to pursue business activity of regular and

occasional air transport.

Pursuant to Article 224 Clause 1 of the said

bill, licenses to pursue business activity

issued on the basis of previous regulations are

subject to adjustment to the provisions of the

said Bill - The Aviation Law.

In view of that, the body issuing the

Adjustment Decision has made an assessment,

whether the applicant has conformed to the

terms and conditions of obtaining a license to

provide air transport services determined in

the Bill, and adjusted the license decision to

the provisions of the Bill of July 3, 2002

The Aviation Law, in force since November 17,

2003.

In issuing this Decision, the issuing body has

taken into account the new rules under the

provisions of the Aviation Law, including also

the provisions of Article 167 Clause 4 stating

that a license to provide air transport

services may not authorize the licensee to

access to specific routes. Such authorization

may be granted the carrier under a separate

administrative decision, and in observance of

the procedure provided for by the said Aviation

Law.

For these reasons, and in order to retain

conformity with prevailing regulations, this

Adjustment Decision excludes the provisions of

point III of the No. TL-1-904/144/93/140 dated

April 8, 1994, granting PLL "LOT" S.A. the

title to operate connections retaining the

right of priority (if a route may be operated

by several air carriers) and the right of

exclusivity (if a route may be operated by one

air carrier), otherwise legal regulations.

Note

The party may, pursuant to the provision of

Article 127 § 3 and Article 129 § 2 of the Bill

of June 14, 1960 - the Administrative Procedure

Code (Dziennik Ustaw of 2000 No. 98 Item 1071,

as amended) request the President of the Civil

Aviation Authority, within 14 days of receiving

this Decision, to reconsider the case.
